I think you'll find varied opinions in an organization as sprawling as Bloomberg. My favorite writer Matt Levine had a short blurb about this, he's consistently pretty sharp with a dash of humor.

Matt Levine is one of my favorite finance / business writers of all time. Really good grasp on technical financial details as well as the complex incentives that drive markets. He doesn't really get how the tech world works (maybe that's changed; haven't followed him regularly in a year or so) but a lot of fintech people would benefit from reading him

This is probably the 409a valuation of the shares after the last round.
