TON Foundation launches Society DAO to drive decentralization
- TON Foundation says Society DAO is The Open Network ecosystem’s path to decentralisation.
- Society DAO will also help bring transparency and inclusion to the TON community.
The Open Network Foundation is looking to bolster the blockchain network’s decentralisation with a new governance model.
On Nov.1, the TON Foundation announced the launch of Society DAO, aimed at fostering a more decentralized ecosystem.
Society DAO is a governance framework that will help the TON community benefit from key elements of decentralisation, transparency and inclusion, TON Foundation President Steve Yun and TON Society co-founder Jack Booth, wrote in a blog post.
TON’s path to decentralization: Society DAO
Talk is easy, action is hard, and no more so than in experimenting true decentralization to Web3!
That is why The Open Network Foundation is committing to this head on by introducing Society DAO – a new community-driven governance… pic.twitter.com/zZjkfm2OHa

The new governance model is also aimed at democratising access to financial, socio-political and human capital.
“Society DAO will grow to include proven and reputable community teams that can propose and execute a plan that supports the ecosystem’s objectives. It will welcome new contributors across roles such as marketing, app development, technology, stablecoin integration, DeFi, community growth, identity, and more. This model will make the community’s brightest minds the key stakeholders in the growth and adoption of TON,” the execs noted.
According to the TON Foundation, Society DAO’s key features will include publication of TON ecosystem goals and community proposals. DAO members will be able to propose strategies and provide expected timelines and results for ecosystem goals. The DAO also provides for working group reviews and grant approval.
The DAO will publish a list of key initiatives for the first half of 2025 by January, TON Foundation said.
However, overall, Society DAO plans to achieve goals such as positioning TON as the blockchain network for real-world assets and a super app market.

Michael Saylor Announces Plans to Raise $21 billion from Stock Sale
- Michael Saylor announced plans to raise funds to buy Bitcoin by issuing and selling $21 billion worth of MicroStrategy shares.
- The equity raise is part of a larger plan to raise $42 billion for Bitcoin purchases over the next three years.
- The at-the-market equity offering will dilute current shares by 42% of their capitalisation, which currently stands at $50 billion.
Michael Saylor, co-founder and Chairman of MicroStrategy, announced plans to raise $21 billion to buy more Bitcoin by offering more MSTR shares at prevailing market prices. The amount of shares issued would dilute the value of existing shares held by current shareholders.
Usually, this level of dilution would lead to a significant discount in stock price to retain the same overall value, which is manifest by a fall in stock prices.
However, MicroStrategy’s stock price has not fallen significantly since the announcement, due largely to its cohort of shareholders, the performance of its stock since 202, and its Bitcoin holding.
An overview of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin purchases
MicroStrategy began buying Bitcoin in 2020, at a time when adding Bitcoin to corporate balance sheets was not as accepted as it is today. Over the last four years, the company has issued corporate debt notes to fund its Bitcoin purchases and currently holds 252,220 Bitcoin (roughly 1% of the total Bitcoins supply) worth roughly $17.6 billion.
The company’s most recent purchase was in September 2024, when it bought 7,420 Bitcoin at an average price of $61,750 per BTC, totalling $458.2 million, which it raised by offering senior debt notes.
Shareholders hope despite dilution concerns
MicroStrategy is in a unique position because the size of its Bitcoin holdings creates a correlation between Bitcoin’s price performance and that of its stock. With each major Bitcoin purchase, MSTR moves closer to being a quasi-Bitcoin spot ETF.
However, the total cost of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin purchases hovers around $9.9 billion while the current value of the company’s holding is 95% higher than the cost price, a performance that has fueled the company’s stock rally.
MSTR, which traded around $13 in 2020 when MicroStrategy began its Bitcoin buying strategy, is currently trading at $244.50. The share price has grown 250% this year alone, outpacing Bitcoin’s 60% performance.
MicroStrategy’s capital plans and Saylor’s projections
Michel Saylor’s plan to buy $42 billion worth of Bitcoin over the next three years, fueled by a $21 billion equity raise and debt notes, could increase the company’s Bitcoin holdings by threefold, depending on the average buy price.
Saylor expects Bitcoin to reach between $3 million and $49 million in the next 20 years and is therefore building MicroStrategy into a Bitcoin bank.
Bitcoin trades at $70,105 as of publishing after recently testing the all-time highs of $73,000 reached in March 2024.
