SharpLink Goes All-In: 438K ETH Purchase Spree Totals $290M in Just 7 Days
SharpLink just dropped a quarter-billion-dollar mic on crypto markets—snagging enough ETH to make even a Goldman Sachs quant blink. Their weeklong buying frenzy signals either diamond-handed conviction or a very expensive FOMO experiment.
The play: No drip-feeding here. The firm vacuumed up 438,000 ETH at an average $662 per coin—old-school whale behavior in a market obsessed with algorithmic penny-pinching.
Why it stings: While TradFi banks nickel-and-dime clients with 'blockchain innovation' PowerPoints, SharpLink's move proves real crypto players still put capital where their mouth is. Even if their mouth is chewing through $290M like it's brunch money.
Staking Rewards and Strategic Intent
Alongside its purchases, SharpLink continues to receive staking rewards, adding 0.2K ETH in the week ending July 27. This brings its cumulative staking rewards to 722 ETH since launching the strategy on June 2, 2025.
The company’s ETH concentration—measuring ETH relative to its overall capital structure—rose to 3.40, up from 3.06 the prior week and a 70% increase since the program began.
Capital Raised Through ATM Facility
To fuel its purchases, SharpLink raised $279.2 million in net proceeds through its at-the-market (ATM) share issuance facility during the week of July 21–25.
A total of 10.8 million shares were issued during that week alone. This follows a previous issuance of 3.8 million shares the week prior, reflecting growing investor interest and confidence in the company’s strategy.
Since July began, SharpLink has raised over $850 million through ATM issuance, allowing continued purchases without heavy reliance on external financing or leverage.
Leadership and Vision Going Forward
Adding momentum to the company’s evolving direction, Joseph Chalom—former digital asset strategist at BlackRock—officially assumed his role as Co-CEO on July 24. Commenting on his decision to join SharpLink, Chalom said.
“I see a powerful opportunity to help shape the future of financial infrastructure and decentralized finance. SharpLink’s commitment to aligning its strategic direction with the Ethereum ecosystem resonates with my passion for digital assets and scaling innovation in global finance. I’m thrilled to be leading SharpLink into its next phase.”
SharpLink Becomes Largest Public Holder of Ethereum
SharpLink Gaming is officially the leading public company holding Ethereum, now controlling 360,807 ETH—valued at approximately $1.33 billion—according to fresh data from analytics platform CoinGecko.
What sets SharpLink apart is not just the size of its ETH treasury, but how it’s used. The company reports that over 95% of its Ethereum is either staked or deployed through liquid staking platforms.
$SBET Price Action
SharpLink Gaming, stock trading under “SBET,” has seen a huge surge over the past month, with its stock price rising by 110.73% to $20.92.
The rapid increase from around $10 at the beginning of July to a peak above $35 mid-month suggests heightened investor interest, possibly fueled by speculative momentum or expectations of a strategic development. While the price has since cooled off from that high, the stock remains elevated compared to its early-July levels.
