Sharplink reported a $734.6 million net loss for 2025, largely due to market volatility impacting its Ethereum holdings. The company experienced $616.2 million in unrealized losses from ETH price declines and a $140.2 million impairment on LsETH, partially offset by $55.2 million in realized gains.
Despite the loss, Sharplink's total revenue rose to $28.1 million in 2025. The company is transitioning into an institutional Ethereum treasury platform, having raised approximately $3.2 billion and accumulated 868,699 ETH by early 2026. This strategy aims to boost ETH per share and generate yield through staking.
CEO Joseph Chalom highlighted 2025 as a defining year, with the firm completing its shift to an Ethereum-focused treasury model. Sharplink launched its dedicated ETH treasury strategy in June 2025, becoming the second-largest publicly traded holder of Ethereum by early March 2026. The company also increased its ETH concentration per share and generated 14,516 ETH in staking rewards.
Fourth-quarter staking revenue reached $15.3 million, a nearly 50% increase from the previous quarter. Chairman Joseph Lubin noted accelerated institutional adoption on Ethereum in 2025, anticipating continued demand for its role as a decentralized trust and settlement layer. Sharplink plans to further increase ETH per share, expand yield strategies, and deepen ecosystem partnerships.
Sharplink shares saw a slight increase on the day but remain significantly down from their peak after announcing the Ethereum treasury strategy. Ether was trading near $2,000 amidst a broader market rally.
