SharpLink Is Buying Ethereum Like There’s No Tomorrow, Holdings Now At 740,760 ETH

TLDR:

  • SharpLink raised $537M through direct offerings and ATM sales in one week, expanding its Ethereum strategy rapidly.
  • The company bought 143,593 ETH at an average price of $4,648, bringing its total stash to 740,760 ETH.
  • ETH staking rewards reached 1,388 since June 2, while ETH Concentration surged 94 percent in under three months.
  • SharpLink still holds $84M cash on hand, reserved for future ETH purchases under its active treasury strategy.

SharpLink is ramping up its Ethereum strategy at a pace few expected. The company is rapidly deploying capital into Ether while raising hundreds of millions in new funds. Its latest update shows steady growth in crypto holdings and treasury performance. 

At the same time, its staking rewards are rising as accumulation continues. The aggressive approach positions SharpLink as one of the biggest corporate players in the Ethereum market.

SharpLink Gaming, listed on Nasdaq under ticker $SBET, announced that it raised $537 million between August 10 and August 15. According to the company’s latest blog update, funds came from $146.5 million through an At-the-Market facility and $390 million via a direct offering.

The raised capital was quickly deployed into Ethereum purchases. During the same period, SharpLink acquired 143,593 ETH at an average price of $4,648. This new purchase pushed its total Ethereum balance from 596,800 ETH to 740,760 ETH.

Data shared by the company showed a clear jump in its ETH holdings compared with previous weeks. On July 27, SharpLink held 438,200 ETH, while by August 10 that figure had grown to 596,800 ETH. Within a single week, it added nearly 144,000 ETH.

SharpLink also highlighted that it still has more than $84 million in cash reserves, which have not yet been deployed into additional ETH. This indicates further acquisitions are planned under its treasury program.

Ethereum Holdings and Staking Rewards Grow

Alongside new purchases, SharpLink confirmed growth in its staking rewards. Since launching its treasury strategy on June 2, rewards have reached 1,388 ETH. For the week ending August 17 alone, staking contributed an additional 300 ETH.

The company introduced a new metric to measure its treasury growth called ETH Concentration. This is calculated by dividing total ETH holdings by assumed diluted shares outstanding. The metric climbed to 3.87 as of August 17, representing a 94 percent rise since early June.

SharpLink’s updates show a steady increase in average ETH purchase prices. In late July, its buys averaged $3,756, while by August 17 that number had risen to $4,648. The company has continued to scale its exposure despite the higher entry levels.

The latest disclosure confirms that SharpLink is one of the largest corporate holders of Ethereum today. A tweet from SharpLink emphasized its long-term approach, stressing the company’s commitment to building its treasury with sustained purchases and staking rewards.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…

Bitcoin devs cheer block reconstruction stats, ignore security budget concerns

Bitcoin devs cheer block reconstruction stats, ignore security budget concerns

The post Bitcoin devs cheer block reconstruction stats, ignore security budget concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This morning, Bitcoin Core developers celebrated improved block reconstruction statistics for node operators while conveniently ignoring the reason for these statistics — the downward trend in fees for Bitcoin’s security budget. Reacting with heart emojis and thumbs up to a green chart showing over 80% “successful compact block reconstructions without any requested transactions,” they conveniently omitted red trend lines of the fees that Bitcoin users pay for mining security which powered those green statistics. Block reconstructions occur when a node requests additional information about transactions within a compact block. Although compact blocks allow nodes to quickly relay valid bundles of transactions across the internet, the more frequently that nodes can reconstruct without extra, cumbersome transaction requests from their peers is a positive trend. Because so many nodes switched over in August to relay transactions bidding 0.1 sat/vB across their mempools, nodes now have to request less transaction data to reconstruct blocks containing sub-1 sat/vB transactions. After nodes switched over in August to accept and relay pending transactions bidding less than 1 sat/vB, disparate mempools became harmonized as most nodes had a better view of which transactions would likely join upcoming blocks. As a result, block reconstruction times improved, as nodes needed less information about these sub-1 sat/vB transactions. In July, several miners admitted that user demand for Bitcoin blockspace had persisted at such a low that they were willing to accept transaction fees of just 0.1 satoshi per virtual byte — 90% lower than their prior 1 sat/vB minimum. With so many blocks partially empty, they succumbed to the temptation to accept at least something — even 1 billionth of one bitcoin (BTC) — rather than $0 to fill up some of the excess blockspace.
