Please note: The numbers here do not include all Twitter Blue subscribers. Twitter does not provide a way to list subscribers, and the methods used to compile this list do not find all accounts (in particular protected accounts, non-Anglophone accounts, and accounts with a small number of followers are less likely to appear here). The most recent internal leaks suggest that this list includes around 85-90% of all Twitter Blue subscribers.

Update for the past week:

  • 32,709 newly identified accounts with Twitter Blue verification
  • 15,067 accounts lost Blue verification (either by unsubscription or Twitter action)
  • 16,377 accounts returning (had been previously observed as subscribed, then weren't, and now are again)
  • 242 Blue accounts suspended
  • 503 Blue accounts self-deactivated

Net increase of 32,683 current Blue accounts for a total of 444,435.

Some other information about current subscribers

Note that internal leaks suggest that this list only includes 85-90% of the total number of current Blue subscribers, and that coverage is best for Anglophone accounts.
