$BTC Hey guys, take a look—Tencent really went all out this time. It’s a bit too big a move. According to Tencent’s Q2 2026 financial report, its quarterly capital expenditures have surged to RMB 52.8 billion, turning quarterly free cash flow straight into the red at negative RMB 13.8 billion. Ma Huateng has also publicly said Tencent will build a brand-new, AI-enabled Tencent.
Honestly, this isn’t “steady development” at all—it’s more like using the whole family’s assets to smash into a new track. The scale of investment far exceeds expectations. In the short term, cash flow has to be propped up first. You can see it putting AI right at the core roadmap—WorkBuddy and Hunyuan Hy3 both have to be built by burning this money. Us old retail investors can’t help but feel uneasy watching it. This bet is on the future, but it can’t withstand the near-term pressure. Who knows whether the core business can hold up against AI’s high ongoing consumption?
