- On February 8, 2024, regained full compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Standards.

Continuing, Phythian said, “Given our strengthened balance sheet; our highly engaged Board comprised of world class, accomplished business executives; and our shared commitment to a strategy that is expected to empower us to capitalize on potentially compelling growth opportunities in the sports, entertainment and media industries, SharpLink has great hopes for our Company’s future. We plan to continue to enhance our value proposition to our sportsbooks and casino operator partners, while also actively seeking opportunities to expand our iGaming affiliate marketing network into new U.S and international markets where online sports betting and casino gaming have been legalized. Moreover, we intend to continue executing our strategic transformation with clarity and focus, and in doing so, we hope to deliver strong, sustainable value creation for our fellow shareholders for many years to come.”
“Unlocking SharpLink’s next phase of growth with purpose and cost-discipline will be key to our long-term success and should provide us with greater agility as we build momentum and look to accelerate our growth prospects as 2024 unfolds. To help support our mission and continued strategic transformation, we have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC and accompanying prospectus for an At-The-Market offering (“ATM”) which we may utilize to raise growth capital if and when market conditions permit. We have identified other measures that we may also pursue to optimize our assets and further strengthen the foundation on which we are building the ‘new’ SharpLink. Over the course of the next several months, I look forward to sharing many more details on our plans and future ambitions,” concluded Phythian.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SharpLink Gaming, Inc.

This move represents a natural extension of SharpLink’s innovative DNA and our commitment to staying at the forefront of industry transformation.”
SharpLink’s decision to incorporate Ethereum into its treasury signals a broader institutional acknowledgment of digital assets’ growing legitimacy and utility. It also highlights the Company’s commitment to not only leveraging blockchain technology in its product ecosystem but also in its financial strategy.
“Ringing the Nasdaq closing bell is more than symbolic for SharpLink. It marks a bold new chapter,” added SharpLink CEO Rob Phythian. “We’re proud to be among the trailblazers demonstrating how digital assets can coexist with public market discipline and corporate governance. This is just the beginning of our journey toward embedding decentralized trust into everything we do.”
The closing bell ceremony will be broadcast live from the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York City and can be viewed at: https://www.nasdaq.com/marketsite/bell-ringing-ceremony.

CORRECTION: SharpLink Gaming Increases ETH Treasury Holdings to 198,167; Staking Rewards Yield 222 ETH Since June 2, 2025

Company Appoints Elevate IR as Investor Relations Firm of Record
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET) (“SharpLink” or the “Company”), the largest publicly traded holder of Ethereum (“ETH”) in the world, today announced that the Company has strategically increased its total holdings of ETH to 198,167, acquiring an additional 9,468 ETH for $22,825,734 (inclusive of fees and expenses) at a weighted average price of $2,411 per ETH (inclusive of fees and expenses) during the period June 23, 2025 through June 27, 2025.
In addition, during that same period SharpLink raised approximately $24.4 million in net proceeds through its At-The-Market facility (“ATM”), selling 2,525,637 shares of the Company’s common stock. A majority of the ATM proceeds from these sales will be used to further increase SharpLink’s ETH treasury holdings.
Joseph Lubin, SharpLink Chairman and Co-Founder of Ethereum, stated, “We are entering a new era where digital assets like Ethereum are no longer speculative instruments – they are fast becoming the strategic currency of the modern digital economy. By embedding Ethereum at the core of our capital strategy, we are doing more than optimizing SharpLink’s balance sheet. We are positioning the Company to command global leadership of the evolution of digital commerce.”
As of June 30, 2025, 100% of SharpLink’s ETH reserves have been deployed in staking protocols. During the period June 21, 2025 through June 27, 2025, SharpLink earned 102 ETH in rewards.
To enhance transparency into the Company’s yield performance, SharpLink introduced a new reporting metric called “ETH Concentration.” This metric is calculated by dividing the number of ETH SharpLink holds by 1,000 assumed diluted shares issued and outstanding (“Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding”). Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding represents the sum of (i) SharpLink’s actual shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the end of each reporting period, inclusive of disclosed ATM sales, plus (ii) the additional shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise or settlement of all outstanding warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock option awards, and restricted stock units. Notably, Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury stock method. It does not account for equity award vesting conditions, stock option exercise prices, or contractual restrictions limiting the convertibility of debt instruments. Additionally, it excludes any assumed share repurchases that would ordinarily be considered under the treasury stock method.
Based on the Company’s first aggregated acquisitions of ETH announced on June 13, 2025, SharpLink’s initial ETH Concentration was 2.00 ETH and has since increased each week, now up 17.7% to 2.35 ETH as of June 27, 2025.
SharpLink also announced the engagement of Elevate IR, a premier financial communications and capital markets advisory firm, as its investor relations agency of record. As part of the engagement, Elevate IR will collaborate closely with SharpLink’s executive leadership to craft and execute a comprehensive investor relations and communications strategy tailored to the Company’s evolving priorities.
“Ethereum is more than a treasury asset — it’s the financial foundation for what we believe will become the next generation of capital management and online gaming infrastructure,” said Rob Phythian, CEO of SharpLink Gaming. “To support our accelerating growth, we’re committed to working with sophisticated partners like Elevate IR to ensure that our story, strategy and shareholder value proposition are clearly communicated to all stakeholders.”
