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.
