Exhibit 99.1
TON Strategy Company Advances Share Repurchase Program
LAS VEGAS, NV — July 1, 2026 — TON Strategy Company (“TON Strategy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TONX), a digital asset treasury company dedicated to supporting the TON ecosystem, today announced that it has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Plan”) to facilitate the repurchase of the Company’s common stock during a two-month period beginning July 1, 2026.
The Plan was established under the Company’s existing $250 million stock repurchase authorization announced on September 3, 2025. Virtu Financial will serve as the Company’s executing broker under the Plan.
Manuel Stotz, Executive Chairman of TON Strategy stated, “Disciplined capital allocation is a key driver of long-term shareholder returns. When our shares trade at a significant discount to their intrinsic value, repurchasing them is the most compelling investment we can make to increase value for all shareholders.”
Kevin Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of TON Strategy, added, “We have strong conviction in Gram and in the opportunity presented by the TON ecosystem. We are encouraged by the network’s recent technical progress, the continued buildout of the developer experience, and Telegram’s growing integration with TON-based functionality. The share repurchase plan allows us to act on a disconnect in our own equity without constraining our ability to continue advancing our Gram treasury strategy.”
About TON Strategy Company
TON Strategy Company (Nasdaq: TONX) is focused on the accumulation of Gram, formerly known as Toncoin – the native cryptocurrency of Telegram’s billion-user platform – for long-term investment, whether acquired through deployment of proceeds from capital raising activity, staking rewards or via open market purchases. The Company aims to steadily expand its Gram holdings, stake Gram, and support the development of a tokenized economy inside Telegram.
In addition, the Company continues to operate legacy business units, including MARKET.live, a multi-vendor livestream shopping platform, and LyveCom, an AI-powered social commerce innovator that enables brands and merchants to deliver omnichannel livestream shopping experiences across websites, apps, and social platforms.
