SharpLink Gaming’s Ether holdings have surged in value, as the cryptocurrency rose nearly 4.5% in the last 24 hours, bringing the company’s unrealized gains close to $1 billion.
On Tuesday, the company announced that its unrealized profit from Ether (ETH) purchases has exceeded $900 million since the initiation of its accumulation strategy on June 2.
Data from Strategic ETH Reserve indicates that SharpLink holds 838,730 ETH on its balance sheet, valued at approximately $3.93 billion at current prices. This positions the company as one of the largest ETH holders, controlling 0.69% of the total supply.
“With 839k ETH on our balance sheet and no debt, SharpLink is well-positioned to continue generating value for shareholders,” the company stated in the post.
SharpLink holds nearly 839,000 ETH
SharpLink’s gains were boosted by Ether’s recent rise to $4,700 on Tuesday, a nearly 5% increase compared to Monday’s price around $4,500.
The company added that its ETH concentration per share has nearly doubled since the start of the accumulation program, enhancing potential earnings for shareholders.
“This demonstrates the power of a productive and yield-bearing asset like ETH,” the company remarked.
Strategic ETH Reserve data revealed how SharpLink increased its position through steady purchases over the summer. Initial acquisitions included 176,300 ETH, followed by multiple buying waves in July and August.
Since September, the holdings have stabilized around the 839,000 ETH mark, but the rise in ETH prices has significantly increased the value of its holdings.
