Brian Acton, the creator of WhatsApp, co-founded Signal and loaned them a shit ton of money. "$105,000,400, due to be repaid on February 28, 2068. The loan is unsecured and carries nil interest." He's still Executive Chairman.

Its unsecured with nil interest. I doubt they're expected to pay it off.
