AlphaTON Capital to Acquire Premier Crypto Newswire Blockchain Wire, Cementing Dominance in Digital Asset Communications via the Telegram Ecosystem

The Acquisition focuses the Top Crypto News Platform to Expand Verifiable News Distribution to Telegram’s 1+ Billion Users

London, UK, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTON Capital Corp ("AlphaTON Capital" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ATON) – AlphaTON Capital, a leading investment firm focused on disruptive technologies, today announced definitive terms to acquire Blockchain Wire, the industry’s premier press release distribution service for the blockchain, crypto, and digital asset sectors. This strategic acquisition is set to integrate Blockchain Wire’s expansive distribution network into AlphaTON Capital’s ecosystem, creating a powerhouse for global digital communications

Blockchain Wire has established itself as the trusted channel for crypto-native companies and mainstream enterprises entering the Web3 space. Generating over 100% CAGR growth since 2023 and profitable, the service boasts global reach, serving more than 4,000 clients through its system. It ensures news is delivered with unparalleled speed and fidelity across top-tier financial, mainstream, and dedicated crypto media outlets, reaching a global audience counted in the tens of millions of readers.

Crucially, the core strategy driving this acquisition is the launch of the world's first verifiable newswire service built on The Open Network (TON). This initiative will leverage the TON blockchain to cryptographically verify, time-stamp, and trace the source of every press release, creating an immutable record of authenticity. Furthermore, it will utilize Telegram's powerful ecosystem of thousands of mini-applications to deliver content and news that is transparently verified, accurate, and traceable directly to the source.

"The acquisition of Blockchain Wire is a game-changer for AlphaTON Capital and for the future of on-chain traceability of truth through compliant, high-impact communications," said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of AlphaTON Capital. "Blockchain Wire’s foundation, built by the same visionaries behind two of the largest traditional newswires, gives it an unmatched level of credibility and reach. By integrating their technology and client base, we are launching the first verifiable newswire service on the TON blockchain. This move is designed to standardize and professionalize the way news is delivered across the digital economy, leveraging Telegram's vast ecosystem to ensure the content is verified, accurate, and traceable to the source, thereby establishing unprecedented institutional trust."

Michael Shuler, CEO and President of Blockchain Wire, shared his enthusiasm for the new chapter. "Joining forces with AlphaTON Capital is a natural progression that amplifies our core mission. Our history of building leading newswires proves our dedication to high-quality distribution. This partnership allows us to leverage blockchain technology not just for distribution, but for cryptographic verification, accelerating our vision to build the first truly verifiable newswire on the TON network. We will deliver news with the highest standards of accuracy, traceability, and impact within the Telegram community."

The transaction highlights the pedigree of Blockchain Wire’s leadership. Its founders are the same team who previously founded and built two of the world's most successful traditional newswire services, Globe Newswire and MarketWire, bringing decades of proven expertise in institutional press distribution to the digital asset space.

The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Blockchain Wire will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AlphaTON Capital.
