Sharplink, a leading advocate for Ethereum-focused digital asset treasuries, announced a series of major milestones on Thursday that signify its rapid ascent in the institutional finance space. Summary Sharplink now holds 867,798 ETH (valued at $1.72B), making it one of the largest corporate Ethereum holders in the world. The company stakes nearly 100% of its holdings, having already generated 13,615 ETH in rewards that accrue directly to stockholder value. The appointment of Steven Ehrlich (formerly of Forbes) is designed to amplify Sharplink’s mission as the primary “productive treasury” vehicle for Ethereum exposure. The company revealed that institutional ownership has surged to 46%, a record level that CEO Joseph Chalom attributes to the firm’s disciplined, “productivity-first” approach to Ethereum. As of February 15, 2026, Sharplink’s treasury holds 867,798 ETH, valued at approximately $1.72 billion. Unlike many digital asset holders that keep assets in “cold storage,” Sharplink has distinguished itself by staking nearly 100% of its holdings. This strategy has generated over 13,000 ETH in staking rewards since June 2025 alone. “Institutions know they can trust us to keep generating long-term value,” Chalom stated, emphasizing that the firm continues to grow its ETH concentration per share regardless of market volatility. “Ethereum with an edge”: Sharplink rebrands To match its growing institutional profile, the company launched a comprehensive brand refresh under the tagline “Ethereum with an Edge.” The rebrand includes a redesigned investor platform and a dedicated Ethereum treasury dashboard, aiming to provide total transparency for stockholders tracking yield and network growth. Parallel to the visual update, Sharplink is bolstering its intellectual capital with the appointment of Steven Ehrlich as Head of Research and Communications. Ehrlich, a heavyweight in crypto journalism with a pedigree at Forbes and Unchained, will be tasked with clarifying the “Ethereum opportunity” for a broader audience. By combining massive ETH accumulation with institutional-grade risk management and high-level communications, Sharplink is positioning itself as the primary vehicle for public market investors seeking productive exposure to the decentralized finance (DeFi) backbone. As the Ethereum ecosystem continues to host the majority of tokenized real-world assets, Sharplink’s “staked treasury” model may become the new blueprint for digital asset corporations.
