ETH gains ground in corporate treasuries with GameSquare’s $100M pivot
More corporate heavyweights are turning to Ethereum as a treasury reserve asset, and Nasdaq-listed GameSquare is the latest to join in.
According to a July 8 press release , the entertainment and technology company has launched an Ethereum ( ETH ) treasury strategy. The company kicked off the move with an $8 million underwritten public offering, with most of the capital set to flow directly into Ethereum yield opportunities.
For the long term, GameSquare’s board has approved up to $100 million in ETH allocations, to be deployed gradually while preserving enough liquidity to fund its operations.
The firm has also partnered with Swiss crypto investment firm Dialectic to generate returns on its holdings, using Medici, an automated Ethereum-native yield platform.
Commenting on the move, GameSquare CEO Justin Kenna said the shift aligns with the company’s footprint in gaming, technology, and media, and reflects growing institutional adoption of digital assets. He added that the new treasury strategy will enhance financial flexibility and support a capital plan that is focused on continued ETH accumulation.
GameSquare’s adoption comes as more public companies turn to Ethereum for long-term reserves. Another Nasdaq-listed firm, Bit Digital, recently disclosed it had gone all-in on Ether, selling off its entire Bitcoin ( BTC ) holdings to expand its ETH position.
Similarly, SharpLink Gaming has been on an aggressive accumulation streak , building out its own Ethereum treasury reserve. The firm is now the world’s second-largest ETH holder, behind only the Ethereum Foundation.
Following its announcement, GameSquare’s stock jumped roughly 60%, reflecting strong investor support for the shift. Meanwhile, the increased adoption is translating into price action for ETH.
The asset trades around $2,625 at the time of writing, up 2.8% in the past 24 hours and nearly 7% on the week. While gains remain modest, current prices mark a decent recovery after several weeks of underperformance.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
