SharpLink Stakes $200M in Ethereum via Lido, Unlocking DeFi Liquidity
SBET sits 41% above its 52-week low of $4.46.
Summary
SharpLink is deploying $200 million of its Ethereum treasury into Lido's liquid staking protocol, receiving wstETH tokens held with Anchorage Digital. This follows the company's Q2 report showing $11.2M in staking revenue and a $321M unrealized loss on ETH holdings. The move converts a passive reserve into an active DeFi portfolio, maintaining staking yield while enabling collateral use across 100+ protocols. CEO Joseph Chalom frames it as treasury diversification with institutional risk standards. The allocation is material relative to the company's 888,938 ETH position and signals continued aggressive treasury management.
