- Regular updates on ETH holdings promised.
Publicly traded ETHZilla, formerly 180 Life Sciences Corp., raised $156 million through convertible notes, intending to purchase Ethereum, announced their strategy on August 11, 2025.
The move signals a growing trend among public companies investing in cryptocurrencies, potentially impacting Ethereum’s market landscape and institutional interest.
ETHZilla’s Strategic Move in the Ethereum Market
ETHZilla, rebranding from 180 Life Sciences Corp., has secured $156 million. Funds are raised through senior secured convertible notes due 2028. This action primarily aims to augment the company’s Ethereum (ETH) holdings.
180 Life Sciences Corp., listed as ATNF, announced the sale of $156M in convertible notes. The company’s Executive Chairman, McAndrew Rudisill, stated the proceeds will increase ETH holdings for ETHZilla and strengthen its financial base.
The fundraising is expected to impact the Ethereum market, as ETHZilla plans significant ETH purchases. This move may influence other companies to consider similar strategies, impacting investor sentiment towards Ethereum as a corporate asset.
Financial experts suggest that the ETH treasury strategy could lead to increased institutional interest in Ethereum. The company has pledged to maintain transparency by offering regular updates on its ETH position to reassure investors.
Some analysts predict potential volatility in Ethereum’s price due to high-volume acquisitions by ETHZilla. However, the long-term effect could stabilize ETH pricing as more entities adopt similar treasury policies.
The move by ETHZilla reflects a broader trend of blockchain adoption within traditional financial frameworks. Similar treasury practices have been seen with Bitcoin, but ETH accumulation strategies by public firms represent a relatively new phenomenon.
