SharpLink Gaming has acquired 16,373 ETH for $48.85 million via Galaxy OTC, significantly impacting the Ethereum market.
This acquisition highlights corporate interest in Ethereum, potentially inspiring other institutions to accumulate crypto reserves, thereby altering market dynamics. SharpLink has been investing heavily in ETH, reportedly accumulating over $600 million worth of the cryptocurrency.
SharpLink Gaming, directed by Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin, has embarked on a substantial ETH accumulation spree. The company executed the purchase through Galaxy OTC without notable public comments from its leadership.
“With ETH gaining 17.75% in the last seven days and briefly crossing $3,000 for the first time since February 2025 before dropping to the $2,900 range, the company is now sitting on unrealized profits. Per Ember_CN, the firm has over $79 million in profits at the current ETH price.” — Joe Lubin, Chairman, SharpLink Gaming
The bulk purchase caused a 17.75% surge in Ethereum’s price, briefly crossing $3,000. SharpLink’s stock also saw gains, underscoring investor confidence in the company’s crypto strategy.
SharpLink’s actions are reminiscent of MicroStrategy’s BTC accumulation, marking a significant shift in institutional ETH adoption. Communities discuss potential for new corporate treasury strategies amid ETH’s rising popularity.
With $79 million in unrealized profits, this move demonstrates strong financial acumen. Future regulatory scrutiny is possible, with analysts monitoring the impact on Ethereum and broader crypto markets.
