Description
GoDaddy Inc. sells domain names, web hosting, website building tools, security products, online commerce software and email and productivity subscriptions to small businesses, individuals and domain investors. It is the largest domain registrar, with about 81 million domains under management at 31 December 2025, roughly 21 percent of all domains registered worldwide, and 20.4 million customers in more than 200 markets. The business reports two segments: Core Platform, mainly domain registrations and renewals, aftermarket domain sales and hosting, which produced about 62 percent of revenue in 2025, and Applications and Commerce, which covers the proprietary website, commerce and marketing software and produced about 38 percent. Revenue was $4.95 billion in 2025, up 8.3 percent, with operating income of $1.13 billion and net income of $875.0 million, and the company employed 5,845 people at year end. GoDaddy was founded in 1997 in Arizona and has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since April 2015.

Select a row or a slice for its provenance: the filing it came from, when it was measured, and the arithmetic behind it if it was modelled.
The full register, from 13F filings
The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 607 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
607 managers reported a position, together holding 132.4m shares, or 100.0% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of the 132.4m shares outstanding at 24 Apr 2026, the count in force when this quarter was measured rather than the count today.
Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.
What a reader needs to know to read these numbers
- UP-C STRUCTURE: fully collapsed. GoDaddy's original Up-C (GoDaddy Inc. as managing member of Desert Newco, LLC, with Class B common stock and LLC Units held by pre-IPO sponsors) no longer exists. The Q2 2026 10-Q (period 30 Jun 2026, filed 31 Jul 2026, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1609711/000160971126000088/gddy-20260630.htm) contains zero hits for 'Desert Newco', 'Class B common stock', 'LLC Units' or 'Up-C'; the only equity class on the balance sheet and cover page is Class A common stock. Shares outstanding as of 24 Jul 2026 (the cover page, the freshest dated figure available): 126,647,704. This is a single-class register: company.shares_outstanding is the sole denominator for every pct_of_company in this file.
- SPONSOR EXITS (KKR, Silver Lake, Technology Crossover Ventures): none of the three hold a reportable position today, and none appears anywhere in the current DEF 14A (24 Apr 2026 proxy has zero hits for 'KKR', 'Silver Lake', 'Technology Crossover' or 'TCV'). EDGAR full-text search of every SC 13D/13D-A/13G/13G-A filed against GoDaddy (CIK 0001609711) from 1 Jan 2023 through 20 Aug 2026 (23 hits) shows no filer named KKR, Silver Lake, TCV or any of their known reporting vehicles. Checking further back, the last Schedule 13G/A filings from KKR 2006 GDG Blocker L.P. (CIK 0001637626), Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. (CIK 0001418226) and TCV VII LP (CIK 0001420295) were all filed 13 Feb 2019, covering the period through 31 Dec 2018; none of the three has filed against GDDY since. This is treated as a full, dated exit for all three: a note with no row, not a null row, per the brief.
- HOLDINGS SIDE: empty. Searched the FY2025 10-K (filed 25 Feb 2026, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1609711/000160971126000010/gddy-20251231.htm) and the Q2 2026 10-Q for 'equity method' (0 hits, both), 'equity investment' (found only a single combined line item), 'non-marketable' (0 hits, both), 'privately held' (found, same line item), 'joint venture' (only forward-looking risk-factor boilerplate, no actual JV named), 'unconsolidated' (0 hits, both), 'strategic investment' (risk-factor boilerplate only), 'cost method' (0 hits) and 'investment in' (all hits are FX net-investment-hedge language or generic 'investment in our common stock' risk language, none is an equity stake). Both filings disclose the identical line: 'We hold investments in privately held equity securities, which are recorded in other assets, with a carrying value of $58.8 million as of June 30, 2026 [and $58.8 million and $53.1 million as of 31 Dec 2025 and 31 Dec 2024 respectively]'. No investee is named and no ownership percentage is given anywhere in either filing. Exhibit 21 (subsidiaries list, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1609711/000160971126000010/a2025xex211xsubsidiaries.htm) was checked for an ownership-percentage column per the brief's Pentair/Quest technique: it is a bare name list with zero hits for '%', 'percent' or 'owned', a genuine negative like Labcorp's and Darden's. Per the brief, the combined $58.8 million balance cannot be assigned to any single unnamed investee, so it is recorded here and in unknowns rather than as a holdings row.
- CAPITAL GROUP: checked and holds NOTHING in GoDaddy as of Q2 2026, not a gap. Enumerated 8 Capital Group registrants that file their own 13F (entity list only, not their share figures, per the brief's guidance not to use data/registers/GDDY.json for figures): Capital Research Global Investors (CIK 0001422848), Capital World Investors (0001422849), Capital International Investors (0001562230), Capital International, Inc./CA/ (0000895213), Capital Group Investment Management Pte. Ltd. (0001939970), Capital Group Private Client Services, Inc. (0001857666) each filed a Q2 2026 13F-HR and none reports a GDDY position (CUSIP 380237107, checked via each entity's own information table). Two further registrants, Capital Group Companies, Inc. (0000732812) and Capital Group International, Inc. (0000949308), filed 13F-NT (no holdings) for the quarter. data/registers/GDDY.json's truncated top-40 also carries no Capital Group entity, consistent with this finding.
- REGISTER SELF-GATE, computed from this final file exactly as the chart computes it (no row here carries is_aggregate or rolls_up_into, so every row counts at full value): 20 rows (8 institutional + 12 individual directors/officers). Share total: Vanguard family 17,036,812 + BlackRock 10,456,688 + Morgan Stanley 5,806,915 + State Street 5,222,946 + FMR/Fidelity 4,791,034 + Geode 3,816,999 + T. Rowe Price Associates 2,000,339 + JPMorgan 1,513,514 + 12 named directors/officers 1,238,337 = 51,883,584 shares, which is 40.97% of shares_outstanding (126,647,704). Within the brief's expected 25 to 45% band.
- The 2026 DEF 14A's own beneficial-ownership table (as of 7 Apr 2026, when shares outstanding were 132,696,893) lists 'All current executive officers and directors as a group (12 persons)' at 1,238,337 shares, which sums EXACTLY to the 12 individually named directors and named executive officers on this file (Bhutani 734,091 + H. Chen 18,657 + R. Chen 266,354 + Donahue 21,384 + Garrett 22,364 + McCaffrey 83,875 + Sharples 19,957 + Sine 44,348 + Smith 3,342 + Sweet 11,449 + Tallapragada 6,458 + Zarmi 6,058 = 1,238,337). Because the group total has zero residual beyond the 12 named individuals, no separate 'group' aggregate row is included in this register: including both would double count the identical shares. This differs from the Marriott/chunk-15 defect pattern precisely because there is no unnamed residual here to reduce.
- IMPLIED PER-SHARE PRICE CHECK across every institutional 13F row, all dated 30 Jun 2026: Vanguard family $84.87 to $84.88/sh (across 7 holding entities), BlackRock $84.88/sh, Morgan Stanley $84.88/sh, State Street $84.88/sh, FMR $84.88/sh, Geode $84.75/sh, T. Rowe Price Associates $84.88/sh after converting its thousands-denominated value column, JPMorgan $85.60/sh (a modest outlier, still well within a normal range). No row is off by the ~1000x that would flag a values-in-thousands slip.
- The proxy's 5% Equity Holders table (as of 7 Apr 2026) cites Vanguard at 18,912,812 shares (14.3%, sourced to a 30 Oct 2025 Schedule 13G/A) and BlackRock at 14,230,205 shares (10.7%, sourced to an undated Schedule 13G/A excerpt). Both are older, 13G-sourced figures superseded in this file by the fresh Q2 2026 13F reads (Vanguard family 17,036,812; BlackRock 10,456,688), per the brief's instruction to prefer the fresh 13F over a stale 13G quoted in a proxy. Recorded here for reconciliation rather than used as the row value.
Looked for, not found
Recorded rather than filled in. Each of these is a place where a number could have been invented and was not.
- The $58.8 million combined carrying value of GoDaddy's privately held equity securities (as of 30 Jun 2026, same balance reported at 31 Dec 2025) is not broken out by investee anywhere in the FY2025 10-K, the Q2 2026 10-Q or Exhibit 21, so no individual holdings-side figure can be derived without inventing a split.
- No 10-K, 10-Q or DEF 14A basis was found for a current KKR, Silver Lake or Technology Crossover Ventures position; searched the current 10-K, current 10-Q and current DEF 14A by name plus EDGAR's full SC 13D/13G filing history against CIK 0001609711 (last sponsor filings: Feb 2019). Treated as a complete exit rather than an unsized holding.
