Người sáng lập Telegram làm rõ: Giao dịch phát hành trái phiếu trị giá 1,7 tỷ USD mới nhất hoàn toàn độc lập, không liên quan đến vốn của Nga

【Chain Article】Telegram founder Pavel Durov recently published a statement responding to recent doubts. He explicitly pointed out that from the perspective of capital structure, Telegram has no association with Russia whatsoever. The most crucial point is — in the recently completed $1.7 billion bond financing, there was no participation from Russian investors.

Regarding bonds issued earlier in 2021, Durov stated that they have been basically paid off with no issues remaining. He particularly emphasized a frequently confused point: bond holders and shareholders are two different concepts. Currently, Telegram’s sole shareholder remains himself.

It is worth noting that earlier reports claimed Telegram’s $500 million bond in Russia was frozen due to Western sanctions impact. Durov’s recent statement is essentially clarifying Telegram as a platform’s financing independence and the stability of its core equity structure. This is a critical clarification for the Web3 community and users who rely on the Telegram ecosystem.
