A source previously told Business Insider that Snap plans to IPO in March at around a $25 billion valuation, but now Bloomberg is saying that number could swell as high as $35 billion.

The company last raised $1.81 billion in private funding in May, which pegged its valuation at between $18 billion and $22 billion.
