🟡 Pavel Drurov, founder of Telegram, says:

🚀 A historic event for the world of TON

📌 Verb Technology (VERB) has become the first publicly traded US company to directly invest in Toncoin, allocating $558 million solely for purchases – with no intention of selling, but rather continuing to buy over time.

📈 On the first day of trading after the announcement, VERB's stock more than doubled, bringing its market cap above $1 billion.

💼 Prominent investors include Kingsway, Vy Capital, Ribbit, and several new major institutions.

🪙 Today, TON is the backbone of the Telegram economy:

Payments and advertising

Supporting creators and developers

Mini apps

Digital collectibles (usernames, tokens, gifts) $TON

🔥The TON network is now the second largest blockchain in NFT trading volume after Ethereum.

🏦 The company will change its name to TON Strategy, adopting a MicroStrategy-like approach to Bitcoin, having invested just half a billion dollars initially.
