Pavel Durov broke the silence
Pavel Durov reported that a huge number of users are registered in Telegram every day – in fact, more than 2.5 million people daily.
Every day, more than 2.5 million new users sign up for Telegram, and earlier this year we surpassed 800 million monthly active users. We are happy and grateful, although this massive growth also means higher storage and bandwidth costs to serve our users. Luckily, Telegram is very efficient when it comes to spending, and we had a great start to monetization last year.

However, he added the following:Telegram is closer to profitability in absolute terms than its competitors such as Twitter and Snap.
