AlphaTON Capital raises $71M, builds TON treasury, and targets $100M by 2025, strengthening Telegram’s expanding blockchain ecosystem.
The Telegram ecosystem is moving deeper into digital assets, with AlphaTON Capital announcing a successful $71 million financing round and the acquisition of its first $30 million tranche of TON tokens. The company is now aiming to increase its treasury to $100 million by the end of 2025, making it a significant institutional player in the TON network.
AlphaTON Secures $71M via Equity and Loan Deal
According to a press release, the company raised $36.2 million in the private placement of 6.32 million ordinary shares at $5.73 per share. It also received a $35 million loan facility from BitGo Prime. AlphaTON is also one of the largest institutional holders of TON due to the combined financings that enabled the company to form its first significant TON reserve. It was noted that this step provides a direct exposure of the Telegram billion user ecosystem to its shareholders.

This development comes amidst a general movement in the Telegram-associated blockchain space. At an earlier point in the weekend, Nasdaq-listed Verb Technology said it was to rebrand TON Strategy Co. and become the first public company to use Toncoin as a treasury reserve. Kingsway Capital led a $558 million private fundraising. More than 110 investors, including institutions and crypto funds, also participated.
Taken together, these developments signal growing interest in TON as an application base layer and means of payment. AlphaTON Capital highlighted its partners, including BitGo, Animoca Brands, Kraken, and others. Moreover, it received legal support from top advisory firms.
TON Treasury Growth Linked to Long-Term Yield Generation
Chief Executive Officer, Brittany Kaiser, referred to the financing as a landmark event, in which she said that it was not just about treasury expansion but also invested in infrastructure that could empower billions of Telegram users. She said the firm’s holdings and staking/network validation would accelerate dapp development.
Executive Chairman Enzo Villani stated that AlphaTON is well-positioned to benefit from the growing convergence of social media and blockchain. Furthermore, he emphasized that this trend represents the most significant shift in digital innovation. As a result, AlphaTON expects to capture strong opportunities in this evolving space.
The company is confident that its growing TON treasury will generate long-term returns through staking, yield generation, and participation in Telegram’s growing mini app ecosystem. Analysts believe that such initiatives could open new avenues for user adoption, as TON is trying to bring blockchain to everyday communications and services.
Looking into the future, AlphaTON Capital has set a goal of growing its treasury to $100 million by the end of 2025, which indicates a high level of trust in TON’s prospects. With a significant support base, strong connections with key financial players, and a strategic alignment with Telegram’s global footprint, the company is trying to establish itself as a strategic leader in the ecosystem for the long term. The success of this approach will rely on adoption, regulatory clarity and the possibility to bridge digital assets to mainstream platforms at scale.
