金流產業的 Square 買了音樂產業的 Tidal 大量股份,入主 Tidal:「Square to Buy Majority Stake in Jay-Z’s Tidal Music Streaming Platform」,TechCrunch 也有報導:「Square buys majority of Tidal, adds Jay Z to its board in bid to shake up the artist economy」。
這次的入股包括現金與股票交換,同時也讓 Jay-Z 成為 Square 的董事:
Square Inc. is buying a majority stake in Tidal, a music and entertainment platform owned by rapper Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and other artists, for $297 million in cash and stock.
The deal also installs musician and businessperson Jay Z on Square’s board.
Square 跟 Tidal 的組合想像起來有點累,這算盤不知道怎麼打...
