Europe's largest tech investment firm, Prosus, has announced that it has acquired US firm Stack OverFlow for $ 1.8 billion enough to allow it to diversify its holdings outside the Chinese markets.

Prosus owns around $ 200 billion in shares of Tencent, the Chinese internet giant. In April, the company sold part of its Tencent shares, raising nearly $ 15 billion. This transaction reduced its share of Tencent from 30.9% to 29.9%. Prosus says they see better long-term investment opportunities outside of China.
Over 60 millionaires

Prosus manages many different investments in technology companies and investment groups around the world, for example Movile, in Brazil, and delivery giant iFood.
