Sharplink (SBET) holds 868,000 ether as price drop drove 2025 loss

Sharplink wants to be a pure-play Ethereum treasury company, and the 2025 results show what that looks like when the asset drops by nearly half.

The Nasdaq-listed company reported full-year results Monday showing 868,699 ETH in total holdings as of March 1, $28.1 million in revenue, and a net loss of $734.6 million.

The loss was driven almost entirely by $616.2 million in unrealized losses on its ether position and a $140.2 million impairment charge on liquid staking tokens, partially offset by $55.2 million in realized gains from ether to staked ether conversions.

The unrealized losses don’t mean Sharplink sold at a loss, however. They’re a product of fair-value accounting rules that force public companies to mark crypto positions to market every quarter.

Sharplink still holds the same number of coins, but the income statement just reflects what happened to ether’s price since they bought it.

Staking revenue climbed to $15.3 million in Q4, up nearly 50% from $10.3 million in Q3. The company generated 14,516 ETH in staking rewards since launch. Institutional ownership of the stock jumped from 6% to 46%.

Sharplink is the second-largest publicly traded holder of ether, behind Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which holds over 4.5 million ETH worth $9 billion and is sitting on estimated losses of $7.8 billion.

Bitmine ramped up its buying last week, purchasing 60,976 ETH in its largest weekly acquisition of 2026, with chairman Thomas Lee saying the firm believes crypto is in the “late stages of a mini-crypto winter.”

The two companies are running the same playbook at different scales. Both raise capital through public markets to buy ether, measure success by ETH per share rather than GAAP earnings, and are betting that the unrealized losses eventually reverse as the cycle turns.

The ETH treasury thesis is more complex than its bitcoin equivalent. It requires investors to believe in Ethereum’s role as an institutional settlement layer, the long-term growth of staking yields, and the value of the network’s fee economy.

Staking gives Sharplink something bitcoin treasury companies don’t have, a way to earn more of the underlying asset just by holding it, but it also introduces smart contract risk and liquidity risk on the liquid staking derivatives.

Meanwhile, Sharplink said it would continue compounding ETH per share, expanding staking operations, and deepening ecosystem partnerships.

ETH trades just above $2,000 in Asian afternoon hours on Tuesday, up 2.2% in the past 24 hours.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
