According to the most recent 13F filings, the company secured one of the broadest institutional bases among all Ethereum-focused digital asset treasury companies.

CEO Joseph Chalom emphasized that Sharplink keeps nearly 100% of its ETH holdings staked at all times, a deliberate management decision that prioritizes yield productivity over immediate liquidity, even during volatile market conditions.
Brand Refresh and Leadership Expansion
Alongside the institutional milestone, Sharplink launched a comprehensive brand overhaul. The redesigned website at www.sharplink.com now features a live treasury dashboard, a dedicated Ethereum opportunity page, and an updated investor relations section. The company’s new tagline — “Ethereum with an Edge” — captures its commitment to yield productivity, operational discipline, and exclusive exposure to Ethereum.
Sharplink also appointed veteran crypto journalist Steven Ehrlich as Head of Research and Communications. Ehrlich previously served as Senior Editor and Director of Research, Digital Assets at Forbes, and most recently held the role of Executive Editor at Unchained, where he hosts the weekly podcast Bits + Bips: The Interview. In his new position, Ehrlich takes charge of deepening Sharplink’s reach across both institutional and retail audiences.
The combination of record institutional ownership, a refreshed brand identity, and a high-profile media hire signals that Sharplink is positioning itself for greater public visibility and institutional credibility heading into 2026.
