The company stated that this move served to innovate and find the most productive way to hold ether with institutional-grade infrastructure, using Consensys’ Linea to accomplish this task. Sharplink announced plans to deploy these funds back in October.
Sharplink Bets on Linea’s DeFi Capabilities With $170 Million ETH Deployment
Sharplink (SBET), the second-largest ether-based digital asset treasury (DAT) company, has announced a new capital deployment to keep diversifying its yield sources.
The company recently announced that it had deployed $170 million worth of ETH on Linea, Consensys’ layer 2 rollup, in a first-of-its-kind enhanced yield arrangement. This strategy combines native Ethereum staking rewards with restaking yield from Eigencloud and direct incentives from Linea and ether.fi, under the custody of Anchorage Digital.
“This is the most productive way to hold ETH with institutional-grade infrastructure. That’s the SharpLink edge,” the company declared.
The move can yield an additional $10 million from the $170 million deployed, according to Milkroad, and depending on its results, can also push other companies to implement similar strategies to increase income from staked cryptocurrencies.
This is the belief of Joseph Chalom, CEO of Sharplink, as he stated that 2026 marked the beginning of “Ethereum’s ‘productive era’ and a major step function in its adoption curve,” stressing that this is what “institutional-grade productivity” looked like.
In October, Sharplink announced that it would be moving $200 million worth of ETH to Linea, hinting at this development. At that time, Chalom stated that it would give Sharplink access to “the best of Ethereum’s staking, restaking and DeFi yield, while maintaining the institutional safeguards our stockholders expect.”
Sharplink currently holds 859,853 ETH according to its last registered purchase announcement on October 21. At that time, Sharplink’s stash was valued at nearly $3.5 billion. The company also revealed that it has accrued 10,657 ETH through staking since launching its ether treasury strategy in June, with 438 ETH received during the first week of January.
