Tron Inc., a newly Nasdaq-listed company formed via a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, has filed a shelf registration with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue up to US$1 billion (AU$1.52 billion) in securities backed by its TRX token treasury.
This registration allows Tron Inc. to sell a range of instruments, including common and preferred shares, debt, and warrants, over the next few years depending on market conditions. The firm clarified that proceeds from these offerings will be used to increase its existing TRX token holdings, currently exceeding 365 million tokens.
Originally a penny stock under SRM Entertainment, the company secured a US$100 million (AU$152 million) private equity investment in TRX tokens as part of the merger and rebranded to Tron Inc., adopting the Nasdaq ticker TRON on 17 July. Tron founder Justin Sun marked the occasion by ringing the Nasdaq opening bell.
The company’s strategy centres on building a long-term TRX reserve through capital raised from securities and reinvesting surplus liquid assets. The filing noted Tron Inc. sees its TRX holdings as a core part of its asset base.

Strong Market Reaction to Filing
Tron Inc. shares surged over 23% following the filing, reaching US$11.80 (AU$17.94), with its market cap climbing beyond US$200 million (AU$304 million). Since the merger was announced in June, shares have gained over 1,300%.
The move places Tron Inc. among a growing class of publicly traded crypto treasury firms, following models pioneered by companies like Strategy, which built substantial reserves in Bitcoin.
Through this hybrid of decentralised asset strategy and traditional financial tools, Tron Inc. aims to secure capital access while maintaining regulatory alignment.
