U.S.-based gaming giant SharpLink has made another bold move into cryptocurrency, massively expanding its Ethereum (ETH) reserves between August 25 and 31. The company purchased additional ETH at an average price of $4,531 per token, pushing its total Ethereum holdings past $3.6 billion for the first time.
NEW: SharpLink acquired 39,008 ETH at an average price of ~$4,531, bringing total holdings to 837,230 ETH, valued at ~$3.6B.

With this milestone, SharpLink now calls itself one of the largest corporate holders of Ethereum worldwide.
A Clear Shift Since June: Ethereum at the Core
SharpLink began a new financial strategy in June, pivoting heavily toward Ethereum. According to CEO Joseph Chalome, the company is committed to consistently building its ETH reserves while generating steady returns through staking.
“We are executing our financial strategy with discipline, increasing our Ethereum holdings while securing stable staking rewards,” Chalome said. He added that SharpLink will continue raising capital flexibly through market instruments to maximize shareholder value.
Funding via ATM Offering
The latest Ethereum purchases were primarily funded through an At-the-Market (ATM) offering program. During the week of August 25–29, SharpLink raised $46.6 million in net proceeds by issuing just 2.4 million new shares — a steep decline compared to the 18.6 million shares issued the week before. 18,680 ETH were also purchased through Galaxy Digital on August 4.
One striking development is SharpLink’s Ethereum concentration ratio, which now stands at 3.94, meaning the company holds nearly four times more Ethereum than cash reserves. As of August 31, SharpLink had $71.6 million in cash, while its Ethereum holdings totaled in the billions.
Staking Boosts Revenues
Since adopting the Ethereum-focused strategy in June, SharpLink has generated 2,318 ETH through staking, including 500 ETH in the past week alone. This additional income stream complements its massive crypto reserves.
In the past three months, the ATM program has allowed SharpLink to raise several hundred million dollars, with strong investor confidence despite Ethereum’s price volatility.
Looking Ahead
SharpLink said it will continue to adjust its capital and investment strategy based on market conditions and ETH performance. Its goal remains to balance stock issuance, liquidity, and cryptocurrency holdings.
This strategic transformation marks SharpLink’s evolution from a gaming company to a leading Ethereum holder on the global stage, a move that industry experts believe could inspire other publicly listed firms to follow suit.
