Analysis · TONX · Crypto Assets
Kingsway Capital, TON Strategy's largest shareholder at 21.96%, has put its demands on the record in a formal 13D amendment. Attached is an open letter that calls the stock's 44% discount to estimated treasury asset value per share unacceptable and blasts the board for not buying back shares more aggressively. The filing also lays out an explicit menu of escalation options: nominating directors at the 2027 annual meeting, soliciting proxies or consents, calling a special meeting, and even evaluating strategic alternatives or a change of control. That turns a public complaint into a credible governance fight over capital allocation, with the unusual twist that the activist's founder, Manuel Stotz, is himself the company's Executive Chairman. The ownership increase to 21.96% from 19.93% came purely from a shrinking share count, not new buying, which reinforces the buyback argument.
