- $64.0 Million Raised Through ATM Facility Between June 28-July 4 of Which $37.2 Million to Be Deployed in the Purchase of ETH This Week

- ETH Concentration Grew to 2.37 ETH
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBET) (“SharpLink” or the “Company”), the world’s largest publicly traded company to adopt Ethereum (ETH) as its primary treasury reserve asset, today announced the acquisition of an additional 7,689 ETH for the week June 28 through July 4, 2025, purchased at a weighted average price of $2,501 per ETH, inclusive of fees and related transaction expenses. The Company’s total ETH holdings now stand at 205,634.
To continue supporting this strategic expansion, SharpLink raised approximately $64.0 million in net proceeds during the same period through its At-The-Market (“ATM”) facility, selling 5,499,845 shares of its common stock. Of these total net proceeds, approximately $37.2 million was raised on July 3, 2025, but has yet to be allocated to ETH purchases as of the close of business that same day. A large portion of this capital is expected to be deployed in the current week.
As of July 4, 2025, SharpLink has committed 100% of its ETH holdings to staking and restaking protocols, continuing to optimize its yield-generation strategy. Between June 28 and July 4, 2025, the Company earned approximately 100 ETH through staking rewards, contributing to a total estimated reward yield of 322 ETH since initiating this program on June 2, 2025.
To further enhance visibility into its treasury performance, SharpLink recently introduced “ETH Concentration” — a novel transparency metric designed to help investors assess the Company’s ETH exposure relative to its equity structure.
ETH Concentration is calculated by dividing total ETH held by 1,000 Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding.
This figure encompasses all shares issued and outstanding as of each reporting period, including shares sold under the ATM facility, as well as shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. Notably, it excludes adjustments typically made under the treasury stock method, such as vesting conditions or exercise prices.
Since the initial announcement of its ETH purchases on June 13, 2025, SharpLink’s ETH Concentration has grown steadily, rising from 2.00 ETH to 2.37 ETH — representing a 19% increase in just three weeks (excluding common stock shares related to the $37.2 million still to be deployed in the purchase of ETH).
Joseph Lubin, SharpLink Chairman, Co-Founder of Ethereum and Founder and CEO of Consensys, commented, “Our sustained success is a direct result of SharpLink’s disciplined execution of its ETH-centric treasury management strategy and its unwavering commitment to operational transparency. By continuously refining our treasury strategy and adopting innovative transparency metrics like ETH Concentration, we’re not only maximizing long-term value for shareholders but also setting a new benchmark for responsible digital asset stewardship in today’s public markets.”

Commentary on the Genius Act
SharpLink applauds the recent signing of the Genius Act into law by President Donald J. Trump, which marks a watershed moment for the digital asset and blockchain industries. The bipartisan legislation establishes a clear regulatory framework for digital assets and smart contract protocols in the United States, providing long-awaited clarity for companies like SharpLink that are actively integrating blockchain technologies into their platforms. This historic legislation is expected to unlock new opportunities for innovation, investment and institutional adoption, and helps to affirm SharpLink’s short- and long-term digital asset growth strategies.
Lubin continued, “With the Genius Act now law, the regulatory uncertainty that has surrounded crypto innovation is finally easing. We believe this ushers in a more supportive environment for companies like SharpLink to not only operate and grow, but also to harness the full potential of Ethereum — including its security, scalability and smart contract utility — to drive profound, transformative change across the global digital economy.”
