Tencent Holdings, also known as Tencent, is a publicly owned corporation headquartered in China. Founded in 1998 with an estimated 107,690 employees, the company reported $101.9B in revenue as of 2025. Tencent specializes in software development and internet value-added services, including e-commerce, online advertising, online games, and social networking. It operates WeChat, a social media super app, and functions as a venture capital and investing firm.
On July 10, Tencent entered discussions to become the largest shareholder in artificial intelligence (AI) startup Manus, following Chinese regulators' order for Meta to reverse its $2 billion acquisition of the company. Tencent is reportedly in talks to lead a new deal for Manus at the same valuation. Earlier the same day, a report highlighted that Tencent, along with other Chinese tech giants, accesses American AI technology through Singapore. The city-state operates outside the geographic scope of US export controls targeting Mainland China, positioning it as a pivotal node for accessing otherwise restricted frontier American AI models. Also on July 10, Tencent announced "Worlds of Play: The Game Art Exhibition," a global art exhibition co-hosted with game studios, scheduled for gamescom 2026 in Cologne from August 27 to 29. This follows news from early July 10, when select users of Tencent's WeChat messaging and services app observed the arrival of its long-awaited artificial intelligence (AI) agent, indicated by two green dots.
