owns 25.6% of all shares
Prosus/Naspers no longer owns 25.6% of Tencent. Tencent’s own filings show the stake was 24.01% at the end of 2024 and 22.80% at the end of 2025.
Full reasoning
Tencent’s own annual reports contradict this percentage.
- Tencent’s 2024 Annual Report says MIH Internet Holdings B.V. — the vehicle controlled by Naspers through Prosus — held 2,214,863,800 shares, or 24.01% of Tencent as of 31 December 2024.
- Tencent’s 2025 Annual Report says the same shareholder held 2,079,512,000 shares, or 22.80% as of 31 December 2025.
So the article’s present-tense claim that Prosus/Naspers "owns 25.6% of all shares" is outdated and incorrect. The current stake is materially lower than 25.6%.

Universal Music Group (20%)
Tencent does not currently hold 20% of Universal Music Group. UMG’s investor relations page lists Tencent Holdings Limited at 11.45% capital interest.
Full reasoning
This bullet is outdated.
Universal Music Group’s official Major Shareholders page lists Tencent Holdings Limited at 11.45% capital interest (notification date 2025-05-21), not 20%.
Tencent’s own investor news archive helps explain the confusion: in January 2021 Tencent said a Tencent-led consortium had completed an exercise of a call option and now owned 20% share capital in Universal Music Group. That historical 20% consortium figure is not the same as Tencent’s current direct holding shown by UMG’s latest shareholder disclosures.
So the current claim "Universal Music Group (20%)" is inaccurate.

the second quarter 2016 financial report
This should be 2017, not 2016. Tencent’s official investor materials show it announced its 2017 second-quarter and interim results on August 16, 2017.
Full reasoning
The year is wrong here.
Tencent’s official investor releases list "2017.08.16 Tencent Announces 2017 Second Quarter and Interim Results". The corresponding official results release also says Tencent announced the unaudited consolidated results for the second quarter ("2Q2017") and first half of 2017 ended June 30, 2017.
So an August 2017 stock move would have followed Tencent’s 2017 second-quarter results, not a 2016 second-quarter financial report.

Naspers (25.65%; since 2019 through Prosus)
This ownership percentage is outdated. Tencent’s filings show the Naspers/Prosus vehicle held 24.01% at the end of 2024 and 22.80% at the end of 2025, not 25.65%.
Full reasoning
Tencent’s own shareholder disclosures show that this infobox percentage is no longer accurate.
- In Tencent’s 2024 Annual Report, MIH Internet Holdings B.V. — controlled by Naspers through Prosus — held 24.01% of Tencent.
- In Tencent’s 2025 Annual Report, that holding had fallen further to 22.80%.
So the infobox line "Naspers (25.65%; since 2019 through Prosus)" is stale and incorrect as a current ownership figure.

Tencent is currently the largest stakeholder in DouYu with a 37% stake.
Tencent’s stake in DouYu is not 37% in the latest filing. DouYu’s 2025 annual report says Tencent held about 40.0% of DouYu’s outstanding ordinary shares as of March 31, 2026.
Full reasoning
The percentage in this sentence is outdated.
DouYu’s latest annual report filed with the SEC states that as of March 31, 2026, Tencent held approximately 40.0% of DouYu’s total outstanding ordinary shares, representing 40.0% of total voting power.
That means the article’s present-tense claim of a 37% stake is incorrect based on the company’s current filing.
