1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Business

 

References in this document to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are intended to mean TON Strategy Company, individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

 

Name Change

 

Effective September 2, 2025, we changed our name from Verb Technology Company, Inc. to TON Strategy Company by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Nevada. As a result of the name change, the Company changed its trading symbol on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the Company’s common stock from “VERB” to “TONX,” effective September 2, 2025.

 

TON Strategy Company

 

TON Strategy Company is a digital asset treasury and Web3 ecosystem company focused on supporting The Open Network, a public blockchain originally developed to integrate with Telegram, one of the world’s largest messaging platforms. The Open Network blockchain is designed to process transactions quickly and at scale, enabling a range of decentralized applications and digital services that can be accessed directly through Telegram’s global user base of more than one billion people.

 

The Company’s core business is the management of its corporate treasury holdings of Toncoin (“TON” or “Toncoin”), the native digital asset of the TON blockchain. This includes staking TON, which involves locking up tokens to help secure and validate the network in exchange for staking rewards. Through these activities, the Company seeks to support the TON ecosystem while managing its digital assets in line with applicable regulatory, accounting, and risk-management standards. The Company may also pursue other Web3 initiatives within the TON ecosystem to help promote the network’s long-term growth and adoption.

 

Beginning in August 2025, the Company implemented its TON Treasury Strategy, utilizing proceeds from its capital-raising activities to acquire Toncoin and participate in staking activities on the TON network (the “Network”). The Company formally commenced staking operations in August of 2025 and intends for staking to become a primary yield generation and a core component of its digital asset treasury strategy within the current fiscal year.

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company utilized two third-party custodians—BitGo Trust Company, Inc. and Blockchain.com (Cayman) Limited—to manage and stake its Toncoin holdings. While the Company’s staking agreements are governed directly through these custodians, the custodians may engage third-party service providers to operate validator or staking infrastructure on their behalf. All TON staked by the Company is deployed through single-nominator validator pools and is not commingled with assets of other clients or participants. When chosen as validators by the TON network, these validators earn staking rewards and transaction fees proportional to the amount of stake delegated to them.

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had staked 177,071,814 units of TON on the TON blockchain. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company earned 336,341 units of TON and recognized revenue from staking rewards of $707.

 

In addition to our digital asset business, the Company has three additional complementary business units. They are MARKET.live, a livestream shopping platform and digital media agency; LyveCom, an AI social commerce technology software provider; Go Fund Yourself, a social crowd-funding platform and interactive reality TV show for Regulation CF and Regulation A issuers. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company dissolved Vanity Prescribed LLC and sold Good Girl LLC both wellness focused ecommerce sites providing telehealth services.

 

MARKET.live

 

Focused on interactive, video-based social commerce, MARKET.live is a multi-vendor livestream shopping platform that merges e-commerce and entertainment, enabling brands, retailers, and creators to broadcast shoppable events simultaneously across major social and video channels, including TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. The platform’s integrations with Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and other networks enable native, frictionless checkout experiences within each application, with purchase and order data flowing seamlessly back through MARKET.live to vendors for fulfilment. In 2024, MARKET.live expanded its relationship with TikTok through a formal partnership with TikTok Shop, becoming an official TikTok Shop Partner (TSP). Under this partnership, TikTok refers brands, retailers, influencers, and affiliates to MARKET.live for recurring-fee services, including onboarding and store setup, creative production, influencer management, and store optimization—now representing the largest and fastest-growing segment of MARKET.live’s business. 

 

LyveCom

 

During the prior quarter, the Company announced the closing of its acquisition of LyveCom, an artificial intelligence (AI)–driven video commerce platform, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated April 11, 2025. The integration of LyveCom’s technology into MARKET.live enhances the platform’s multicast and AI capabilities, enabling brands and merchants to deliver a true omnichannel livestream shopping experience across social media channels, proprietary websites, and mobile applications, while maintaining unified checkout and inventory control. LyveCom’s technology allows brands to own their audience and data by capturing “zero-party” customer information—data intentionally shared by customers regarding preferences and purchase intentions—providing deeper insight and reducing reliance on third-party platforms.

 

GO FUND YOURSELF

 

Go Fund Yourself is an interactive social crowdfunding platform that provides public and private companies with broad-based exposure for their Regulation CF and Regulation A offerings across multiple social media channels. The platform integrates an interactive reality series with MARKET.live’s commerce infrastructure, allowing viewers to make investments or purchase products in real time by engaging with onscreen icons and QR codes. The program airs weekly on CheddarTV and generates revenue from issuer fees related to appearances, marketing, advertising, and content production, as well as transaction-based fees of up to 25% on gross product sales completed through the platform. The panel of “Titans” includes recurring members David Meltzer, Jayson Waller, and Rory J. Cutaia, along with rotating guest participants from business, sports, and entertainment, each of whom serve as executive producers and minority owners. 

 

 

Private Placement in Public Equity

 

On August 7, 2025, the Company completed a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) with certain institutional investors (the “PIPE Subscribers”) pursuant to a subscription agreement. The PIPE included the sale of (i) 57,024,121 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $9.51 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,677,996 shares of common stock at a price of $9.5099 per warrant (together, the “Acquired Securities”). Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, is immediately exercisable, and remains outstanding until exercised in full. The PIPE generated gross proceeds of approximately $558,000, funded with a combination of cash, TON, and USD-denominated stablecoins (USDC and USDT), before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. The Company incurred cash placement agent fees of $11,423 and offering expenses of $13,155. In addition, the equity fee consisted of 512,860 shares of common stock valued at $10,452, that were issued to the placement agent.

 

Approximately one-third of the PIPE Subscribers (the “Lock-Up Investors”) agreed to lock-up restrictions under which they may not sell or transfer their Acquired Securities for six months (for all securities held) and 12 months (for 50% of those securities), measured from the date of the subscription agreement, subject to customary exceptions. Lock-Up Investors that contributed non-transferable Toncoin (“Locked Toncoin”) are also subject to equivalent lock-up restrictions for the Acquired Securities received as consideration for the Locked Toncoin. The Locked Toncoin may, however, be staked by the Company to generate staking revenue.

 

On August 21, 2025, the Company announced the commencement of its TON Treasury Strategy, designating Toncoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. The Company began purchasing TON under this strategy and initiated staking activities during the third quarter of 2025 to earn rewards on its digital asset holdings. See Note 3 – Digital Asset Holdings and Note 12 – Stock Warrants.

 

Historical Operations

 

Historically, and through June 13, 2023, the Company operated as a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform developer offering interactive, video-based sales enablement tools for the direct sales industry (the “SaaS Assets”). The Company expanded this business through the acquisitions of Sound Concepts Inc. (via Verb Direct, LLC) in April 2019 and Ascend Certification, LLC (dba SoloFire) (via Verb Acquisition Co., LLC) in September 2020. On October 18, 2021, the Company formed verbMarketplace, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, to operate its MARKET.live business.

 

On June 13, 2023, the Company sold its SaaS Assets (Verb Direct and Verb Acquisition) for total consideration of $6,500, including $4,750 in cash paid at closing and up to $750 in contingent consideration based on second-year performance metrics; a similar first-year contingent payment was not earned. The divestiture allowed the Company to focus its resources on the growth of its MARKET.live business.

 

On November 15, 2024, the Company formed Go Fund Yourself Show LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, to operate the Go Fund Yourself business. On January 15, 2025, the Company formed Good Girl LLC, a majority-owned Nevada limited liability company, and subsequently sold this subsidiary during the three months ended September 30, 2025. There was no consideration paid or received in this sale transaction.

 

On July 28, 2025, the Company formed VERB Subsidiary 1, Corp., VERB Subsidiary 2, Corp., and VERB Subsidiary 3, Corp., all Nevada corporations, to operate the digital asset business.

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and restricted cash of $53,925.

 

Equity Financing

 

On April 22, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC for the sale of 5,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series D Non-Convertible, Non-Voting Preferred Stock at a total purchase price of $5,000. Each share had a par value of $0.0001 and a stated value of $1,200, with no voting rights. The following day, on April 23, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences and Rights of Series D Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State, designating 7,500 shares in total. The sale was consummated on April 22, 2025.

 

On August 1, 2025, the Company redeemed in full all outstanding Series D Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, paying an aggregate cash amount equal to the original issue price plus any accrued but unpaid 9% annual preferred return.

 

 

Economic and Network Disruption

 

Our business, including both our traditional operations and our digital asset treasury activities involving Toncoin is dependent on general economic conditions and the performance of TON. Macroeconomic factors such as inflation, rising interest rates, foreign exchange volatility, or economic instability in jurisdictions where we or our partners operate may adversely affect demand for our products and services, as well as the value of our digital asset holdings. These conditions can also influence liquidity, capital availability, and investor sentiment across all of our business lines.

 

In addition, our digital asset operations are directly exposed to risks specific to the TON ecosystem. Network disruptions, validator downtime, software vulnerabilities, governance disputes, or changes in protocol parameters may impair access to our TON holdings or reduce staking rewards. Adjustments to validator incentives, inflation rates, or reward distributions could materially alter the economics of staking. Likewise, declines in network activity, competition from other blockchains, or regulatory developments affecting TON or related ecosystem participants could negatively impact TON’s utility and price.

 

Given the evolving nature of both global markets and the Network, we cannot predict the timing or magnitude of any economic or network-specific disruption. Any such events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
