Management Commentary
Executive Chairman Manuel Stotz stated, “TON Strategy is built to hold Toncoin, stake a substantial portion of the position, and increase $TON held per share over time inside a public company structure. 2025 was about getting the strategy in place. We raised capital, built our initial position, and began staking in August, with the fourth quarter representing the first full fiscal period of staking. We believe TON is a differentiated network in its design for real economic activity across payments, digital services, and consumer applications at scale. Our approach is to hold and stake the asset within a public company structure designed to provide transparency and access to that exposure.”
Chief Financial Officer Sarah Olsen added, “Over the past several months, we put in place the custody, validator, reporting, and risk framework needed to support our treasury strategy inside a public company. With that foundation in place, our emphasis is on disciplined treasury management, including staking a substantial portion of our position while preserving appropriate liquidity and financial flexibility.”
CEO Transition Update
As previously announced in January 2026, the Company is conducting a formal search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer as part of a planned leadership transition. The Board remains actively engaged in the process, and Veronika Kapustina continues to serve as our Chief Executive Officer during the transition period.
