The strategy is expected to generate sustainable staking rewards to initiate, manage, and grow the Company's $TON exposure in a cash flow positive manner. The Company intends to rebrand as TON Strategy to reflect its new direction. In addition, the Company will continue to operate its existing business units, each of which leverages its social commerce technology and video marketing expertise, which are expected to expand.
