LAS VEGAS, Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verb Technology Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: VERB) (“the Company”), today announced the successful closing of its previously announced upsized and oversubscribed $558 million private placement (“PIPE transaction”), in partnership with Kingsway Capital (“Kingsway”). The completion of the PIPE transaction marks a critical milestone in the Company’s plans to become the first and largest publicly traded treasury reserve of Toncoin ($TON). $TON is the native cryptocurrency of TON blockchain, the blockchain integrated with Telegram, one of the world’s most widely used messaging platforms.

The PIPE transaction, which priced approximately 58.7 million shares of common stock, included participation from over 110 institutional and crypto-native investors, led by Kingsway and anchored by Vy Capital, Blockchain.com, Ribbit Capital, and Graticule (GAMA). Additional investors include CMCC Global, Pantera, MEXC Ventures, ParaFi Capital, Luxor Capital, Arrington Capital, Animoca, Kraken, Primitive Ventures, BitGo, FalconX, Orbs Group, The Open Platform (TOP), TVM Ventures, Kenetic, Hivemind Capital, UNCAP, Pacific Coast Venture Partners, and several high-profile crypto founders like Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs.

“As the exclusive blockchain infrastructure powering Telegram’s Mini App ecosystem, we believe in the utility and potential growth in adoption of Toncoin,” said Manuel Stotz, incoming Executive Chairman. “With today’s completed placement and the backing of an exceptional list of investors, we are building a next-generation treasury platform to define a new category of digital asset reserves.”

Company Strategy

The Company plans to immediately begin using the majority of the net proceeds from the PIPE transaction to acquire $TON, which will serve as its primary treasury reserve asset. The strategy is expected to generate sustainable staking rewards to initiate, manage, and grow the Company’s $TON exposure in a cash flow positive manner. The Company intends to rebrand as TON Strategy Co. (“TSC”) to reflect its new direction. In addition, the Company will continue to operate its existing business units, each of which leverages its social commerce technology and video marketing expertise, which are expected to expand.

Company Leadership and Special Advisor

As previously announced, the Company will be led by a deeply experienced team driving its digital asset strategy:

  • Executive Chairman Manuel Stotz is the Founder & CEO of Kingsway and serves as President of the TON Foundation. He brings over 15 years of global investment experience and has led Kingsway’s evolution into a top institutional investor in the blockchain ecosystem. Stotz also serves on the board of Blockchain.com and was an early supporter of $TON and the TON ecosystem.
  • Chief Executive Officer Veronika Kapustina previously served as a Senior Advisor to the TON Foundation, where she was instrumental in designing its global ecosystem initiatives. She began her career at Morgan Stanley, advising clients on capital markets and tech M&A, and brings a unique blend of institutional finance, venture capital, and blockchain experience to her role at the Company.
  • Chief Financial Officer Sarah Olsen is the Co-Founder of Europa Partners and former Head of Corporate Development for Onyx by JP Morgan, where she led strategic initiatives across blockchain, payments, and tokenized assets. Olsen’s expertise spans traditional financial infrastructure and digital asset innovation.
  • Special Advisor Peter Smith is the CEO and Co-Founder of Blockchain.com, one of the world’s leading global crypto infrastructure platforms. A pioneer in the industry, Smith has guided Blockchain.com through multiple growth cycles and brings invaluable insight into market structure, regulation, and global adoption trends.

Advisors

Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, served as lead financial advisor to Kingsway and sole placement agent to the Company.

Reed Smith LLP served as legal advisor to Kingsway. Perkins Coie LLP served as legal advisor to the Company. Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck served as Nevada legal advisor to the Company. Morgan Lewis served as legal advisor to Cohen & Company Capital Markets.
