As of May 31, the firm maintained approximately 227.5 million TON in total holdings, with roughly 226.8 million tokens deployed in staking protocols. The organization’s gross monthly staking return for May registered at approximately 1.48%, representing an increase from the previous month’s 1.39% figure. When annualized, the May performance translates to roughly 17.80%, surpassing April’s 16.7% rate.

According to TON Strategy, staking revenue continues to serve as a fundamental component of its treasury management approach. The organization, previously operating as Verb Technology, transitioned to its Toncoin-centered business model in August 2025. The company has since established itself among the most prominent validators and token holders within The Open Network ecosystem.

June 4 Protocol Enhancements Go Live

TON Strategy publicly endorsed several governance initiatives that became operational on June 4, 2026. These protocol modifications prioritized network efficiency, transaction capacity, and infrastructure scalability.

The updates incorporated the TVM 14 enhancement, delivering advanced capabilities for smart contract processing. The Block Sync Overlay established a specialized communication infrastructure for validator nodes. Additional features included complete collated data generation and broadened validation capabilities, increasing the maximum collated data volume that validators can handle. The protocol changes also implemented resource management mechanisms to address spam prevention and network congestion.

CEO Kevin Wilson emphasized that these modifications enable validators to handle and transmit network activity with greater efficiency. “These network upgrades represent another important step as TON continues to develop for high-volume consumer applications tied to the Telegram ecosystem,” Wilson said.

TON Strategy verified that the implemented modifications would not alter validation compensation structures, indicating that staking revenue streams should remain unaffected.

Durov’s ‘Make TON Great Again’ Campaign Advances

These protocol enhancements align with Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s comprehensive ecosystem transformation under his “Make TON Great Again” campaign.

Earlier in June 2026, Durov revealed that TON’s native digital asset would be rebranded as Gram. This naming convention returns to the terminology featured in Telegram’s initial white paper. The rebranding forms part of an extensive initiative encompassing transaction fee reductions, additional network optimizations, and a strategic framework for Telegram to assume expanded governance responsibilities within the TON ecosystem.

TON Strategy’s TONX equity shares experienced approximately 1.3% growth on Monday, reaching $3.15 per share. The stock has delivered roughly 31% gains year-to-date.

Toncoin (TON) maintained price levels near $1.72 and has exhibited minimal movement on a year-to-date basis.

The organization’s April 2026 protocol improvements had previously enhanced block generation speeds and transaction fee structures. The current implementation cycle extends those foundational developments.
