AlphaTON Capital to Build $100M Toncoin Treasury, Names Scaramucci as Advisor
Nasdaq-listed AlphaTON Capital Corp., formerly Portage Biotech, has unveiled a new digital asset treasury strategy centered on Telegram’s Toncoin ecosystem.
The firm plans to acquire about $100 million worth of TON tokens, funded through a $38.2 million private placement and a $35 million loan facility from Bitgo Prime. Trading under its new ticker “ATON” from September 4, AlphaTON also appointed Brittany Kaiser as CEO and Anthony Scaramucci as advisor, signaling its pivot into blockchain and decentralized applications.
The company aims to leverage Telegram’s billion-plus users to support TON-based DeFi, gaming, and staking initiatives while bridging traditional finance with digital asset infrastructure. Leadership says the goal is to position TON as a top-ten blockchain by 2026, backed by partnerships with Animoca Brands, Kraken, and DWF Labs.
