Sharplink’s Ethereum Strategy Draws Institutional Capital

Miami-based Sharplink, Inc. explained on Thursday that institutional investors owned 46% of its common stock as of Dec. 31, 2025, according to the latest Form 13F filings. During the fourth quarter alone, the company added about 60 new institutional holders, expanding its footprint among publicly traded ethereum-focused treasury vehicles.

As of Feb. 15, 2026, Sharplink’s ETH position totaled 867,798 coins. That figure includes 587,232 native ETH, 225,429 ETH as if redeemed from LsETH and 55,137 ETH as if redeemed from WeETH. The company said it has generated 13,615 ETH in staking rewards since June 2025, with nearly 100% of its holdings staked.

Chief Executive Officer Joseph Chalom framed the strategy as disciplined rather than flashy, emphasizing staking productivity and risk management. Even as crypto markets swing, the firm says it continues increasing ETH concentration per share and directing staking rewards to stockholders. Bitmine, another digital asset treasury (DAT) firm focused on ETH, also stakes a large portion of its ether balance sheet.

Sharplink also disclosed that it launched a brand refresh, including a redesigned website, investor relations portal and treasury dashboard. Its new tagline, “Ethereum with an Edge,” signals a sharpened focus on yield generation and operational rigor, while staying exclusively tied to Ethereum’s ecosystem.

The company further expanded its leadership team, appointing veteran journalist Steven Ehrlich as head of research and communications. Ehrlich previously led digital asset coverage at Forbes and most recently served as executive editor at Unchained.

Sharplink positions itself as an institutional-grade ethereum treasury platform, offering public market investors exposure to ETH and its staking yield. With nearly 870,000 ETH on its books and institutional ownership approaching half its float, the company is betting that Ethereum’s role in stablecoins, tokenized assets and decentralized finance will continue to command attention.

Still, all eyes have been keenly focused on DATs as the crypto market deals with the brunt of a bear market. Onlookers wonder if DATs can handle the pressure if crypto prices slide lower. Sharplink shares have lost 35% over the last month and all-time stats logged by tradingview.com indicate that SBET shares are down 99%.
