On May 30, 2025, it became known that the Telegram messenger successfully placed five-year bonds worth $ 1.7 billion with a fixed interest rate of 9% per annum. The maturity date of the new securities is set for June 2030.
More than $ 950 million of the previously issued bonds maturing in March 2026 were reportedly converted into a new issue. Thus, the company not only updated its debt structure, but also significantly strengthened its financial stability.
According to Telegram, the interest from investors exceeded all expectations. Initially, it was planned to attract $ 1.5 billion, but high demand allowed to increase the volume of placement. Despite the expansion of supply, demand continued to significantly exceed available volumes.
The funds raised will ensure timely repayment of the remaining obligations for the 2026 issue. The company's management emphasized that given Telegram's current financial model and growing profitability, the company is confident about the future and has sufficient resources for further development.
