What is Meta Platforms, Inc., and when was it founded?
Investors often forget that Meta isn’t just Facebook anymore.
Meta Platforms, Inc. was originally founded as Facebook in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and rebranded to Meta in 2021. The shift signaled a long-term pivot beyond social media toward virtual and augmented reality, as well as AI infrastructure and metaverse platforms.
How does Meta generate most of its revenue?
Despite its metaverse ambitions, Meta still runs on ads.
Over 97% of Meta’s revenue comes from digital advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Businesses pay to reach billions of users through highly targeted ads, powered by Meta’s AI-driven algorithm and vast behavioral data network.
What are Meta’s biggest competitors (TikTok, Google, Apple, Microsoft)?
Meta competes across multiple fronts-each with a different rival.
In social media, TikTok is its biggest threat, especially for younger users. In advertising, Google dominates search while Meta leads social. Apple challenges Meta through iOS privacy changes, while Microsoft competes in AI and productivity platforms.
How has Meta’s stock price performed historically?
META has had one of the most volatile trajectories in Big Tech.
The stock delivered strong gains from IPO (2012) to 2021, hitting all-time highs above $380. It dropped over 70% in 2022 during the ad slowdown and metaverse spending cycle, then rebounded sharply in 2023–2025 with strong AI and earnings momentum.
How do Reality Labs and metaverse investments affect Meta’s stock?
Investors are still divided on Meta’s metaverse vision.
Reality Labs loses billions annually and has weighed on earnings. However, signs of product traction in AR/VR or longer-term vision alignment can boost sentiment. When investors focus on AI and ad growth instead, META tends to perform better.
Can Meta (META) be traded as a tokenized stock on blockchain platforms?
Yes - META is available on certain tokenized equity platforms.
Some [crypto exchanges] (https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/) and synthetic asset protocols list tokenized META, allowing 24/7 trading tied to the real-world stock. These instruments are designed to track META’s Nasdaq price either through custodial backing or price oracles.
Which exchanges offer tokenized Meta stock trading?
Platforms change frequently-but some options are consistent.
[Tokenized META] (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/meta-tokenized-stock-xstock/) has been available on platforms like Uphold, XT.com, and previously FTX. DeFi protocols such as Mirror and Synthetix also offer synthetic versions. Always check if the token is backed 1:1 or synthetically derived.
Is Meta investing in blockchain, NFTs, or Web3 beyond the metaverse?
Meta’s blockchain efforts are selective but ongoing.
After shutting down its Diem stablecoin, Meta shifted to supporting NFTs on Instagram and Facebook. It has invested in infrastructure that could support Web3 content, but its blockchain role remains secondary to AI and metaverse priorities.
Does Meta have plans to launch its own digital assets or blockchain solutions?
A re-launch is unlikely-for now.
Meta scrapped its Diem digital currency in 2022 after regulatory backlash. While it has the infrastructure to build new crypto or NFT solutions, the company now focuses more on AI and immersive platforms than issuing native tokens.
Why did Meta’s stock surge after its AI announcements?
AI shifted investor focus away from risky metaverse bets.
Meta’s AI chips, open-source models (like LLaMA), and AI-driven content tools reassured investors of near-term monetization potential. As AI boosted ad targeting and user engagement, the market rewarded Meta with a strong stock rebound.
How much of Meta is owned by Mark Zuckerberg versus institutions?
Zuckerberg has less equity-but outsized control.
Mark Zuckerberg owns around 13% of Meta’s total shares but controls over 50% of voting power due to dual-class stock. Institutional investors like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant non-voting shares, giving Zuckerberg full strategic authority.
What are the best ways to invest in Meta (stock, ETFs, tokenized shares)?
You can invest through traditional or crypto-native routes.
Buy META directly via stock brokerages or through tech ETFs like QQQ or XLK. For 24/7 access or DeFi integration, use tokenized META on exchanges that support it. Just confirm whether it’s backed by shares or synthetic.
