Sharplink, Inc. has intensified its Ethereum strategy, holding a record 867,798 ETH valued at $1.72 billion. The treasury firm now stakes nearly 100% of its Ethereum, generating consistent yields for shareholders.
Despite Ethereum dropping 60% from last year’s peak, Sharplink has grown its institutional ownership to 46%, showing strong trust from serious investors. CEO Joseph Chalom highlighted that careful planning and professional risk management are what keep drawing new investors to the company.
During the fourth quarter, Sharplink welcomed approximately 60 new institutional investors, further strengthening its position as a top Ethereum-focused digital asset treasury company. Chalom stated, “Even during volatile markets, we continue growing our ETH concentration per share. No matter the price of the underlying asset, institutions know they can trust us to keep generating long-term value for our stockholders.” Consequently, Sharplink’s ability to stake nearly all its ETH holdings since inception has become a cornerstone of its investor appeal.
Strategic Stake Growth and Returns
Sharplink’s ETH holdings comprise 587,232 native ETH, 225,429 as-if redeemed from LsETH, and 55,137 as-if redeemed from WeETH. Since June 2025, the company has generated 13,615 ETH in staking rewards, which fully accrued to shareholders.
This combination of direct ETH and derivative staking demonstrates Sharplink’s methodical approach to maximizing yield while mitigating risk. Additionally, the company’s near-total staking strategy ensures that even market volatility does not impede its reward generation.
Moreover, Sharplink’s recent brand refresh underscores its institutional focus. The redesigned website now includes an updated investor relations page, a treasury dashboard, and resources on Ethereum opportunities. Chief Marketing Officer Mandy Campbell noted, “Sharplink has and will remain focused on transparency, measurable results and Ethereum advocacy. Our brand now reflects that focus and alignment with both our institutional and retail investors.”
To further strengthen its market presence, Sharplink appointed Steven Ehrlich, former Forbes Senior Editor, as Head of Research and Communications. Ehrlich will enhance engagement with retail and institutional audiences while amplifying Sharplink’s mission to provide smarter access to Ethereum’s long-term potential.
