At ETHZilla, our ongoing capital deployment is designed to enhance our Ethereum treasury strategy with precision and unprecedented speed. As we continue to expand our ETH reserves and explore unique yield opportunities, our robust stock repurchase program at the present stock price reflects our unwavering dedication to maximizing shareholder value.

ETHZilla’s Ethereum portfolio now exceeds $489 million in value, positioning the firm as the fourth-largest publicly traded company with substantial Ethereum reserves.

Data from CoinGecko indicates that Bitmine Immersion, a digital asset mining company, is the global leader with an impressive 1.7 million ETH in its reserves, followed by SharpLink with over 740,000 ETH. Despite this, ETHZilla maintains a substantial cash equivalent of around $215 million. Following the recent announcement, ETHZilla’s stock experienced a 6% surge, trading above $3.50. The stock has seen a remarkable 92% increase year-to-date.

Is Ethereum Adoption Surpassing Bitcoin?

While incorporating Bitcoin into corporate treasuries has been a trend for several years, 2025 has witnessed a growing number of companies adopting Ethereum as part of their financial strategies. This shift highlights Ethereum’s increasing appeal in the corporate world.

This year, a diverse spectrum of businesses has started integrating ETH into their treasuries. For instance, Nasdaq-listed SharpLink Gaming recently announced another substantial ETH acquisition, bringing its total holdings to an impressive $3 billion. Likewise, BTCS Inc., a publicly traded company, revealed its purchase of over 14,500 ETH last week, securing its position as the sixth-largest Ethereum-holding firm, with more than 70,000 ETH in reserves.

GameSquare, another Nasdaq-listed software company, has committed $5 million to ETH investments as part of a broader strategy to allocate up to $100 million into Ethereum and other digital assets. The ripple effects of a robust corporate demand for Ethereum are evident in the performance of ETH-based crypto investment products. In July 2025 alone, ETH-based investment products recorded inflows totaling $907 million.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency analysts continue to set ambitious Ethereum price targets, with some predicting values as high as $10,000 per ETH. At the time of writing, Ethereum is priced at $4,635, representing a 3.9% decrease over the past 24 hours.
