Telegram needs money

Not so long ago, Pavel Durov announced that the messenger is going begin to monetize through advertising.

However, after the cancel of TON, the company had large debts to investors. Until April, Telegram has to pay investors more than half a billion dollars.

Therefore, Telegram attracts a billion dollars through the issue of bonds.

According to the PwC audit, Telegram bears significant financial risks. In 2018, losses amounted to $ 172 million, in 2019 - $ 150 million.

In 2020, the company also had a deficit of 172 million.

By offering to invest in the company's five-year bonds, Telegram openly informs investors about the risks. And it offers various ways of monetization, including advertising in large channels, paid stickers, offers for corporate clients.

Most of the funds in the amount of $ 684 million are needed to pay off debts to investors, and the rest - to continue the company's operations.

The US citizens will not have an opportunity to take part in this investment.
