$875M in Fresh Ethereum Investments: Companies Ramp Up ETH Holdings as Institutional Interest Surges

 

By: Marco Piccolo

 

Key Highlights:

 

The Ether Machine has raised its ETH treasury to nearly 500,000 ETH, valued at approximately $2.5 billion, after a $654 million investment from Jeff Berns.

 

SharpLink Gaming added 39,008 ETH last week, increasing its total holdings to 837,230 ETH worth over $3.6 billion.

 

Yunfeng Financial Group, backed by Alibaba’s Jack Ma, purchased 10,000 ETH to support its Web3 and RWA initiatives.

 

Institutional appetite for Ethereum (ETH) continues to grow, with several major firms significantly expanding their ETH reserves in recent weeks. This trend highlights Ethereum’s increasing role as a strategic asset in corporate treasuries, particularly among companies focused on Web3 infrastructure and digital finance.

 

The Ether Machine strengthens position with $654M ETH injection

 

The Ether Machine (DYNX) has increased its ETH treasury with an additional 150,000 ETH, valued at $654 million, contributed by Ethereum supporter Jeffrey Berns. This latest infusion brings the firm’s total holdings to nearly 500,000 ETH, or about $2.5 billion, making it the third-largest corporate holder of Ethereum, trailing only BitMine and SharpLink.

 

Founded just two months ago through the merger of Ether Reserve and Dynamix Corporation, The Ether Machine has quickly established itself as a major ETH accumulator. The latest investment also marks the largest follow-on capital raise by any crypto treasury company to date. Berns will join the company’s board, further aligning with its long-term vision of building a yield-generating ETH treasury.

According to co-founder Andrew Keys, the firm’s treasury scale gives it “unmatched strength and credibility in this market.” With another $367 million in capital still available for future purchases, and a Nasdaq listing expected next quarter, The Ether Machine’s accumulation drive appears far from over. A third funding round, led by Citibank and targeting at least $500 million, is set to begin this week.

 

SharpLink Gaming crosses 837K ETH in reserves

 

SharpLink Gaming (SBET), already among the largest ETH holders, purchased 39,008 ETH in the final week of August at an average price of $4,531, spending roughly $177 million. This brings its total ETH holdings to 837,230, with a market value of over $3.6 billion.

The acquisition was financed primarily through $46.6 million in proceeds from the company’s at-the-market equity program. Since launching its ether-denominated treasury strategy on June 2, 2025, SharpLink has also accrued 2,318 ETH in staking rewards and maintains over $71.6 million in deployable cash.

 

SharpLink’s ETH concentration metric, which measures the ratio of ETH to cash, has nearly doubled since June, now standing at 3.94. This reflects the company’s strong conviction in Ethereum’s long-term value. Notably, Joseph Lubin, Ethereum co-founder and Consensys CEO, was appointed chairman of SharpLink earlier this year following a $425 million private investment round.

 

Yunfeng Financial adds ETH to balance sheet amid Web3 push

 

Hong Kong-listed Yunfeng Financial Group, which is linked to Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma, has entered the ETH treasury space with a 10,000 ETH acquisition, worth about $44 million. The move aligns with its strategic expansion into Web3, digital currencies, real world assets (RWA), and artificial intelligence.

 

Jack Ma co-founded Yunfeng Capital with David Yu in 2010. In 2015, the company acquired Reorient Group Limited and renamed it to Yunfeng Financial Group in 2016.

Funded from internal cash reserves, Yunfeng’s ETH purchase aims to support RWA tokenization and diversify its asset portfolio. The company emphasized that Ethereum will serve as a key infrastructure asset for future financial innovation and integration. ETH will now be reflected as an investment on Yunfeng’s financial statements.

 

Yunfeng’s decision reflects a broader institutional trend of viewing ETH not just as a digital asset, but as a foundational layer for decentralized financial applications. The company also plans to explore Ethereum’s applications in insurance and other emerging business verticals.

Ether Machine raises $654 million in private ether financing as Nasdaq debut nears

 

By: Ateev Bhandari

 

September 2, 202511:53 AM GMT+1 Updated 6 hours ago

 

Sept 2 (Reuters) - The Ether Machine has raised $654 million worth of ether in private financing, it said on Tuesday, as the cryptocurrency firm expands its treasury strategy ahead of its Nasdaq listing later this year.

 

The 150,000 ether - invested by longtime ethereum proponent Jeffrey Berns - will be delivered to its wallet later this week, the company said.

 

Berns will also join the company’s board of directors.

 

As cryptocurrencies gain favor across corporate treasuries, ether stands out for its yield-generating ability. Holders can lock up their tokens to support the ethereum network in exchange for rewards, earning active returns.

 

Ether Machine’s financing comes less than two months after it was formed via a merger between the Ether Reserve and blank-check firm Dynamix Corporation (ETHM.O).

 

The deal was initially expected to raise over $1.6 billion, with investors like Blockchain.com, Kraken, and Pantera Capital.

 

Ether Machine is now expected to go public with over 495,362 ether, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency, worth $2.16 billion, and another $367.1 million remaining in capital to acquire additional ether.

 

THIRD ROUND

 

When buying crypto, treasury companies try to minimize dilution via instruments like convertible debt or preferred stock to maximize their crypto holdings per share.

 

“Between the issuance of debt and the ability to do on chain yield generation that surpasses exchange traded funds, we believe that we should be able to sustain a multiple-to-net asset value (mNAV) in perpetuity,” co-founder and Chairman Andrew Keys told Reuters in an interview.

 

mNAV compares the market capitalization of a company to the actual value of the assets they own.

 

With the Nasdaq listing expected to close next quarter, the Ether Machine is continuing fundraising, Keys said.

 

“Citibank is leading our third capital raising round,” Keys said, adding that it would be at least $500 million.

 

“It starts on Wednesday.”
