Facebook goes public after years of delay while company focused on features, growth

Facebook is now officially a public company as it made its shares available for trading on the Nasdaq this morning priced at $38 a share. This gives the social network a potential market cap of $104 billion for the largest Internet IPO in history.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg rang the opening bell from Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. Employees spent all night on the company’s 57-acre campus for a hackathon event where they worked on new projects of their choosing.
