Sharplink posts $734M loss as Ethereum treasury grows to nearly 870K ETH

Sharplink reported a $734.6 million net loss for 2025 as market volatility weighed on the value of its Ethereum holdings.

The company said the loss was primarily driven by $616.2 million in unrealized losses linked to $ETH price declines during the second half of 2025, along with a $140.2 million impairment related to LsETH holdings. Those were partially offset by $55.2 million in realized gains from $ETH conversions and redemptions.

Sharplink ended the year with $28.5 million in cash and $1.9 million in USDC, while total revenue rose to $28.1 million in 2025, up from $3.7 million in 2024.

The company has been repositioning itself as an institutional Ethereum treasury platform, raising roughly $3.2 billion in capital and accumulating 868,699 $ETH as of early 2026. That strategy aims to increase $ETH per share and generate yield through staking and treasury management.

Chief Executive Officer Joseph Chalom said the company’s approach is designed to perform across market cycles.

2025 was a defining year for Sharplink, Chalom said, noting the firm completed its transition to an Ethereum-focused treasury model while building internal infrastructure to manage its holdings and staking operations.

Sharplink launched its dedicated $ETH treasury strategy on June 2, 2025, establishing treasury management as a core operating segment. By early March 2026 the company had become the second largest publicly traded holder of Ethereum.

The firm also increased its $ETH concentration per share from 2.0 to 4.01, while generating 14,516 $ETH in staking rewards since June through a mix of native and liquid staking programs.

Sharplink’s staking business accelerated toward the end of the year, with fourth-quarter staking revenue reaching $15.3 million, up nearly 50% from $10.3 million in the third quarter.

Chairman Joseph Lubin, who is also founder and CEO of Consensys and a co-founder of Ethereum, said institutional adoption accelerated during 2025 as global financial institutions expanded stablecoin issuance, tokenized assets and decentralized finance infrastructure on Ethereum.

Lubin said Ethereum’s role as a decentralized trust and settlement layer is likely to attract continued institutional demand, positioning Sharplink to serve as a bridge between public markets and the Ethereum ecosystem.

Looking ahead, Sharplink said it plans to increase $ETH per share through disciplined capital allocation, expand staking and yield-generating strategies, and deepen partnerships across the Ethereum ecosystem while maintaining institutional governance and custody standards.

The financial results come as Sharplink shares were up about 0.7% on the day, though the stock remains down roughly 95% from its all time high reached after the company announced its Ethereum treasury strategy in June 2025. Ether was last trading near $2,000 as a broader market rally lifted crypto assets across the board.
