Its weird they'd use Pitchbook as their source for funding when Uber disclosed information in their S1 under the table titled "Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock". See page F-51 here: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1543151/000119312519103850/d647752ds1.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1543151/000119312519...
From that table, they didn't raise 15B at 48.77 but closer to 8B. The article is off by 50%. Still a stunning amount of money under water.
What's also not highlighted in the article is that holders of that series G preferred stock are entitled to a $3.90 annual dividend per share (again, see the table in the S1). If you assume a 10% discount rate for 5 years of dividends, that dividend is worth like $14 per share today. So maybe they aren't as under water as the article claims. [EDIT:] if you read further along, it looks like Series G got converted to common stock in 2018, so they no longer get paid this dividend.
That said, people who bought common stock do not get dividends as of today.
