SharpLink stakes another 39,319 ETH as ether treasury expands
The Nasdaq-listed company moved about $91 million of ether into staking, according to onchain tracking; its own disclosures show the broader treasury and the risks behind the yield strategy.
SharpLink Gaming staked another 39,319 ETH, worth about $91 million at the price cited in the report, in a move that adds to one of the largest publicly disclosed corporate ether treasuries. Bitcoin.com News reported that the transaction was flagged by onchain tracker Lookonchain on Aug. 21.
Lookonchain's public channel post identified the additional 39,319 ETH and linked to an Arkham entity page for SharpLink Gaming. The post is evidence of a tracked onchain movement, not a company filing or an independent valuation of the position.
A treasury built around productive ETH
SharpLink's investor dashboard says the company reports total ETH holdings and staking rewards from internal records, with holdings updated weekly. The company describes its strategy as combining ETH exposure with native staking, liquid-staking positions and selected onchain yield activities.
The company's second-quarter filing reported $11.161 million in staking revenue for the three months ended June 30 and a $394.274 million net loss. Those figures describe the quarter; they do not measure the return or risk of the new staking move.
Staking is not a free yield upgrade
Native staking moves ETH into Ethereum's deposit contract and changes how quickly the company can access the asset. Liquid-staking tokens can preserve transferability, but they add provider, smart-contract, liquidity and pricing risks. The move therefore increases the amount of capital SharpLink is putting to work, while also concentrating more of its balance sheet in an asset whose dollar value can change sharply.
SharpLink says its dashboard is informational and warns that its ETH concentration, ETH NAV and related metrics are not GAAP measures or conventional net-asset-value calculations. The company also says investors should review its SEC filings and not treat historical ETH performance as a guide to future results.
