Small-cap publicly traded firm AlphaTON Capital has signaled ambitions to access a substantially larger fundraising capacity as it delves deeper into the artificial intelligence and Telegram ecosystem. 

The company has exited the SEC’s “baby-shelf” limitations and filed a $420.69 million shelf registration, a precise figure often referenced in crypto’s meme culture. The rules limit the amount of capital that very small public companies can raise through a shelf registration. This aims to prevent tiny issuers from flooding the market with stock and heavily diluting investors.

According to Google Finance data, AlphaTON capital stock, ATON, suffered significant losses in the last month. The stock dropped from $4.75 on Nov. 5 to $1.71 at the time of writing. This marked a 64% drop in a single month. 

At the time of writing, the company has a market capitalization of $13 million and an average volume of $1.55 million. However, the company holds over 12.8 million Toncoin (TON) tokens, worth about $20.5 million, according to CoinGecko.

Small company with big fundraising ambitions

AlphaTON’s filing stands out because the company remains a tiny public issuer with a relatively limited float. Still, it’s positioning itself to raise more than $420 million, a figure more commonly seen with mid-cap tech companies rather than nano- to micro-cap blockchain treasuries. 

While exiting baby-shelf limits allows it to legally pursue much larger offerings, this does not guarantee execution. Raising such an amount would likely require sustained demand or institutional interest. 

If the company manages to raise its capital from the program, it said it will direct funds toward scaling GPU infrastructure for Telegram’s Cocoom AI network and pursuing acquisitions of revenue-generating Telegram ecosystem applications. It also said that it would purchase additional TON tokens for its treasury. 

For shareholders, the obvious upside is that a successful raise could accelerate the company’s push into TON-aligned AI infrastructure. Even the announcement itself was followed by a brief increase in the company’s shares. 

According to Google Finance, ATON stock rose from a low of $1.49 on Thursday to its $1.71 price a day after the announcement. This marked a 14.7% increase following the company’s announcement of its ambitions.

DATs lose momentum in November

The timing of AlphaTON’s push for a large capital program coincides with the digital asset treasury (DAT) sector’s recent loss of momentum. 

Corporate crypto balance-sheet allocations saw their weakest month of 2025 in November, with inflows dropping to $1.32 billion. Bitcoin (BTC) treasuries dominated inflows during the month, but many Ether (ETH)-linked DATs slipped into outflows.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
