AlphaTON and Blockchain Wire to Create First TON-Verified Newswire

AlphaTON Capital (Nasdaq: ATON) has finalized a strategic acquisition of Blockchain Wire, a leading press release distribution service for the blockchain and digital asset sectors, marking a pivotal move to expand its influence in global digital communications. The deal, announced on November 5, 2025, aims to integrate Blockchain Wire's high-growth distribution network into AlphaTON's ecosystem, with plans to launch the world's first verifiable newswire on The Open Network (TON) blockchain, according to a StockTitan report. The acquisition is expected to close in Q1 2026, subject to standard regulatory approvals, a GlobeNewswire release said.

Blockchain Wire, which serves over 4,000 clients and reports more than 100% compound annual growth since 2023, has established itself as a trusted conduit for crypto-native firms and traditional enterprises entering the Web3 space, the StockTitan report noted. Its services deliver news to tens of millions of readers across financial and crypto media outlets, with a focus on speed and accuracy. AlphaTON CEO Brittany Kaiser emphasized that the acquisition would "standardize and professionalize" digital communications while leveraging Telegram's 1+ billion-user ecosystem for cryptographic verification of press releases, the GlobeNewswire release added.

The integration will utilize TON's blockchain capabilities to timestamp and trace press releases, creating an immutable record of authenticity. This innovation aligns with AlphaTON's broader strategy to develop the Telegram ecosystem, including validator operations and strategic investments in decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming platforms, as described in the StockTitan report. Michael Shuler, CEO of Blockchain Wire, noted the partnership would accelerate the firm's vision to build a "verifiable newswire" on TON, enhancing transparency and institutional trust, according to the GlobeNewswire release.

Blockchain Wire's leadership team, previously responsible for traditional newswire services GlobeNewswire and MarketWire, brings decades of institutional press distribution expertise to the deal, the GlobeNewswire release observed. The acquisition underscores AlphaTON's dual focus on blockchain infrastructure and digital asset investments, as evidenced by its recent purchase of 300,000 additional TON tokens for its treasury, a MarketScreener alert noted.

The transaction highlights AlphaTON's aggressive expansion into the TON ecosystem, which complements its legacy operations in biotech and immunotherapy research, the GlobeNewswire release said. With this acquisition, AlphaTON aims to position itself as a dominant player in digital communications, leveraging Telegram's mini-apps to distribute verified content to a vast audience.
