Disney's announced $1.5B stake purchase was completed in fiscal 2024, not a second round. Epic's 2022 $2B Sony/KIRKBI round was conditional when announced; Sony later confirmed its $1B component. The 2020 $1.78B total mixes primary and employee-secondary purchases and includes Sony's $250M. The 2018 investment and Tencent's 2012 share acquisition lack a primary/secondary split. Unsupported database series labels were removed. This is not a complete legal funding register.

Disney completed equity-stake investment

The Walt Disney Company (lead)

Disney reports $1.5B invested in Epic during fiscal 2024 and an 8% interest at September 28, 2024. Its interim filing says $1B for 5% was acquired in April and another $500M for 2% was committed for July. The public filings do not allocate issuer proceeds versus existing-holder sales; 8% is a historical Disney stake, not a current cap-table claim.
