SharpLink Gaming (SBET), now dubbed the "ETH Version of MicroStrategy," saw its stock soar 10.96% during Thursday's trading session. This impressive surge is primarily attributed to the company's aggressive Ethereum accumulation strategy and successful cryptocurrency staking approach, which have captured significant investor attention amid a broader crypto market rally.
SharpLink recently announced a substantial increase in its Ethereum holdings, expanding its total to 205,634 ETH, valued at over $575 million. The company's latest acquisition of 5,072 ETH through OTC trading, worth approximately $13.51 million, demonstrates its commitment to this strategy. Adding to the bullish sentiment, SharpLink revealed it has earned 322 ETH in staking rewards since launching its treasury strategy on June 2, 2025. This positions the company as one of the world's largest publicly traded ETH holders, second only to the Ethereum Foundation.
The surge in SharpLink's stock price aligns with the overall positive momentum in the cryptocurrency sector. Ethereum recently broke through the $2,800 mark, while Bitcoin climbed to an all-time high of $112,000. This bullish trend in the crypto market has sparked renewed interest in crypto-related stocks, with several other companies like Upexi, BTCS, and Bit Digital also experiencing significant gains. As SharpLink continues to leverage its Ethereum-focused strategy, investors appear optimistic about the company's potential to capitalize on the growing adoption and value of the Ethereum ecosystem.
