BuzzFeed announced on Tuesday that it had raised $200 million from NBCUniversal.

Re/code previously reported that BuzzFeed was raising $250 million from NBCUniversal at a $1.5 billion valuation.

NBCUniversal also recently invested $200 million in Vox Media at an $850 million pre-money valuation.

Last summer, BuzzFeed raised a $50 million Series E round, led by Andreessen Horowitz's Chris Dixon. The Series E capital infusion valued BuzzFeed at $850 million at the time.

According to internal documents obtained by Gawker last week, BuzzFeed's revenue tripled from 2012 to 2013. In the first half of last year, it reached $46 million.

"This is also great news for all BuzzFeed employees," BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti said in a memo to employees on Tuesday. BuzzFeed also just announced a deal with Yahoo Japan that will allow both companies to launch BuzzFeed Japan together as a Tokyo-based venture.
