The Nasdaq-listed firm now holds 859,853 ETH, valued at approximately $2.9 billion, marking one of the largest institutional commitments to yield-bearing digital assets.
Ethereum Staking Turns Corporate Treasury Into a Profit Engine
SharpLink’s Ethereum staking engine is generating yields that could redefine what it means to hold crypto on a corporate balance sheet. According to company data, the firm earned 459 ETH ($1.5 million) in staking rewards last week. This brings its total to 6,575 ETH since launching its staking strategy in June 2025.

The results sparked a wave of commentary across the crypto and TradFi sectors. Many argue this proves Ethereum, not Bitcoin, may be the superior treasury asset. Ethereum’s edge lies in its yield-bearing, productive reserve, which compounds value over time.
“This is actually insane. SharpLink generated $1.5M in staking revenue just last week. That’s $83.5M annualized. However, it compounds over time, and the price of ETH will likely go up too. So this is a $100M+ revenue stream — and this started only 5 months ago,” Milk Road co-owner Kyle Reidhead remarked in a Friday post.
He added that the yield is entirely unlevered, giving SharpLink room to “build and grow during good or bad moments in the market.” According to the Milk Road executive, this is why ETH is a better treasury asset than BTC.
Reidhead’s post has since become a benchmark example for the “productive ETH” thesis. This is where institutions earn a consistent real yield from staking, rather than relying on speculative appreciation.
Joseph Young, a popular user on X, echoed the sentiment. He noted that SharpLink’s treasury currently holds 859,853 ETH, valued at approximately $2.9 billion.
“It’s now clear to me that SharpLink, Bitmine, and others will aggressively accumulate ETH continuously,” Young said. “Staked rewards massively increase ROI, especially with price appreciation. Expect more institutions to follow suit down the line,” wrote Young.
The comments highlight a broader institutional shift toward ETH as a yield-bearing asset on the balance sheet. It follows moves by JPMorgan to accept BTC and ETH as collateral, as well as the SEC’s approval of ETH staking ETFs earlier this year.
Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin also weighed in, praising SharpLink’s approach and its leadership team, led by Matt Sheffield.
SharpLink has been steadily building a world class team for the long haul. And yes, for the near term as well.
Matt @sheffieldreport is one of the sharpest minds at the intersection of DeFi and TradFi and he is surrounded on the team by equally gifted De/Trad Fi specialists.… https://t.co/Bv56DSXrQL
Lubin’s comments came amid renewed optimism that a DeFi-TradFi convergence is underway, fueled by easing macro headwinds and liquidity returning to risk markets.
Active ETH Management on the Chain
Elsewhere, data from Lookonchain shows that a wallet linked to SharpLink redeemed 5,284 ETH, valued at approximately $17.5 million, and deposited 4,364 ETHworth $14.4 million into the OKX exchange.
📌 MAROKO133 Hot crypto: When Will the Record US Shutdown End? Polymarket Says This
The US federal government shutdown, setting a new record for its unprecedented length, is exerting a strong influence on the global economy.
Damages and adverse effects are rapidly emerging across various economic sectors. Nevertheless, there is no sign of compromise on the political front.
Record-Breaking Standoff Deepens
As of Friday, the US government shutdown has entered its 38th day. This milestone officially surpassed the previous record of 35 days set during the 2018-2019 Trump administration. The shutdown, which began on October 1, 2025, stems from a budget impasse between Democrats and Republicans in Congress.
The human toll is substantial: approximately 750,000 federal workers are furloughed without pay. Consequently, essential aid programs for low-income families and children are halted. The strain is also visible in US transit, with major airport flight delays and cancellations surging by nearly 10%. This is occurring because air traffic controllers’ pay is suspended.
The halt in US fiscal policy has exacerbated market liquidity, and the cryptocurrency market is also suffering the consequences. Industry observers view the resolution of the shutdown as a potential momentum for a bullish reversal in the crypto market.
Liquidity Crisis Hits Crypto
A key financial side effect of the funding lapse is a severe tightening of market liquidity. With budget execution on hold, the balance in the US Treasury General Account (TGA) has ballooned to $983 billion—the highest level in a year. This represents money intended for circulation that has been locked away for over a month.
Financial influencer and RealVision founder, Raoul Pal, pointed to the TGA buildup as the source of the market stress. “Currently, the government shutdown has forced a sharp tightening of liquidity as the TGA builds up with nowhere to spend it. This is hitting markets, and in particular crypto, which is the most liquidity-driven,” Pal noted.
Pal predicts that the end of the government shutdown will serve as the upside momentum. This is the momentum needed to reverse the recent slump in the cryptocurrency market.
He expects that once the shutdown concludes, the Treasury will inject an estimated $250 billion to $350 billion back into the economy within a couple of months. “QT ends, and the balance sheet technically expands,” he stated.

Political Impasse Clouding Resolution
However, the path to ending the shutdown remains highly uncertain. A resolution requires Democrats and Republicans in Congress to agree on next year’s budget. According to US political publication Politico, a core sticking point is the Democratic demand to extend health insurance subsidies set to expire this year—a demand the Republican party strongly opposes.
Betting markets reflect the ongoing gridlock. Data from the prediction platform Polymarket shows that market participants currently view a resolution after November 16 (46%) as the most likely outcome. Furthermore, the platform indicates the possibility of a dramatic breakthrough this coming weekend (November 8–11) sits at only 32%.
