AlphaTON Capital raises $100 million to build TON digital asset treasury

Published 03/09/2025, 17:40

AlphaTON Capital Corp, formerly Portage Biotech Inc. (PRTG), announced plans to acquire approximately $100 million in TON tokens and establish a digital asset treasury focused on Telegram’s blockchain ecosystem. The company will begin trading under the ticker "ATON" effective September 4, 2025.

The company appointed Brittany Kaiser as Chief Executive Officer and Board Member. Kaiser previously served as a director at Gryphon Digital Mining (GRYP) and was a former executive at Cambridge Analytica. Enzo Villani, founder of Alpha Transform Holdings, will join as Executive Chairman and Chief Investment Officer.

AlphaTON Capital entered securities purchase agreements for a private placement of approximately 6.7 million ordinary shares at $5.73 per share, expecting gross proceeds of about $38.2 million before fees. The private placement is scheduled to close around September 5, 2025.

The company also secured a loan facility with BitGo Prime, LLC for up to $35 million. The loan will be disbursed at the private placement closing to purchase TON tokens and will be collateralized by TON holdings managed by BitGo or an affiliated entity.

Chardan serves as placement agent for the private placement. Multiple law firms provided legal counsel, including Hogan Lovells US LLP for the company and Lucosky Brookman LLP for Chardan.

AlphaTON Capital’s strategy includes three components: acquiring TON tokens through volume purchases, implementing yield generation through network validation and staking operations, and developing projects within Telegram’s mini app ecosystem.

The company noted that digital asset investments involve risks including market volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and technological challenges. The securities in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold except under specific exemptions or registration.
