Company becomes largest public firm to use Ethereum as primary treasury reserve asset.
Chairman Joseph Lubin calls the move a long-term commitment, not a speculative trade.
SharpLink’s total ETH holdings now stand at 205,634 after latest strategic crypto purchase.
SharpLink Gaming is turning heads this week after making one of its boldest crypto moves yet. The company, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker SBET, just bought 10,000 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation. This isn’t just another crypto trade, it’s a strategic shift that could have a lasting impact on Ethereum’s future.
SharpLink Goes All In on Ethereum
Recently, SharpLink Gaming finalized the purchase of 10,000 ETH for $25.7 million on July 10, 2025, buying each ETH at $2,572.37. The transaction was made directly with the Ethereum Foundation, a rare move that highlights SharpLink’s strong commitment to the Ethereum ecosystem.
With this, SharpLink becomes the largest publicly traded company to adopt Ethereum as a primary treasury reserve asset.
This step goes beyond profit; it’s about supporting the long-term growth and decentralization of the Ethereum network.
“This Isn’t a Trade, It’s a Commitment”
The statement from Joseph Lubin, Chairman of SharpLink and co-founder of Ethereum, made the message even clearer. He described this purchase not as a short-term bet, but as a serious commitment to Ethereum’s mission.
According to him, SharpLink will acquire, stake, and re-stake ETH, helping reduce supply and strengthen the network.
In fact, this is not SharpLink’s first big ETH move. They also bought an additional 7,689 ETH at an average price of $2,501, bringing their total holdings to a massive 205,634 ETH.
ETH and SBET Price Surging
However, the news has impacted the Ethereum & SharpLink’s stock price (SBET) quickly. SBET price jumped over 8%, now trading around $19.90. At the same time, Ethereum’s price surged by 7%, climbing to just under $3,000.
Ethereum also broke past key resistance levels and touched $3,040 before slowing down.
