Meta's 24.3 per cent stock decline from February 3 indicates that the company was valued at $680.6bn compared with $898.5bn the previous day.
Ironically, Facebook held the previous record for the most significant one-day loss in history. In July 2018, they reported a loss of $119bn after stating a slowed growth in second-quarter earnings.

This comes as a woman claimed she was "virtually gang-raped" in Facebook's Metaverse. Writing in a Medium post, Nina Jane Patel described the incident as a "nightmare."
She said: "Within 60 seconds of joining—I was verbally and sexually harassed—3-4 male avatars, with male voices, essentially, but virtually gang-raped my avatar and took photos."
The 43-year-old London-based mother added: "As I tried to get away, they yelled, 'Don't pretend you didn't love it' and 'Go rub yourself off to the photo.'"
In response, a spokesperson for Meta told Vice News: "We want everyone in Horizon Venues to have a positive experience, easily find the safety tools that can help in a situation like this—and help us investigate and take action."
