Bloomberg, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1981 and employs approximately 2,400 individuals. It reported $3.0M in revenue as of 2023 and operates as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company's main product is broadcast television and radio, complementing its broader scope as a provider of financial, software, data, and media services.
On April 29, 2026, GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage Limited selected Bloomberg’s Trade Order Management Solutions (TOMS) to enhance its bond market-making operations in Hong Kong. Concurrently, Bloomberg began testing ASKB, an AI tool on its terminal, pitching it as a form of agentic AI, though it currently functions more like a chatbot interface. This followed Bloomberg's April 16 unveiling of its 2026 roadmap for ASKB, a conversational AI interface now in beta, planning its evolution from a discovery tool into a deeply integrated solution. Earlier, on April 26, Bloomberg News sought a versatile editor to join its commodities and energy group in the Americas, covering breaking news on corporate mergers, major moves in global commodity markets, and pledges to curb carbon emissions.
