As previously reported, SharpLink recently introduced a proprietary metric known as “ETH Concentration.” This metric is designed to gauge the Company’s ETH exposure relative to its capital structure.

ETH Concentration is calculated as: Total ETH Held ÷ 1,000 Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding.

Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding includes all issued and outstanding shares, ATM sales and shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock options and restricted stock units – excluding treasury method adjustments. Since ETH purchases commenced the week beginning on June 13, 2025, SharpLink’s ETH Concentration has risen from 2.00 ETH to 2.46 ETH as of July 13, 2025, marking a 23% increase in just over one month with approximately $257 million still to be deployed.

• 7,689 ETH Acquired Last Week at Weighted Average Price of $2,501 per ETH
• Total ETH Holdings Rise to 205,634
• $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 Rewards Increased to 322 ETH
• 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.”
