DouYu (Chinese: 斗鱼; pinyin: Dòuyú) is a Chinese video live streaming service. The site is the largest of its kind in China with 163.6 million monthly active users in 2019,[1] more than the 140 million monthly active users of Twitch.[2] In July 2019, DouYu International Holdings Ltd raised $21 million through U.S. initial public offering (IPO) and it listed itself on the Nasdaq with the stock symbol DOYU.[3] It was the largest IPO of any Chinese company on Wall Street in 2019.[2]
In 2018, Douyu made $21 million in advertisement revenues.[4] Tencent owns about 21% of the shares.[5]
It was listed on the NASDAQ exchange on July 17, 2019.[6] In August, the company was registered in Japan, and a new company "Mildom" was established with Mitsui & Co. to enter the Japanese market.[7]
As of March 31, 2020, Tencent held 38% of the company's shares, making it its largest shareholder. On August 10, Douyu announced that it had received a non-binding preliminary proposal from Tencent, which proposed that Douyu and Huya Live merge in the form of a share exchange.[8]
