That looks like a completely unreliable source. Eightify is an "AI YouTube Summary with ChatGPT" tool, and it has published about 5000 articles in /media in the past few weeks, so I bet they're also AI-generated and therefore garbage. The "resources" it cites are largely irrelevant - perhaps it picked them up because they mention e.g. "growing discord between China and the United States" and it's too dumb to realise that's not about Discord.
They probably got the number from https://youtu.be/uvNkdAggUGU?t=555 (linked further down the page in what's presented as a separate article), but that video cites no source, and its fearmongering tone doesn't engender much trust in its accuracy. Maybe the video's author read something like https://seekingalpha.com/article/4371548-tencents-dreams-... which says Tencent owns 38% of DouYu (a Chinese video streaming service) and "~2%" of Discord, and got the numbers mixed up because they both start with D, or something. (That article also cites no source, though at least I think it was written by a human). I can't find any more reliable sources for the 38%.
Since Discord is a private company, it doesn't have to disclose who its investors are, and it has chosen not to, so I wouldn't believe any number you read on the internet. (And especially not any from AI-generated articles.)
