- Nasdaq ticker changes from PRTG to ATON, marking a new identity in digital asset finance.
AlphaTON Capital has entered the market with a strategy built around Toncoin and Telegram’s fast-growing ecosystem. The company, formerly known as Portage Biotech, now trades under the new Nasdaq ticker ATON.
At the same time, it announced a financing package of nearly one hundred million dollars to acquire TON tokens. The company aims to establish itself as a dedicated digital asset treasury firm. Its plan focuses on buying TON, running validator operations, and investing in projects that operate inside Telegram’s network.
Telegram has over a billion monthly customers. This customer base offers AlphaTON an unprecedented platform for directly connecting the investors in the public market with the decentralized applications that are embedded in the messaging platform.
AlphaTON Strengthens Leadership with New Appointments
We have named Brittany Kaiser as Board Member and Chief Executive Officer. She is known globally for her advocacy on data rights, blockchains, and digital innovation. She has leadership with experience in the private sector as well as the public sector.
Brittany Kaiser has led international institutions, counseled governments, and developed initiatives for responsible digital expansion. Kaiser also sits on the board of Gryphon Digital Mining, recently consolidated with American Bitcoin Corp. This provides yet another area of expertise in blockchain finance.
Her hiring is an indication that AlphaTON has aspirations to merge equity market access with mass acceptance of digital assets. She will also be accompanied by Enzo Villani who will act as Executive Chairman and Chief Investment Officer. His finance and corporate strategy background adds further heft to the company leadership profile.
AlphaTON Capital Builds Strategy on TON Blockchain
AlphaTON Capital’s strategy has three legs. Firstly, the firm will buy up and hold a huge stash of TON tokens. Secondly, it will employ staking and validation to create natural income on the back of the TON blockchain. Thirdly, the firm will finance new Telegram applications, including finance tools, gaming platforms, and productivity services.
The integration of blockchain within Telegram gives users access to decentralized apps without the need for extra downloads or complicated processes. This feature is expected to accelerate adoption. With this approach, AlphaTON blends predictable yield from treasury operations with long-term growth from ecosystem expansion.
The company has raised money through private placement and loan facility in order to fund its initial TON acquisitions. Such money strengthens its ability to execute its strategy and provide its shareholders with access to one of the most rapidly growing sectors in digital assets.
AlphaTON’s launch is more than just a company rebrand. It stands at the nexus between social media, blockchain technology, and financial markets. With robust leadership, institutional relations, and direct access to the enormous audience base on Telegram, AlphaTON is embarked on forging the next era in decentralized digital finance.
