✅ $540M Net Profit Milestone in 2024
Telegram has just posted its biggest financial milestone yet — a whopping $540 million in profit for 2024, according to the Financial Times. The messaging giant also saw revenues surge to $1.4 billion, a 3x increase year-over-year.
➡️ Revenue Breakdown:
$250M from advertising
$292M from premium subscriptions
~$700M from TON-based ecosystem tools like mini-apps and Toncoin payments
This explosive growth positions Telegram for a major financial pivot: the company is reportedly seeking to issue $1.5 billion in bonds to refinance old debt and potentially prepare for a future IPO.
⚡ xAI Partnership: Grok Chatbot Coming to Telegram
In a surprise move, Telegram has also teamed up with Elon Musk’s AI firm xAI to integrate the Grok chatbot directly into its platform. This integration brings cutting-edge conversational AI to over 900 million Telegram users, potentially reshaping how users interact with bots, channels, and services on the app.
🔍 Regulatory Clouds Over Durov
Despite the financial success, founder Pavel Durov remains under investigation in France for allegedly not cracking down on illicit content. He called the probe a “geopolitical attack,” dismissing it as politically motivated.
⏳ What’s Next for Telegram?
$2B revenue target for 2025
$720M profit goal
Increased focus on blockchain monetization via TON
Expansion into AI through Grok and xAI partnership
Telegram is no longer just a messaging app — it's becoming a tech super-app bridging Web3, AI, and social networking at scale.
