AlphaTON Connects Conventional Finance with Blockchain through Telegram’s Platform

AlphaTON Capital Corp., a digital asset treasury company listed on Nasdaq, has completed a $30 million

token acquisition after securing $71 million in new funding, making it one of the largest institutional holders of the token. The capital raise, which included a $36.2 million private share placement and a $35 million loan from BitGo Prime, will allow AlphaTON to grow its TON holdings to $100 million by the end of 2025. This initiative supports AlphaTON’s objective to utilize Telegram’s vast user base to advance blockchain infrastructure and foster decentralized application (dApp) innovation.

The funding arrangement involved issuing 6.32 million ordinary shares at $5.73 per share, along with a secured loan. The funds were promptly used to purchase TON tokens, with the company reaffirming its dedication to staking, network validation, and investing in the ecosystem. CEO Brittany Kaiser remarked that this effort demonstrates AlphaTON’s mission to “enable billions to control their digital identities” and its commitment to building infrastructure for Telegram’s mini app ecosystem.

AlphaTON’s growth is supported by strategic alliances with major industry players such as BitGo, Animoca Brands, Kraken, and SkyBridge Capital. The company also works with advisors like Anthony Scaramucci and Jaime Rogozinski to enhance its institutional strategy. These partnerships are intended to speed up integration with Telegram’s app ecosystem, including DeFi solutions and gaming applications.

The company’s plans include launching staking services to earn returns, validating the TON network, and seeking out promising projects within Telegram’s ecosystem. AlphaTON intends to regularly update shareholders on treasury results and ecosystem progress to maintain transparency. Executive Chairman Enzo Villani emphasized the opportunity for

to “connect traditional finance with blockchain innovation,” making use of Telegram’s user reach for scalable dApp launches.

Market observers point out that AlphaTON’s treasury approach is in line with a wider trend of institutional interest in TON. For example, Verb Technology recently revealed it holds $713 million in TON, highlighting growing trust in the token as a link between social platforms and blockchain. AlphaTON’s $100 million TON reserve goal by 2025 signals its intent to benefit from Telegram’s user growth and the TON blockchain’s integration with the messaging service.

The announcement further outlines AlphaTON’s operational priorities, which include generating returns through staking and validation, as well as supporting ecosystem development. The company’s treasury plan aims to create steady revenue streams while backing projects that strengthen Telegram’s app economy. With its transition from Portage Biotech and a new ticker symbol, ATON, AlphaTON is positioning itself as a pioneer in merging public market access with decentralized technology.
