Forbes was founded by B. C. Forbes and has grown into one of the most recognized names in business journalism. The publication is backed by Integrated Whale Media, which holds a majority ownership stake, while the Forbes family retains a minority share and board seats, per Axios reporting from 2025. Axios also reported in 2025 that Forbes was no longer actively pursuing a sale and was focusing on growing the business under that ownership structure.

Forbes has a documented history of engagement with crypto and blockchain. In 2018, Forbes partnered with Civil to publish a sample of its content to a blockchain network, which Axios described as the first major media company to attempt that type of blockchain publishing partnership. In February 2022, Forbes announced a $200 million investment from Binance tied to a planned SPAC IPO, with Axios reporting that the investment would have made Binance the second-largest owner behind Integrated Whale Media. The SPAC transaction was later terminated in 2022, according to reporting from Reuters, CNBC and The Wall Street Journal. A subsequent agreement for Austin Russell to acquire an 82% stake, reached in May 2023, was also canceled after Russell failed to raise the required funds by deadline, per Axios.

Forbes has published 678,057 posts on the platform and has 20,345,179 followers as of July 2026. Forbes has been mentioned by 6,722 accounts, with 58,363 total mentions.
