You Won’t Believe What $558 Million and Telegram Can Do: Verb’s Wondrous Metamorphosis

by

Permit me, dear reader, to paint for you a little tableau: Verb Technology, as if struck by the wand of some digital Prospero, prepares to slough off its homely corporate pelt and, abracadabra, emerge reborn as TON Strategy Co. Shaken and stirred by a $558 million cocktail-oversubscribed, naturally, because exclusivity is the new black-they seek not just fortune, but the dubious honor of being the first publicly listed hoarder of toncoin. Telegram’s ecosystem, that teeming Leviathan of crypto-chatter, now beckons, scapular in hand, for Verb to assume its station among the institutional TON gentry. 🍸💸

Verb Slips Into Something More Comfortable: TON Strategy Company and $558 Million in Sizzling PIPE

Verb Technology Company Inc. (Nasdaq: VERB)-yes, that Verb, the one formerly mistaken for a grammar lesson-wafted forth an announcement most resplendent: a private placement, no less, of roughly $558 million. Oversubscribed, of course, by more than just those with loose change. This dazzling transaction signals a volte-face in strategy-crypto treasury management, since nothing says “future-proof” like betting the farm on volatilized digital ether. As the icing on this blockchain cake, Verb shall henceforth be known as TON Strategy Co. (TSC), vowing to cradle toncoin as its primary reserve asset. Yes, primary. Let that sink in with the weight of a loaded wallet.

Now, the deal is priced at $9.51 per share, blessed by the invisible hands of over 110 institutional and crypto-native patrons-Kingsway Capital at the vanguard, with the likes of Vy Capital, Blockchain.com, Ribbit Capital, and Graticule (GAMA) providing the sort of collegial fist bumps seen at exclusive hedge fund soirées.

And lo, Manuel Stotz, soon-to-be Executive Chairman (add to that: man with a pocketful of soundbites), proclaims with all the oracular flair modern business permits: “Telegram is the preferred messenger for the globe’s crypto-obsessed, TON its sun and currency.” Permanent capital vehicles, he opines, are “particularly suitable” for such tokens-sort of like saying a swimming pool is “particularly suitable” for water. 🏊‍♂️

The millions coughed up will be channeled (not down a wishing well, but) directly into acquiring toncoin, thus hoisting TSC aloft among TON’s most corpulent global coin-custodians. The master plan: staking rewards galore, supporting what sounds suspiciously like a positive cash-flow treasury (with just a hint of a Ponzi aftertaste), while making sure the “legacy business operations” get their share of leftover breadcrumbs.

With Blockchain.com serving as a strategic co-conspirator and under the robust stewardship of Manuel Stotz-heir to the dual thrones of Kingsway Capital and the TON Foundation-Verb’s gambit is clear: surf Telegram’s web3 tidal wave before it crashes, for in these foamy waters, only the bold, rebranded, and very well-funded survive. 🏄‍♀️✨
