Writer's $46.33 Mark Sits Below the Round. Common Liquidity Is Still Missing: August 2026

Writer's current Forge Price is $46.33, 11.0% below Forge's $52.03 Series C preferred anchor. That is a mark-to-primary comparison—not a preferred-to-common spread: the public page shows no common bid, ask, or last matched price, and it does not identify the security or deal size behind the mark. Writer's $1.9B Series C valuation is context; neither number prices an employee exit. 12

Forge shows a $46.33 Forge Price and a $1.69B Forge Price valuation. Against the $52.03 Series C preferred price per share, the gap is ($46.33 / $52.03) - 1 = -11.0%. The company’s Series C announcement describes $200M of new capital at a $1.9B valuation. 12

Forge lists the Series C block at a 1.0x liquidation preference, a 1.0x conversion ratio, and an 8.0% dividend rate. Those are preferred-security terms. They explain why the round's per-share price cannot be carried straight across to a common-holder exit without knowing the security and the sale mechanics. 1

If you hold Writer common options: $46.33 is the only public per-share number in view, not a disclosed common bid. Forge defines Forge Price as a derived data point and warns that it may not represent the price at which a security could be bought or sold. The public page leaves share class, instrument type—direct shares, forward contract, or SPV—and approximate transaction size undisclosed. It also leaves the current bid, ask, and last matched price hidden. The preferred-to-common spread is therefore not calculable from the public record. 1
