TON Strategy Company (TONX) has announced a significant repurchase of over 250,000 shares of its common stock at $8.32 per share. This price is considerably lower than the company’s stated treasury asset value (TAV) of $12.18. This initiative is part of a larger $250 million buyback program aimed at strengthening the company’s financial position and shareholder value.
In a notable strategic shift, TONX is positioning toncoin (TON) as its primary treasury asset, currently valued at $3.24. The company also disclosed plans to begin staking its TON holdings, which are intended to generate rewards by securing blockchain networks. This move aims to utilize idle treasury assets more effectively, potentially generating an annual yield of approximately $34 million if the entire treasury of 217.5 million TON tokens is staked. Current yield estimates from StakingRewards indicate that returns could reach as high as 4.8%.
Despite this proactive strategy, TONX’s shares have experienced a downturn, plunging more than 43% over the past 30 days. The stock faced a notable 9.2% decline during Friday’s trading session; however, after-hours trading saw a rebound with shares rising by 3.7%. This volatility highlights the mixed market response to the company’s strategic maneuvers and overall performance in a challenging economic environment.
