SharpLink Moves ETH to Galaxy Digital Amid $479 Million in Unrealized Losses

SharpLink — the first publicly listed company to use Ethereum (ETH) as its primary reserve asset — is drawing attention after moving ETH to an OTC exchange. The transfer comes as ETH has dropped more than 20% in November. The move has triggered speculation that SharpLink may be selling to cut losses or restructuring its portfolio.

CoinGecko data reveals that SharpLink’s average purchase price is $3,609. ETH is now falling toward the $3,000 level. The company made its most recent purchase one month ago and has not added to its position since then. SharpLink ETH Purchases.

SharpLink is currently the second-largest ETH-holding institution after Bitmine. The company holds 859,853 ETH, representing 0.712% of the total ETH supply, valued at more than $2.6 billion. Meanwhile, SBET shares have fallen from above $80 — when SharpLink began its ETH reserve strategy — to $10.55 today. This marks a decline of more than 86%. SBET now trades at a 19% discount to NAV.

Purchases are no longer occurring daily, as was the case in previous months. The shift signals a change in sentiment, from aggressive accumulation to caution, toward the end of 2025. SharpLink Maintains Commitment to its ETH Accumulation Strategy Despite Price Declines However, in its latest announcement on X, SharpLink reported generating 336 ETH in staking rewards last week. This brings its total staking-reward accumulation to 7,403 ETH, equivalent to approximately $1.1 million in generated value. SharpLink Cumulative Staking Rewards.

This indicates a long-term commitment to its strategy despite market volatility. “Our treasury continues to generate value regardless of price,” SharpLink stated. SharpLink Gaming reported Q3 2025 revenue of $10.8 million, up 1,100% year-over-year. Net income reached $104.3 million, driven by the firm’s Ethereum treasury strategy. The report made SharpLink one of the first ETH-based DATs to post positive earnings. SharpLink’s actions, along with those of other ETH-focused DATs, show that these entities are betting on a much larger long-term play. Recently, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said that only complex, value-adding DATs deserve premiums, while passive DATs risk trading at discounts.
