Ethereum News Today: Corporate Ethereum Holdings Surge 250% in July Driven by ETF Momentum

Public companies have increasingly turned to Ethereum (ETH) as a strategic treasury asset, with institutional adoption showing marked acceleration in mid-2025. Corporate Ethereum holdings have surged by 250% in July alone, reaching a total value of $10.53 billion across 65 firms. These entities collectively now control 2.73 million ETH—representing 2.26% of the total supply [4]. This rapid accumulation is largely attributed to the success of U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, which have seen $5.4 billion in net inflows since July 3, contributing to Ethereum’s strongest monthly performance since 2022 [2].

Among the top ETH holders are Bitmine Immersion Tech, which controls over 1.3 million ETH, and Coinbase, with 137.3K ETH in its treasury. Bitmine’s holdings alone surpass those of the Ethereum Foundation, signaling a shift from decentralized governance to corporate-driven institutional involvement [4]. Meanwhile, firms like BTCS are taking aggressive steps to expand their exposure, with plans to raise $2 billion to boost Ethereum holdings [6]. SharpLink Gaming also increased its ETH holdings by $43 million, bringing its total to nearly 450,000 ETH [7].

The trend is supported by on-chain monitoring tools that highlight increased transparency and liquidity from institutional wallets. Coinbase, for instance, has emphasized its commitment to secure and transparent asset management, stating that clients’ funds are held in segregated accounts and are subject to regular audits [1]. This institutional confidence has helped Ethereum establish itself as a reliable store of value within corporate portfolios, thanks to its decentralized infrastructure and robust security framework [8].

Analysts have noted that the top 10 corporate Ethereum holders now control 1% of the total supply, reflecting a maturing institutional perspective toward crypto assets. Enmanuel Cardozo of a market analytics firm has described this as a fundamental realignment in how public companies evaluate Ethereum’s long-term value [3]. While regulatory clarity and macroeconomic factors will continue to shape the trajectory of corporate Ethereum adoption, the current momentum suggests a growing acceptance of crypto as a legitimate asset class.
