AI summary of the linked article

Telegram's integrated crypto wallet has become its largest revenue source, according to a Financial Times review of a previously private balance sheet for 2022 and 2023. The document shows a total loss of $108 million on revenues of $342.5 million, with crypto making up more than 40% of revenues. The integrated wallet brought in $130 million, while collectibles (NFTs) earned $17.8 million and the revaluation of digital assets $500,000. The article notes that digital assets now exceed the company's cash reserves, and that Telegram's planned IPO is likely on hold after founder Pavel Durov's arrest in France.
