Rumble Inc. (RUM), the video-sharing platform and cloud services provider, witnessed a remarkable 50.90% surge in its stock price on Monday, December 23, 2024, during pre-market trading. This substantial rally was fueled by the company's announcement of a strategic $775 million investment from the cryptocurrency firm Tether.

Under the terms of the agreement, Tether has agreed to purchase approximately 103.3 million shares of Rumble at a price of $7.50 per share, totaling $775 million in gross proceeds for Rumble. The company plans to allocate $250 million from the proceeds to support its growth initiatives, solidifying its position in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Additionally, Rumble intends to utilize the remaining proceeds to fund a self-tender offer, allowing the company to repurchase up to 70 million of its Class A common stock at the same price of $7.50 per share. This share buyback program not only demonstrates the company's confidence in its long-term prospects but also provides a rare liquidity event for Rumble's investors.
