Tencent

Tencent operates a diversified platform business model built around large consumer internet ecosystems and supporting B2B infrastructure. It develops and publishes online and mobile games, operates messaging and social platforms that embed payments and third‑party mini‑applications, and runs video and music streaming services. These consumer platforms generate demand for fintech services, marketing inventory and cloud and infrastructure services.

Revenue is created by monetising user engagement and transaction flows through game sales and in‑game items, digital content subscriptions, advertising and marketing services, and financial and payment fees. On the B2B side it runs a cloud and enterprise services arm that sells infrastructure, media and AI services to corporate customers, as well as payment acquiring, merchant solutions and other fintech offerings to businesses. Tencent also acquires and invests in game studios and digital content companies to expand its portfolio and secure distribution and licensing income.

Tencent Holdings Limited is a Chinese technology conglomerate headquartered in Hong Kong that operates consumer internet platforms, online games, digital payments, cloud computing and digital media services. Its main business lines are online gaming, fintech and business services, and marketing services, with gaming contributing roughly half of revenue and fintech/cloud and advertising forming the remainder.

The company earns money from game sales and in‑game purchases, payment and financial service fees, cloud infrastructure and platform usage, digital content subscriptions, and advertising and marketing services on its social, video and music properties. Its customers include consumers who pay for games and content, merchants and enterprises using its payment, cloud and fintech services, and advertisers and agencies buying marketing inventory and services across its consumer platforms.
