Highlights:

• TON Strategy repurchased 250,000 shares at $8.32 each, which is below the treasury asset value of $12.18.
• TON Strategy launches staking of Toncoin holdings to secure yield and add recurring on-chain income.
• The Toncoin price has dropped this year, which has weighed on both the token and the company’s performance.

TON Strategy Company, formerly known as Verb Technology Company, has repurchased 250,000 shares of its common stock under its $250 million buyback program. The company executed the transactions at an average price of $8.32. Moreover, this price is below its Treasury asset value of $12.18 per share as of September 11, 2025.

The buyback initiative, which began on September 8, 2025, is designed to reduce the number of outstanding shares. It also seeks to boost long-term shareholder value. TON Strategy appointed Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as a non-exclusive agent to manage the program. The plan allows for open-market purchases as well as other approved methods.

Despite the strategic intent, shares of TON Strategy declined 7.24% on the day of the announcement. The company’s stock has already fallen 21.6% this year. The decline began after it adopted Toncoin as a treasury reserve. Executives, however, stressed that repurchasing stock below Treasury Asset Value enhances value per share and reflects confidence in the company’s strategy.

The repurchase follows soon after the company announced a reserve of $713 million worth of Toncoin, making it the first publicly traded company to create a Toncoin treasury. The management pointed out that the repurchase is in line with consolidating the balance sheet. It also supports developing a long-term growth platform.

TON Strategy Launches Staking of Toncoin Holdings

TON Strategy also confirmed it has begun staking its Toncoin holdings to generate recurring on-chain income. Staking involves locking up cryptocurrency to support a network’s security and operations, in exchange for earning additional tokens as rewards. “Staking introduces a recurring revenue stream into our model, while buybacks allow us to enhance shareholder returns,” CEO Veronika Kapustina said in a statement.

Data from Staking Rewards indicates that more than 340 validators are active on the TON network. The network currently offers an annual reward rate of about 4.8%. According to the executives, staking its holdings means that the company not only obtains a yield but also contributes to the safety of the network. The stake decision comes in the aftermath of the drastic fall of Toncoin this year. The token, ranked 22nd in global market capitalization, has dropped 40.7% year-to-date and is currently priced at $3.24.

Toncoin is also listed on platforms like Gemini, Robinhood, and Zengo, making it accessible to more markets, although it is currently experiencing price weakness. The TON Strategy plans to retain funds to continue its accumulation. Furthermore, it will create value by using two lines of action that include repurchases and stakes.

Strategic Vision for Long-Term Shareholder Value

According to executives, the company is pursuing a disciplined capital allocation policy that is meant to help it pay its shareholders and increase its treasury assets. CEO Kapustina explained that the distinct combination of buybacks and staking is in line with the mission of the company to consolidate its financial stance and expand Toncoin.

Executive Chairman Manuel Stotz said that these measures are part of a long-term compound value strategy. The company also pointed to its recent Nasdaq rebranding under the ticker TONX as part of its broader transformation. Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that the TON Foundation and Kingsway Capital Partners were seeking to raise at least $400 million to establish a Toncoin treasury company.
