The company resumed buying ETH for the first time in eight months, acquiring 5,000 ETH valued at approximately $7.85 million. According to on-chain data, the funds arrived from crypto prime brokerage FalconX. The purchase marks the first of Sharplink’s Ethereum acquisition since October 2025.
Ethereum recently fell to around $1,537, its lowest level of 2026. While many investors remain cautious, Sharplink appears to be taking the opposite approach.
Market observers see the move as a sign of confidence. Andri Fauzan Adziima, Research Lead at Bitrue Research Institute, said institutional investors continue accumulating digital assets despite weak market conditions. Such behavior often reflects a long-term strategy rather than short-term speculation.

Sharplink’s Ethereum Strategy Focuses on Long-Term Growth
Sharplink has maintained a bullish view on Ethereum throughout the year. In May, Chief Executive Officer Joseph Chalom highlighted three factors that could support future ETH growth. The first is regulatory progress in the United States.
The proposed CLARITY Act continues moving through the legislative process, with lawmakers expected to discuss the bill further in July.
The second factor is improving market sentiment. Chalom believes easing geopolitical tensions and a slowdown in the artificial intelligence investment frenzy could encourage investors to move back into risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
The third catalyst is the rapid growth of real-world asset tokenization. The sector has expanded significantly over the past year and now represents approximately $31.55 billion in tokenized asset value.
Sharplink’s Ethereum Holdings Remain Among the Largest
Sharplink’s connection to Ethereum is relatively new. Founded in 2019 as an affiliate marketing company serving sports betting and gambling businesses, the firm shifted direction in June 2025 and adopted an Ethereum treasury strategy. The move gained credibility when Consensys co-founder Joe Lubin became chairman.
Although Bitmine has overtaken Sharplink’s Ethereum holdings, and ranked as the largest public corporate holder of ETH, Sharplink continues to grow its position through purchases and staking rewards.
Today, the company holds approximately 876,285 ETH and ETH equivalents. That makes Sharplink one of the largest institutional Ethereum holders in the world and a company that remains firmly committed to Ethereum’s long-term future.
