    SharpLink’s ETH Treasury Nears $1B in Unrealized Gains

    KryptonewsBy No Comments3 Mins Read

    SharpLink Gaming’s Ether holdings surged in value as the cryptocurrency climbed nearly 4.5% in the past 24 hours, pushing the company’s unrealized gains close to $1 billion.

    On Tuesday, the company said its unrealized profit from its Ether (ETH) purchases has surpassed $900 million since it initiated its accumulation strategy on June 2. 

    Strategic ETH Reserve data shows that SharpLink holds 838,730 ETH on its balance sheet, worth around $3.93 billion at current prices. This makes the company one of the largest holders of ETH, with 0.69% of the asset’s total supply. 

    “With 839k ETH on our balance sheet and no debt, SharpLink’s in a strong position to keep generating value for stockholders,” SharpLink said in the post.

    SharpLink holds nearly 839,000 ETH

    SharpLink’s gains were accelerated by Ether’s recent surge to $4,700 on Tuesday, a nearly 5% increase compared to Monday’s levels around $4,500. 

    The company also said that its ETH concentration per share has nearly doubled since the accumulation program began, increasing potential earning power for shareholders.

    “This is the power of a productive and yield-bearing asset like ETH,” the company said.

    Strategic ETH Reserve data showed how SharpLink scaled its position through steady purchases over the summer. Initial purchases included 176,300 ETH, followed by multiple buying waves in July and August. 

    Since September, the holdings have remained near the 839,000 ETH mark, but the rise in the ETH price has driven the value of its holdings higher.

    Ether treasury companies hold over 5% of ETH’s total supply

    Other Ether-focused treasury firms have continued to accumulate the cryptocurrency, pushing total corporate holdings to more than 5.6 million ETH, valued at over $26.5 billion.

    BitMine Immersion Tech leads the pack with 2.83 million ETH ($13.25 billion), about 2.34% of the total supply. 

    After BitMine and SharpLink, the next biggest holder is The Ether Machine, which holds nearly 500,000 in ETH, worth over $2.32 billion.

    Meanwhile, Strategic ETH Reserve data showed that ETH held in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has reached 6.83 million ETH ($32 billion), or about 5.63% of the total supply. 

    In total, reserve companies and ETFs hold 12.49 million ETH ($58 billion), over 10.3% of the total supply. Ether remains the world’s second-largest crypto treasury asset after Bitcoin (BTC), which has around 4 million coins ($500 billion) held in corporate treasuries. Solana (SOL) ranks third, with nearly 18 million tokens worth about $4 billion.
