All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world. </div> <div>In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
