Spotify Technology S.A

Spotify Technology S.A. is a Luxembourg-domiciled, Sweden-founded streaming corporation with global headquarters in Stockholm and offices across the world. It dominates the audio streaming market, with close to 700 million active users and more than 270 million paying subscribers. Spotify has transformed music distribution, reshaping how artists earn and how listeners consume sound. Yet the company has faced criticism for exploitative royalty models, its centralisation of cultural access, and the growing influence of CEO Daniel Ek, whose personal investments link Spotify’s success to the military–tech sector.
