Groupon Has 115 Million Subscribers [REPORT]

Credit:

Reuters, citing an unnamed source, reports that Groupon's subscriber base has grown 38% since March 31 (when it had 83.1 million subscribers), and 127% since the end of 2010 (when it had 50.58 million subscribers).

The 115 million figure, if accurate, would imply that Groupon continues to sign on new subscribers and expand its pool of potential deal buyers at an explosive rate.

Oddly enough, the remarkable but unconfirmed stat comes in the midst of Groupon's somewhat awkward attempt to become a public company. The daily deals site leader filed for a $750 million IPO in June, but that was said to be delayed due to SEC questioning.

Now, All Things D is reporting that Groupon will revise its accounting statements and file an amended IPO, possibly as soon as Monday.

A company spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
