Management Commentary
Chief Executive Officer Veronika Kapustina stated, “The third quarter marked the operational launch of our TON strategy and the beginning of our long-term participation in The Open Network. We deployed capital into Toncoin, began staking operations, and earned our first on-chain income. Our objective is to build a differentiated public company aligned with the expansion of The Open Network by holding and staking $TON over a long-term time horizon, executing a disciplined capital allocation strategy, and exploring ways to support and invest in the development and security of The Open Network.”
Chief Financial Officer Sarah Olsen added, “This quarter was about execution. That included not only closing on the PIPE capital and accumulating Toncoin, but also underwriting key service providers and building the infrastructure needed to support our corporate treasury strategy. Our efforts focused on security, technology, financial reporting and compliance, which we believe establish a strong foundation for future growth. We also plan to make key additional hires to strengthen our bench and ensure best practices across all core areas of our business.”
