TON Strategy locks 226.8M TON, raises May staking yield

Nasdaq-listed TON Strategy locked 226.8 million Toncoin and kept nearly all of its 227.5 million holdings staked as it continued to operate as one of The Open Network’s largest validators. The company raised its monthly gross staking yield to 1.48% in May, up from 1.39% in April.

As of May 31, TON Strategy held about 227.5 million TON, with roughly 226.8 million actively staked. The change in monthly yield raises the annualized rate to about 17.8% from 16.7%. The firm trades on Nasdaq under the ticker TONX; its stock has gained about 65% year-to-date.

TON Strategy took part in a governance vote on configuration changes that took effect on June 4 and supported the upgrades. The company noted the changes did not alter validation rewards and said the updates were aimed at improving smart contract execution, speeding block data handling, increasing validation capacity and adding protections against spam and congestion.

In a statement, CEO Kevin Wilson wrote, “We voted in favor because we believe continued protocol-level development is important.” He linked the upgrades to support for consumer applications tied to the Telegram ecosystem.

Staking is central to TON Strategy’s treasury approach, with the firm keeping most positions locked to earn network rewards. The June governance changes follow April adjustments that shortened block times and reduced transaction costs. Developers have also announced a planned shutdown of a bridge service scheduled for September 2026.
