Tron Inc., the NASDAQ-listed operator of the Tron blockchain, has accumulated roughly 680 million TRX (TRX) tokens in its treasury after completing a series of daily purchases at around $0.28 per token, while founder Justin Sun posted a brief public endorsement that some traders interpreted as a signal of confidence.
What Happened: Tron Treasury Grows
On-chain records show the company bought 179,408 TRX on Feb. 9 at an average price of $0.28. That purchase followed similar moves on Feb. 7, when more than 184,000 tokens were acquired at $0.27 apiece, and on Feb. 8, when another 181,000-plus TRX were added at $0.28.
The pattern points to deliberate, repeated accumulation rather than a single large trade. Sun posted "Never stop" on social media as the purchases continued, a message some market participants read as a vote of confidence.
His public backing came while his legal dispute with regulators remains on pause, and reports note that political figures have criticized the delay.

Why It Matters: Weak Volume Undercuts Rally
TRX is trading near $0.27, up about 0.75% on the day, but the token has fallen 1.5% over the past week and 6% over the past month. Twenty-four-hour trading volume dropped 20% to roughly $520 million, a decline that suggests limited participation behind the modest price uptick.
Large-scale token accumulation by a project's own operator is typically read two ways: supporters see it as a sign the team expects future value, while skeptics view it as an effort to manage supply dynamics.
The repeated purchases at closely spaced price levels suggest a systematic plan, but steady buying alone does not guarantee a price recovery when broader market sentiment remains soft.
In Dec 2025 Tron reached record network growth in 2025 even as TRX suffered its weakest fourth-quarter performance in eight years. The network added 355.4 million total accounts by December, processing over 8.8 million daily transactions. The divergence illustrates a core lesson in cryptocurrency markets: network adoption does not guarantee immediate price appreciation.
