AlphaTON Capital has No Equity Line Financing with ATW Partners or any other provider. ATW Partners is not an investor whatsoever. AlphaTON Capital has never drawn down the entire Bitgo facility and has continued to manage leverage at 7% Debt to Equity Ratio.

New York, NY, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTON Capital Corp. (Nasdaq: ATON) (“AlphaTON” or the “Company”), a specialized digital asset technology company focused on the Telegram ecosystem, today issued a comprehensive update to shareholders regarding its balance sheet composition and strategic initiatives executed since the closing of its PIPE funding on September 25, 2025.

The Company has aggressively deployed capital into high-conviction assets, establishing a robust foundation for long-term growth through a three-pillar strategy: 

1. Treasury Accumulation
2. Network Yield Generation
3. Ecosystem Venture Building

“In less than sixty days since our financing closed, we have successfully transformed our balance sheet from cash to a diversified portfolio of productive digital assets,” said Brittany Kaiser, Chief Executive Officer of AlphaTON Capital. “We are not merely holding tokens; we are actively putting our capital to work. By staking a significant portion of our treasury and securing key infrastructure partnerships, we are building an institutional-grade vehicle that offers shareholders direct exposure to the rapid growth of the Telegram ecosystem. Our speed of execution demonstrates our commitment to becoming the definitive bridge between Wall Street and the billion-user Telegram economy.”

Strategic Initiatives Driving Long-Term Value

In addition to asset accumulation, the Company has launched several initiatives designed to attract long-term institutional capital:

• Global Investor Awareness: Launch of the "AlphaTON World Tour," commencing at the Nasdaq MarketSite, to educate institutional investors on the convergence of social media (Telegram) and decentralized finance (TON). 
• The "Berkshire of Telegram" Model: Transitioning from a passive holding company to an active operator that incubates, accelerates, and acquires cash-flowing businesses within the Telegram Mini-App economy.
• Legacy Asset Management through AlphaTON Health division: Continued oversight of legacy biotech assets (formerly Portage Biotech) with a dedicated allocation of ~$4 million, preserving potential upside from non-core holdings and developing new applications for the biotech industry and healthcare sectors.

“Our strategy is to capture value at every layer of the stack—from the base layer protocol tokens to the consumer-facing applications,” commented Enzo Villani, Executive Chairman and Chief Investment Officer. “The assets we have listed today represent just the beginning. By integrating payment rails like Mastercard with AI agents and gaming platforms, we are creating a flywheel effect where our treasury assets support our operating companies, and our operating companies drive demand for our treasury assets. We believe this closed-loop ecosystem is what will differentiate ATON as a blue-chip holding in the digital asset space.”
