Each Telegram user costs the messenger $0.7 per year, said Pavel Durov. Every year, about €630 million is required to maintain operations. This is almost 62,391,000,000 rubles.
Moreover, Durov’s team has only 50 people. If Telegram manages to achieve self-sufficiency, then an initial public offering (IPO) may take place.
Durov believes that this will happen in 2025, “if not this year.” There are offers from potential investors worth more than $30 billion, but the sale of Telegram is excluded:
The main reason we started monetizing is because we wanted to remain independent. We see value [in the IPO] as a means of democratizing access to Telegram's value.
