Digital Services Act
The Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) requires providers of online platforms to publish for each online platform they operate, by 17 February 2023 and at least once every six months thereafter, information on the average monthly active recipients of their service in the European Union, calculated as an average over the period of the past six months, in a publicly available section of their online interface.
According to the Recital 65 of the Digital Services Act, the sole purpose of the obligation to publish information on the average monthly active recipients of online platform services in the European Union is to determine whether the online platform is considered a “very large online platform”. Article 33 section 1 of the Digital Services Act considers online platforms that have at least 45 million average monthly active recipients of their services as “‘very large online platforms”. Article 24 section 2 of the Digital Services Act is focused only on publishing the information on the average monthly active recipients of online platform service, not the exact number of average monthly active recipients of the service.
Given the purpose of the publishing obligation and its wording under the Article 24 section 2 of the Digital Services Act, Bolt has calculated the average monthly active recipients of the services provided on its online platforms and is pleased to publish the following information.

Bolt remains at the European Commission’s disposal, should the Commission require any additional information on Bolt’s obligation under Article 24 section 2 of the Digital Services Act.
