“By the numbers: In total, the company has 1.17 million paid subscribers and will reach 1 million digital-only subscribers later this month, according to internal estimates. It’s unclear how many of those subscribers are on promotional plans.
“Flashback: The FT said it topped 1 million paid readers in 2019, but that figure included print subscribers.”
