Rumble

What Rumble does

Rumble (now operating as RUM Group Inc. as of June 2026) runs a dual-segment technology business. Its core Rumble video platform, founded in 2013, is an alternative video-sharing service positioned against YouTube that emphasizes creator-friendly monetization, less restrictive content moderation policies, revenue sharing, and a stable of high-profile creators (Joe Rogan via the CallIn acquisition, Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson). The platform serves video creators, podcasters, and live streamers with a product suite that includes Rumble Shorts for short-form vertical video, Rumble Premium subscriptions, Rumble Wallet (non-custodial crypto wallet supporting BTC, USDT, and XAUT for direct peer-to-peer creator tipping), the Rumble Advertising Center (RAC) for ad sales, and acquired brands Locals.com (subscription communities) and CallIn (podcasting). The platform reported 56 million monthly active users in Q1 2026.

The Quake AI division was formed following the June 2026 acquisition of Northern Data AG (approximately 85.2% ownership for $767 million in all-stock consideration). Quake AI combines Northern Data's approximately 22,000 NVIDIA H100/H200 GPUs across nine data centers with up to 250 MW of power capacity and Rumble's existing CPU cloud infrastructure to sell GPU-as-a-service and cloud computing to enterprise customers. Commercial anchors include a $270 million multi-year dedicated GPU agreement with Together AI for NVIDIA Blackwell B300 systems, a $250 million GPU partnership commitment from Tether, and infrastructure partnerships with Anchorage Digital and the Cleveland Browns.

Rumble generates revenue through five streams: advertising sales via RAC, subscription revenue from Rumble Premium, creator monetization through the CallIn podcasting platform, managed services revenue from Quake AI's GPU cloud business, and transaction-based crypto tipping via Rumble Wallet (built on Tether's Wallet Development Kit with MoonPay-powered fiat on/off ramps). Strategic ownership is heavily influenced by Tether, whose cumulative investments exceed $800 million across multiple tranches, making it the largest single shareholder while providing both capital commitments and contracted GPU/advertising revenue. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ (ticker: RUM), headquartered in Longboat Key, Florida (with engineering presence in Toronto, Canada), and rebranded to RUM Group Inc. in June 2026 to reflect its expansion beyond video into AI infrastructure.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• YouTube (Alphabet): The dominant video sharing platform that Rumble directly competes against for creators and viewers. YouTube is the incumbent benchmark for video monetization, content moderation policies, and creator economics that Rumble's free-speech positioning is differentiated against.
• BitChute: Alternative video sharing platform with a free-speech-oriented creator base, directly overlapping Rumble's core value proposition and conservative-leaning audience. Competes head-to-head for creators seeking less restrictive moderation policies.
• Odysee (LBRY): Decentralized video platform that, like Rumble, targets creators seeking an alternative to YouTube with crypto-native monetization. Odysee's blockchain-based approach parallels Rumble Wallet integration and competes for the same free-speech creator segment.
• CoreWeave: Specialized GPU cloud provider offering NVIDIA-based compute for AI workloads, the closest direct competitor to Quake AI. CoreWeave is publicly traded with a much larger fleet and similar customer base (AI startups, hyperscalers, enterprises) competing for the same enterprise GPU-as-a-service demand.
• Vimeo: Video hosting and SaaS platform that competes in the creator and SMB video distribution market. While more enterprise-focused, Vimeo overlaps with Rumble's video hosting, live streaming, and subscription tools.
• Lambda Labs: GPU cloud provider offering NVIDIA H100 infrastructure to AI researchers and enterprises, directly competing with Quake AI for AI compute workloads. Lambda's focus on deep learning compute parallels Quake AI's positioning.
• Dailymotion: Video sharing platform competing in the same long-form and live streaming category as Rumble. Dailymotion serves similar use cases (creator uploads, monetization, content distribution) and competes for international audiences.

Broad incumbents

• Twitch (Amazon): Live streaming platform owned by Amazon that competes with Rumble Live for streamers and live audiences, though primarily gaming-focused. Both platforms target creator monetization through subscriptions, ads, and tipping mechanics.

Emerging players

• Kick: Emerging live streaming platform that, like Rumble, attracts creators dissatisfied with mainstream platforms and competes for free-speech-oriented streamers. Kick's 95/5 revenue split parallels Rumble's creator-friendly monetization positioning.
• Substack: Creator monetization platform offering subscription-based content distribution (newsletter, podcast, video). Substack competes with Rumble Premium and Locals for independent creators seeking direct audience monetization outside mainstream platforms.
