AlphaTON Capital, newly rebranded from Portage Biotch (PRTG), said it will purchase about $100 million worth of Toncoin (TON) to build a digital-asset treasury business focused on the TON ecosystem.
The company will begin trading under the ticker ATON on Sept. 4. Its shares, still listed as PRTG, rose 14% to $7.91 following the announcement.
<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/09/03/3143710/0/en/AlphaTON-Capital-Corp-Launches-TON-Digital-Asset-Treasury-Strategy-for-the-Telegram-Ecosystem.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">According</a> to the company, AlphaTON will manage TON network infrastructure, incubate applications tied to Telegram’s ecosystem, and pursue staking rewards on TON.
To fund the program, AlphaTON secured $38.2 million via a private placement and arranged a $35 million loan facility with BitGo, collateralized by TON and due in six months. The firm also appointed Brittany Kaiser as CEO, with Enzo Villani serving as executive chairman.
AlphaTON framed the move as creating a listed vehicle that gives investors indirect exposure to TON while the firm builds positions and deploys capital into ecosystem services.
The strategy combines an operating plan, running infrastructure and incubating apps, with a balance-sheet approach that targets yield from staking.
Context: TON has gained attention through its integration with Telegram’s user base and a growing set of apps and mini-apps. A treasury-style buyer of size can influence near-term liquidity conditions, though the long-term impact depends on deployment pace, custody, and hedging.

After a decline into late August, <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/the-open-network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TON</a> carved a base between $3.05–$3.12 and has been printing higher lows since Aug. 31. Price is now probing overhead resistance near $3.20–$3.22.
Immediate support sits at $3.15–$3.12; a deeper support band appears at $3.08–$3.05.
A break and close above $3.22 would open room toward $3.25 and $3.30. Failure at resistance with a close back below $3.12 risks a revisit of $3.05; a loss of $3.05 exposes the $3.00–$2.98 area.
The sequence of higher lows suggests bullish momentum building, but the market still needs a clean breakout through the $3.20s to confirm. Consolidation just below resistance increases the odds of a test higher; repeated rejections would favor a range fade back to $3.12–$3.08.
<h3 id="trading-takeaway">Trading takeaway:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Bullish bias above $3.15, targeting $3.22 → $3.25/$3.30, invalidation on an hourly close below $3.12.</li>
 <li>Caution if price slips under $3.05, which would negate the recent higher-low structure and put $3.00 in play.</li>
