No one loves Twitter more than Jack Dorsey loves Twitter. The Mika Muroi Archivescofounder and CEO of the news app is spreading the love this Valentine's Day -- to his own company.

Dorsey revealed, in a tweet linking to a form to the Securities and Exchange Commission, that he bought 425,998 shares of Twitter stock, over Monday and Tuesday. Dorsey now owns 15,468,426 shares in total.

The gift comes as Twitter's continues to hover at under $17 per share, far under its peak of $69 and it's opening price of $42. It still hasn't hit the all-time low of $13.90, however.

The company's reputation for stagnant user growth and slow revenue persisted last year. It was also wooed by Google, Salesforce and Walt Disney, which turned into failed acquisition attempts.

It's also quite lonely in Twitter's C-suite. Adam Bain, formerly chief operating officer, and Adam Messinger, formerly chief technology officer, left the company last year and the positions haven't been filled.

And 2017 didn't start off bright.

Twitter reported last week that its net loss grew to $167.1 million from $90.24 million a year prior.
