LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AI--Verb Technology Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: VERB) (to be renamed Ton Strategy Company) (the “Company”) today announced treasury assets exceeding $780 million, including $713 million1 of Toncoin ($TON), the native cryptocurrency of The Open Network (“TON”) Blockchain, and $67 million of cash. This is an important milestone in the Company’s implementation of its previously announced $TON treasury strategy.
Today’s news follows the Company’s August 8 closing of a $558 million private placement joined by more than 110 institutional and crypto-native investors. The Company used the majority of proceeds from the private placement to acquire $TON as its primary treasury reserve asset.
"Crossing $780 million in assets just days after our private placement reflects the conviction behind $TON,” said Manuel Stotz, Executive Chairman of the Company. “This is more than building a balance sheet; it’s about contributing to the security of TON blockchain – where participants can build, transact, and benefit directly from the underlying financial protocols.”
The Company’s strategy targets the accumulation of over 5% of $TON’s circulating supply, establishing the Company as a significant participant in maintaining and securing the network infrastructure. In addition, the Company intends to steadily increase $TON held per share through reinvestment of cash flows, staking rewards, and disciplined capital markets activity.
“By becoming the first and largest publicly traded treasury reserve of $TON, VERB is not just holding $TON on its balance sheet – we are helping to strengthen the economic foundation of the network itself,” said Stotz.
$TON is the first crypto asset integrated at scale with a global social platform. Earlier this year, Telegram, the world’s second largest messenger, and TON Foundation announced that TON would become the exclusive blockchain powering Telegram’s Mini App ecosystem. Inside Telegram, TON powers wallets, payments, and many other applications, giving Telegram’s users instant access to everyday utility. Globally, Telegram reports to have over one billion monthly active users.
