Spotify has not publicly released any numbers of that kind. It seems the post is quoting some other article [1] that not only doesn't answer my question but even admits that the given numbers are mere speculation. So there is zero basis for the statement in the post above.
The New York Times seems to claim a 70/30 split [1]. However the devil is in the detail as there are plenty of claims from artists of hundreds of thousands of plays resulting in a few dollars being earned. It may be that the split is correct, but that high profile artists are getting a higher rate per stream?
Others claim Spotify is great for being discovered [2] and that this is where its value lies for them (as artists).
