SharpLink Gaming, which manages one of the largest Ethereum treasuries, disclosed Tuesday that it had added 56,533 ETH at an average of $4,462 last week, bringing its stash to 797,704 ETH.
With ETH changing hands above $4,500 at press time, SharpLink’s ETH holdings are valued at approximately $3.6 billion. The company’s stash makes it the second-largest corporate Ethereum holder after BitMine Immersion and one of the biggest players in crypto treasuries.
Co-CEO Joseph Chalom said the latest purchase reflects SharpLink’s disciplined approach to building its Ethereum treasury.
“With nearly 800,000 ETH now in reserve and strong liquidity available for further ETH acquisitions, our focus on building long-term value for our stockholders while simultaneously supporting the broader Ethereum ecosystem remains unwavering,” Chalom stated.
The company reported total staking rewards of 1,799 ETH since launching its treasury strategy in June. SharpLink maintains approximately $200 million in cash available for additional ETH acquisitions.
Last week, the company’s Board authorized a $1.5 billion stock buyback program as part of its capital markets strategy. The company will buy back shares when they trade at or below the net asset value of its Ether holdings, aiming to improve its ETH-per-share ratio.

India faces a dilemma: persisting on the current path will exhaust policy space, while relying on rate hikes to rebuild the yield spread would directly stifle economic growth.
