Microsoft would be interested in buying Pinterest

According to the Financial Times, in recent months, Microsoft has been interested in buying Pinterest for a figure close to 51 billion dollars. Although the news comes from sources very close to the two parties, at the moment the negotiation would be stalled and waiting for a move by Microsoft.

For its part, in the last four months, Pinterest has seen an increase in its users by 37%, reaching 459 million thanks to the 100 million users gained in 2020 alone. Despite the exponential growth of its shares, according to sources in the Financial Times, the company's intention would be to remain independent.

The sale of Pinterest, which began generating profits by placing ads near its pins, would also be an important test for the newly elected Biden administration and its policy on agreements between large tech companies.
