What SharpLink does

SharpLink, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBET), formerly SharpLink Gaming, Inc., is a publicly traded digital asset treasury company that pivoted in mid-2025 from a legacy online affiliate marketing business connecting regulated sports betting and iGaming operators with end customers to an institutional-grade Ethereum treasury platform. As of May 4, 2026, the company held 872,984 ETH (approximately $1.72 billion at February 2026 prices) and staked 100% of its holdings from inception, passing all native staking rewards through to shareholders without fee skimming. The company was added to the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes effective June 29, 2026, with institutional ownership of its common stock at approximately 46% as of December 31, 2025.

The company's core technology combines native protocol staking, onchain DeFi yield strategies, and an in-house treasury management operating system that replaced Galaxy Digital and ParaFi Capital as discretionary managers effective May 31, 2026. A multi-year $200 million deployment of ETH is in progress onto ConsenSys' Linea Layer 2 zkEVM, combining ether.fi liquid staking with EigenCloud restaking under Anchorage Digital Bank custody. SharpLink also operates the $125 million Galaxy Sharplink Onchain Yield Fund, LP with Galaxy Digital and maintains a public, real-time ETH Dashboard at sharplink.com/dashboard. Strategic partnerships span ConsenSys (MetaMask, Linea), Galaxy Digital, ether.fi, EigenCloud, and Anchorage Digital Bank, with co-funding of the Ethlabs nonprofit R&D initiative alongside Bitmine Immersion Technologies and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin.

SharpLink generates revenue primarily through Ethereum staking rewards (~$1.1 million weekly / $15.3 million quarterly in Q4 2025; ~15,000 ETH cumulative since June 2025) and onchain DeFi yield, supplemented by its legacy affiliate marketing business. Capital formation occurs through public-market equity issuance — over $676 million raised across three registered direct offerings in 2025, a $425 million PIPE in June 2025, ATM facility proceeds, and a $75 million registered direct offering in June 2026 — with proceeds earmarked for additional ETH accumulation. The company is led by Joseph Chalom (former BlackRock digital asset chief, CEO) and Joseph Lubin (Ethereum co-founder, board director).

The company stakes 100% of its ETH holdings, passes 100% of staking yield to shareholders with no fee skimming, and compounds ETH per share through public-market capital formation and onchain strategies such as the $200M Linea zkEVM deployment and the Galaxy Sharplink Onchain Yield Fund. It also retains a legacy online affiliate marketing business connecting regulated sports betting and iGaming operators with potential customers.

Direct peers

• Bitmine Immersion Technologies: Public corporate ETH treasury holding ~5.42M ETH (~4.49% of total supply), added to Russell 1000 in June 2026. Most directly comparable to SharpLink as a Nasdaq-listed ETH treasury company co-funder of Ethlabs with SharpLink and Lubin.
• MicroStrategy (now Strategy): Pioneer of the public-company digital asset treasury model, holding ~500K+ BTC. Closest comparable on the public-equity-as-crypto-treasury-vehicle model, including ATM/convertible-funded accumulation, though BTC-focused rather than ETH.
• BTCS Inc. Nasdaq-listed blockchain technology company building a corporate ETH treasury with staking and DeFi yield strategies. Directly comparable as a smaller-cap ETH-treasury public company pursuing similar institutional staking economics.
• Marathon Digital Holdings: Public crypto treasury / mining company accumulating digital assets on balance sheet, comparable as a public-markets crypto-treasury vehicle, though predominantly BTC-focused and exposed to mining economics.
• Hut 8 Corp. Public crypto infrastructure and treasury company combining mining with digital asset holdings, comparable as a public-markets digital asset treasury with diversified revenue streams and institutional exposure.

Broad incumbents

• Galaxy Digital Holdings: Full-service crypto financial services firm and SharpLink's strategic partner in the Galaxy Sharplink Onchain Yield Fund ($125M) and a partner on 15+ corporate crypto-treasury initiatives collectively committing $4B+. Comparable as a broader institutional crypto-asset manager and ETH yield provider.
• Coinbase Global: Largest US-based crypto exchange providing ETH custody, staking (with the very fee skimming SharpLink attacks), and institutional services. Comparable as the dominant incumbent in institutional ETH access that SharpLink positions against on yield passthrough.

Emerging players

• ETHZilla: Emerging public-company ETH treasury vehicle pursuing a similar staking/DeFi yield strategy. Directly comparable as a peer ETH-treasury firm competing for institutional capital and index inclusion in the same category.

Others

• Consensys: Builder of MetaMask, Linea, and core Ethereum infrastructure; SharpLink's primary strategic partner and investor via the $425M PIPE. Comparable as an enabling ecosystem participant that provides Linea L2, ether.fi integrations, and preferential incentives underpinning SharpLink's yield stack.
• Anchorage Digital Bank: OCC-chartered digital asset bank providing institutional custody and staking infrastructure. Comparable as the institutional-grade custodian enabling SharpLink's $200M Linea deployment and core to its regulated-custody value proposition.
