[Meta Platforms](/quotes/META/) shares popped about 6% higher on Thursday after [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-04/meta-s-zuckerberg-plans-deep-cuts-for-metaverse-efforts?embedded-checkout=true) reported that CEO [Mark Zuckerberg](https://www.cnbc.com/mark-zuckerberg/) was looking to make significant cuts to the company's metaverse resources.
Bloomberg said that executives have considered cuts as high as 30% for the unit, citing people familiar with the talks.
The move would be notable for the [Facebook](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/28/facebook-changes-company-name-to-meta.html) parent company, which changed its name to Meta in October 2021 to signal its pivot beyond social media.
Zuckerberg said at the time that "the metaverse is the next frontier just like social networking was when we got started."
The proposed cuts would likely include layoffs, according to Bloomberg, which said the proposed cuts were part of budget planning for 2026.
