Microsoft has approached in recent months Pinterest with the intention of acquiring the social network, popular for allowing the sharing of images and tutorials on hobbies, food or decoration, in order to enhance its Azure platform.
The social network has always shared its intention to be independent. With the pandemic, its market value has grown more than 600%, and it is estimated that it is around 51,000 million dollars, as pointed out The Financial Times.
According to close sources, Microsoft has started conversations with Pinterest in recent months, although currently they would no longer be active. He had previously shown interest in acquiring the US operations of Tiktok, following the veto of the Trump Administration. Behind the interest in Pinterest would be the intention to bring services with large communities to Azure, its cloud platform.
The social network has 459 million monthly users, and uses the services of Amazon Web Services. The GitHub open source repository, the Minecraft video game or more recently the ZeniMax video game company are some of the acquisitions that Microsoft has made in recent years.
