Between May 30, 2025, and June 12, 2025, it has been reported that an additional $79 million will be raised through its At-The-Market equity program by selling shares under a $1 billion ATM facility.

It is worth noting that over 90% of Ethereum holdings of SharpLink Gaming Inc. are deployed in staking solutions, contributing to Ethereum’s network security while earning yield.

As of June 22, 2025, the yield earned by SharpLink Gaming Inc., in staking rewards, was 222 ETH. The company is reportedly planning to integrate Ethereum’s blockchain technology, including smart contracts, decentralized finance, and Web3 infrastructure, into its core iGaming and sports betting operations.
