Financial_Express reports that Datadog is proposing to acquire Upwind for nearly $4 billion. The source identifies Upwind as a cloud-security startup and does not report a completed acquisition.

The reported transaction valuation represents 80 times Upwind’s annual recurring revenue (ARR). The message does not provide a separate ARR figure, its measurement date, or the methodology behind that multiple.

The supplied evidence is a Telegram report, not a company announcement or securities filing. It provides no payment structure, financing conditions, dilution details, regulatory requirements, or closing timetable, and does not establish that a definitive agreement has been signed.
