Tron’s blockchain operator has been adding to its stash of TRX and that activity is getting attention. Reports say the platform recently bought 179,408 TRX at an average cost of $0.28, lifting its treasury to about 680 million tokens.

The buy was one more in a series of purchases that show a clear pattern: steady accumulation over several days.

According to on-chain records, the platform purchased tokens at slightly different prices across recent days. On February 7, it bought more than 184,000 TRX at $0.27 a piece.

On February 8, another 181,000+ TRX were added at $0.28. The most recent move of 179,400 TRX followed those buys.

These are not one-off trades. They read as deliberate, repeated steps to build a reserve of native tokens over time.

Tron Inc. (NASDAQ: TRON) acquired 179,408 TRX tokens today at an average price of $0.28, further increasing its TRX treasury holdings to more than 680.7 million TRX in total. The company aims to further grow its Tron DAT holdings to enhance long term shareholder value. For live…

Tron’s founder, Justin Sun, posted a short message that read “Keep Going.” That simple line was taken by some traders as a vote of confidence.

Reports note Sun’s public backing came while his legal fight with regulators remains on pause, and that political voices have criticized the pause.

Market moves have been modest. The token is trading near $0.27, up about 0.75% from earlier in the day. Still, TRX has slipped 1.5% over the past week and 6% in the last month.

Trading activity has cooled; 24-hour volume fell by 20% to roughly $520 million. That lower volume suggests fewer hands are moving funds, which can make any price uptick look fragile.

Large-scale accumulation by a project is usually read two ways. For followers, it can be a sign the team expects future value or wants to support liquidity. For skeptics, it can also look like internal reshuffling or an effort to control supply dynamics.

The repeated purchases at nearby price points point to a steady plan rather than panic buys, but steady plans don’t guarantee price rebounds when broader market sentiment is soft.

Reports say Tron intends to keep buying. If that continues over the next 10 days or longer, the treasury will grow and the narrative around its reserve will strengthen.

Yet the wider market’s mood and regulatory pressure will probably matter more for TRX’s path than a handful of buys.

Investors watching the token should note the low turnover and the modest nature of the price rise; both hint that stronger momentum has not yet arrived.
