(“SharpLink” or the “Company”) today announced the strategic acquisition of 176,270.69 ETH for an aggregate purchase price of $462,947,816 (inclusive of fees and expenses), at an average acquisition price of $2,626 per ETH (inclusive of fees and expenses). This acquisition positions the Company as the largest publicly-traded holder of ETH in the world, and the second largest holder behind the Ethereum Foundation.
In addition to the initial PIPE transaction from May 26, 2025, the Company also disclosed it raised an additional $79 million in approximate gross proceeds through its at-the-market (“ATM”) facility. With a majority of the ATM proceeds used to fund further purchases of ETH, contributing to the total above, these collective purchases have generated ETH per share growth of 11.8% since June 2, 2025. As of June 13, 2025, over 95% of SharpLink’s ETH holdings are actively deployed in staking and liquid staking solutions, contributing to Ethereum’s network security while generating native yield.
“This is a landmark moment for SharpLink and for public company adoption of digital assets,” said Rob Phythian, Chief Executive Officer of SharpLink Gaming. “We believe Ethereum is foundational infrastructure for the future of digital commerce and decentralized applications. Our decision to make ETH our primary treasury reserve asset reflects deep conviction in its role as programmable, yield-bearing digital capital.”
“SharpLink’s bold ETH strategy represents a pivotal milestone and innovative approach to the institutional adoption of Ethereum. It comes at a unique time when the United States Congress is moving towards passing significant stablecoin and digital asset market structure legislation. Hopefully, such legislation will serve as a catalyst for adoption of Ethereum technology, a decentralized network capable of many functions in the onboarding of the global economy,” added Joseph Lubin, Chairman of SharpLink Gaming, Co-Founder of Ethereum and Founder and CEO of Consensys. “By allocating significant capital to ETH and deploying it in network activities such as staking, SharpLink is both contributing to Ethereum’s long-term security and trust properties while earning additional ETH for that work.”
SharpLink is the first Nasdaq-listed company to adopt a treasury reserve policy centered on ETH. Through this initiative, SharpLink aims to provide shareholders with meaningful economic exposure to ETH, while reinforcing its belief in blockchain’s role in transforming industries globally. From May 30, 2025 through June 12, 2025, SharpLink sold shares under its $1 billion ATM equity program, and thus far has raised approximately $79 million in gross proceeds, a majority of which it intends to allocate toward additional ETH purchases.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, SharpLink is one of the first Nasdaq-listed companies to develop a treasury strategy centered on ETH, which will serve as SharpLink’s primary treasury reserve asset. In adopting its new treasury policy, SharpLink intends to provide investors with economic exposure to ETH and to advocate for its role as digital capital.
