Ownership

Mapy.com is run by Seznam.cz, a.s. in Prague, which at 31 December 2025 was wholly owned by Masaryk Holding AG of Zug, Switzerland. Masaryk Holding took over the stake in 2025 from Helifreak Limited of Cyprus, which had become sole shareholder after Seznam bought back and cancelled the 30% held by Tiger Holding Four and Miura International in 2016 and 2017. Seznam's report on relations for 2025 names its founder Ivo Lukačovič, resident in Prague, as the controlling person, with 100% of the voting rights in Masaryk Holding AG since 25 June 2025.
