Ethereum News Today: Corporations Boost ETH Holdings by 23.2% in Q2 2025 Driving Price Surge

In 2025, a notable trend has emerged among various organizations, which are increasingly incorporating leading alternative coins into their financial holdings. This shift is particularly evident with ethereum (ETH), as firms are drawn to its appeal as a yield-earning asset through staking. This trend has contributed to the upward push on ETH prices, driven not only by interest in spot ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but also by growing corporate demand.

One of the most prominent examples is Bitmine, a publicly traded company that initially focused on bitcoin mining but has since expanded into ETH accumulation. As of July 17, 2025, Bitmine disclosed holdings of 300,657 ETH, with 60,000 of these acquired through options backed by $200 million in cash. By July 20, the firm’s ETH holdings were valued at $1.12 billion. Sharplink Gaming is another significant player, holding approximately 280,706 ETH as of its latest filing. With fresh capital secured, Sharplink is poised to further increase its ETH stash.

Bit Digital has also quietly become a major player in the ETH treasury game. As of July 20, 2025, the firm holds 120,306 ETH, following its latest acquisition of 19,683 ETH using proceeds from a $67.3 million direct offering to institutional investors. Bit Digital operates its own validators and stakes the majority of its holdings, solidifying its position among the largest ETH holders in public markets.

Ether Capital Corporation holds 46,274 ETH, with 98% of that staked as of its Q1 2024 report. However, there have been no updates or new filings since then, so this figure remains the latest public tally. BTCS Inc. holds 29,122 ETH as of July 11, with a mixed approach to staking and collateralization. The company stakes 4,160 ETH via Rocket Pool, 6,300 via solo nodes, and has 4,382 ETH waiting in the queue. The remaining 14,280 ETH is posted as collateral on Aave, with a debt-to-assets ratio of 24%, allowing BTCS to leverage both the defi and TradFi angles.

Intchains Group reported holdings of 7,023 ETH as of March 31, 2025, marking a 23.2% increase from the previous quarter. No fresh updates have been released since, so this number remains the most reliable snapshot of its holdings. Gamesquare Holdings recently acquired 1,818.84 ETH for $5 million at a weighted average price of $2,749 per coin, with plans to buy more following a $70 million offering. Exodus Movement Inc. holds 2,729 ETH in its treasury, while Vault Ventures PLC has increased its holdings to 711.93 ETH as of July 18, following a fresh purchase of 58.45 ETH. Mogo Inc. holds a modest 146 ETH, with its focus recently shifting more toward bitcoin, leaving its ETH strategy on pause.

This trend of firms amassing significant amounts of ETH reflects a broader institutional interest in the cryptocurrency. As more companies recognize the potential of ETH as a yield-earning asset, it is becoming an integral part of their treasury strategies. This growing adoption is likely to further bolster ETH's position in the market, making it a staple in corporate financial holdings.
