(TSX-V: TNX), a blockchain infrastructure company focused on staking solutions for next-generation networks, announced that it has acquired Tezos (XTZ) tokens as part of a strategic staking partnership with the Tezos Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>The XTZ acquisition supports TenX\u2019s validator operations on the Tezos network and aligns with the company\u2019s broader strategy of active network participation, staking-based revenue generation, and long-term engagement with the blockchain ecosystems where it provides infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>In line with this strategy, TenX said that as of January 19, 2026, it had acquired about 5.54 million XTZ tokens at an average price of roughly $0.5868 per token. <\/p>\n<p>The purchases were made through a mix of open-market and over-the-counter transactions between January 2 and January 19, 2026, and were funded using cash from the company\u2019s financing round completed on August 18, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>TenX said it chose the Tezos network under its validator-first model, which prioritises deploying staking infrastructure on blockchains that offer high throughput and long-term protocol stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we scale our validator operations, Tezos stands out for its governance model, technical maturity, and reliability,\u201d said Mat Cybula, CEO of TenX.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the strategic partnership, the Tezos Foundation has indicated that, subject to customary due diligence and internal approvals, it intends to delegate a portion of its XTZ holdings to validators operated by TenX on the Tezos network. <\/p>\n<p>Any such delegation would support TenX\u2019s validator activities and further align the company\u2019s infrastructure operations with the long-term security, decentralization, and sustainability of the Tezos ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, said, \u201cTenX sees what others have missed: Tezos combines battle-tested governance with the scaling and performance the industry has been chasing. Validators who think long-term are a natural fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tezos is known for its self-amending architecture, which allows the network to upgrade through on-chain governance without disruptive hard forks. <\/p>\n<p>To date, Tezos has completed 19 successful upgrades, with recent improvements enhancing institutional functionality, network performance, and staking efficiency. <\/p>\n<p>The network continues to see growing adoption across DeFi, including through its Etherlink EVM-compatibility layer, as well as gaming and digital art, supporting its positioning as a durable, institution-friendly Layer 1 blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>TenX said the XTZ acquisition is driven by two primary objectives. <\/p>\n<p>First, staking XTZ through its own validator infrastructure enables the company to generate recurring revenue, supported by attractive yields and a stable economic framework. <\/p>\n<p>Second, by operating validators, TenX contributes to the security and decentralization of the Tezos network, aligning its infrastructure operations with the protocol\u2019s long-term development and sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/01\/20\/tenx-acquires-5-5m-xtz-as-part-of-strategic-staking-partnership-with-tezos-foundation\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Invezz ) TenX Protocols Inc.
