Alphaton Files $420.69m Registration as Tiny Ton Treasury Eyes AI Push

2025/12/06 10:50

Small-cap publicly traded firm AlphaTON Capital has signaled ambitions to access a substantially larger fundraising capacity as it delves deeper into the artificial intelligence and Telegram ecosystem. 

The company has exited the SEC’s “baby-shelf” limitations and filed a $420.69 million shelf registration, a precise figure often referenced in crypto’s meme culture. The rules limit the amount of capital that very small public companies can raise through a shelf registration. This aims to prevent tiny issuers from flooding the market with stock and heavily diluting investors.

According to Google Finance data, AlphaTON capital stock, ATON, suffered significant losses in the last month. The stock dropped from $4.75 on Nov. 5 to $1.71 at the time of writing. This marked a 64% drop in a single month. 

At the time of writing, the company has a market capitalization of $13 million and an average volume of $1.55 million. However, the company holds over 12.8 million Toncoin (TON) tokens, worth about $20.5 million, according to CoinGecko.

Small company with big fundraising ambitions

AlphaTON’s filing stands out because the company remains a tiny public issuer with a relatively limited float. Still, it’s positioning itself to raise more than $420 million, a figure more commonly seen with mid-cap tech companies rather than nano- to micro-cap blockchain treasuries. 

While exiting baby-shelf limits allows it to legally pursue much larger offerings, this does not guarantee execution. Raising such an amount would likely require sustained demand or institutional interest. 

If the company manages to raise its capital from the program, it said it will direct funds toward scaling GPU infrastructure for Telegram’s Cocoom AI network and pursuing acquisitions of revenue-generating Telegram ecosystem applications. It also said that it would purchase additional TON tokens for its treasury. 

For shareholders, the obvious upside is that a successful raise could accelerate the company’s push into TON-aligned AI infrastructure. Even the announcement itself was followed by a brief increase in the company’s shares. 

According to Google Finance, ATON stock rose from a low of $1.49 on Thursday to its $1.71 price a day after the announcement. This marked a 14.7% increase following the company’s announcement of its ambitions.

DATs lose momentum in November

The timing of AlphaTON’s push for a large capital program coincides with the digital asset treasury (DAT) sector’s recent loss of momentum. 

Corporate crypto balance-sheet allocations saw their weakest month of 2025 in November, with inflows dropping to $1.32 billion. Bitcoin (BTC) treasuries dominated inflows during the month, but many Ether (ETH)-linked DATs slipped into outflows.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
