- vlovich123 8y agoWho actually owns twitter & how are you defining ownership? It seems like you're implying something but the implication isn't clear to me. In terms of individuals, they are the single largest shareholders. Evan Clark Williams ... the social media company's largest individual shareholder. Per an October 10, 2018 filing with the SEC, Williams owns 1.4 million shares directly and another combined 18.3 million shares indirectly through Obvious Corp. and a family trust So he owns ~671 million Jack Dorsey ... most recent filing with the SEC on April 28, 2017 he is the second-largest individual owner of Twitter with 16.6 million shares. So he owns ~565 million. Peter H. Fenton ... last filing with the SEC on May 25, 2016, the former director owns 21,165 shares directly and a combined 3.7 million shares indirectly through Benchmark Capital and a family trust ...Benchmark Capital who acquired a 6.6% stake in Twitter during a Series C funding round in 2009, at a $25 billion valuation. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/insights/060916/top-3-twitter-shareholders-twtr.asp https://www.investopedia.com/articles/insights/060916/top-3-... In terms of institutional investors, it's Vanguard, Blackrock & Morgan Stanley which together make up 30% by my count. https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/twtr/institutional-holdings https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/twtr/institutional-holdings
