TON Strategy, a Nasdaq-listed company building its treasury around The Open Network's native Toncoin token, generated an estimated 3.3 million TON in staking rewards and backed a series of recent network upgrades.
The company said its preliminary gross staking yield reached roughly 1.48% in May, up from 1.39% the month prior. Based on its reported 226.8 million staked TON holdings at the end of May, that implies roughly 3.3 million (TON) worth over $5.6 million in staking rewards for the month.
In a Monday release, TON Strategy also voiced its support for a slate of TON governance proposals that took effect last week. The upgrades focus on improving "network performance, throughput and scalability" while leaving staking rewards mostly unchanged.
Changes included smart contract execution improvements, block synchronization enhancements, and increased validation capacity for higher transaction throughput.
"These network upgrades represent another important step as TON continues to develop for high-volume consumer applications tied to the Telegram ecosystem," CEO Kevin Wilson said in a statement.
The company's TONX shares were up roughly 1.3% on Monday to $3.15, bringing the stock's year-to-date gain to aabout 31%. Meanwhile, TON was trading near $.172 and has remained mostly flat year-to-date, according to The Block crypto price data.
TON Strategy, formerly Verb Technology, adopted its TON-focused strategy in August last year and has become one of the network's largest holders and validators.
