BREAKING:
SHARPLINK JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER 108.57M WORTH OF $ETH.
Just two hours after the initial purchase, SharpLink transferred an additional $55.56 million in USDC to Galaxy Digital. This suggests further Ethereum accumulation is underway. The buying appears to follow a structured institutional strategy, similar to MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin playbook.
Crypto-related analytical tools (like Arkham Intelligence) detected quite a number of transactions of the type Deposit Request to an address labeled SharpLink Deposit. The transfers were conducted with the help of numerous wallets with certain prefixes, 0x8c6, 0xf8f, and 0xdef indicating the existence of coordinated multi-wallet use.
Coordinated OTC Transfers and Accumulation Model
Galaxy Digital reportedly facilitated the over-the-counter (OTC) acquisition of ETH, helping SharpLink avoid public exchange slippage. EmberCN and other blockchain analytics firms confirmed that Galaxy Digital previously received $145 million in USDC from SharpLink. This capital was likely used to accumulate ETH over multiple phases. Following this, Galaxy withdrew 38,600 ETH directly from Binance and rerouted the assets to SharpLink’s custodial wallets.
The company was able to conduct a massive acquisition of 77,210 ETH worth 295 million earlier this year. After the last transaction, the holdings of this company reached 438,017 ETH. The majority of these holdings, more than 95 per cent, have been staked or put into liquid staking protocols, presenting returns without loss of fluidity.

SharpLink began its ETH acquisition strategy in early June 2025. In less than two months, the company has averaged a purchase price of $3,029 per ETH. With current valuations, this grants SharpLink an unrealized gain of $214 million. Such structured buying activity has placed the company among the top institutional ETH holders worldwide.
Is Ethereum Becoming a Corporate Treasury Standard?
Analysts at Standard Chartered say Ethereum’s structural demand is reaching unprecedented levels. Market researcher Crypt Rover projects Ethereum could test the $10,000 range as institutional adoption accelerates.
SharpLink’s accumulation model and staking integration reflect a broader shift among corporates treating Ethereum as a strategic balance sheet asset.
