180 Life Sciences, an Ethereum treasury firm backed by Peter Thiel’s investor group, said Monday it has officially rebranded as ETHZilla. The company is now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “ETHZ” and “ETHZW.”
Discussing the company’s rebranding, Executive Chairman McAndrew Rudisill said the move was part of ETHZilla’s plan to position itself as a top Ethereum treasury play.
“We are embracing our identity as ETHZilla and our commitment to developing a market-leading strategy that seeks to bring the value of Ethereum to investors in the public markets,” said Rudisill in a statement.
ETHZilla currently holds 94,675 ETH worth more than $405 million at current market prices. That makes it the fifth-largest public company holding Ethereum. It trails BitMine Immersion, SharpLink Gaming, Coinbase, and Bit Digital.
ETHZilla’s rebrand follows recent private placement and convertible note offerings that generated roughly $565 million in gross proceeds. The PIPE drew participation from over 60 institutional and crypto-focused investors, including Harbour Island, Electric Capital, Polychain Capital, GSR, Borderless Capital, and Omicron Technologies, among others.
“We are launching this new brand and our new treasury strategy with significant interest from the market and valuable partnerships with prominent Ethereum ecosystem founders and leaders,” Rudisill stated.
ETHZilla has appointed Electric Capital as its external asset manager to implement an on-chain yield program intended to surpass conventional ETH staking returns. The firm continues to operate its iGaming business and is pursuing opportunities to monetize its biotech IP portfolio.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy.
