2 prediction markets price this story:

• Above 800 million — the market puts it at 97%, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Spotify Technology S.A. reports having more than 800 million total monthly active users in 2026. It resolves to No if the company does not report that figure. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a service outage for the relevant metric, but only the official user count matters.
• Above 316 million — the market puts it at 5%, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Spotify Technology S.A. reports having more than 316 million premium subscribers in 2026. It resolves to No if the reported number is 316 million or fewer. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it depends on any quarterly report rather than the specific annual figure for 2026.
