AlphaTON Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: ATON), a leading digital asset technology company focused on the Telegram and TON ecosystem, today announced its strategic interest in acquiring Telegram Bonds for its corporate treasury. The company has active bids in the bond markets and private markets. The investment provides AlphaTON with direct exposure to Telegram’s rapidly growing revenue base while generating an attractive 9% annual yield. AlphaTON will utilize cash and equity for the consideration.
This marks a significant milestone for AlphaTON as the company deepens its strategic positioning within the Telegram ecosystem. With Telegram reporting approximately $2 billion in annual revenues and an additional $1 billion generated through its flourishing mini-app ecosystem, the company is on track to achieve $3 billion in total projected revenues for 2025.
“As a Telegram-focused technology company, having direct exposure to Telegram itself through these bonds represents a natural evolution of our treasury strategy,” said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital. “Telegram is not just a messaging platform – it’s becoming the world’s leading ethical super-app, powering everything from privacy-centric AI infrastructure through partners like Cocoon AI to on-chain gaming, DeFi, and commerce through its Web3-enabled mini-app ecosystem. This investment allows us to participate directly in Telegram’s extraordinary growth trajectory while earning attractive yields for our shareholders.”
Yury Mitin, Chief Business Development Officer commented, “The acquisition strengthens AlphaTON’s comprehensive exposure across the entire Telegram and TON ecosystem. Beyond its substantial TON token holdings, the company has announced plans for strategic investments in critical infrastructure including Cocoon AI’s GPU network, as well as exposure to the rapidly expanding universe of mini-applications spanning gaming, decentralized finance, payments, and social commerce built on Telegram’s platform.”
With over one billion monthly active users and accelerating monetization through premium subscriptions and its mini-app platform, Telegram has established itself as one of the world’s most valuable technology platforms, whilst remaining the most ethical. The mini-app ecosystem alone has demonstrated explosive growth, enabling developers to build and monetize applications directly within Telegram’s interface, creating a new paradigm for mobile commerce and digital services.
“This acquisition exemplifies our thesis that the Telegram ecosystem represents the most significant opportunity in technology and digital assets today,” commented Enzo Villani, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, “From the protocol layer with TON, to privacy-centric AI infrastructure with Cocoon, to consumer applications reaching hundreds of millions of users daily, we are building concentrated exposure to what we believe will be the dominant digital ecosystem of the next decade.”
The Telegram Bonds will be held on AlphaTON’s balance sheet as a strategic treasury asset, complementing the company’s existing digital asset holdings and generating steady yield income.
