In recent months, Ethereum has begun to attract the attention of large companies. Not just as a blockchain technology, but also as a strategic reserve asset. This trend is known as ETH Corporate Reserves, where corporations are starting to include ETH in their financial statements โ similar to what some large companies have done with Bitcoin previously.
This move demonstrates long-term confidence in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially ahead of the Ethereum 2.0 developments and widespread adoption of smart contracts. With more and more companies holding ETH, the supply in the market is becoming increasingly limited. This could drive up prices and signify Ethereum's legitimacy as an 'institutional asset.'
As of July 2025, Ethereum (ETH) is increasingly favored by major companies as part of their financial strategies. This phenomenon is known as #ETHCorporateReserves , where companies add ETH to their balance sheets, replacing or complementing Bitcoin holdings.
๐ Why Are Companies Choosing ETH?
1. Income from Staking
Ethereum allows staking with an annual yield of around 3%, providing passive income for companies.
2. Dominance in DeFi and Stablecoins
ETH serves as the backbone of the DeFi and stablecoin ecosystem, making it a strategic asset in digital finance.
3. Supportive Regulations
Regulatory support for stablecoins and Ethereum infrastructure boosts institutional confidence in ETH.
๐ฆ Companies with the Largest ETH Holdings
- SharpLink Gaming: Holds over 360,000 ETH, making it the largest corporate ETH holder currently.
- BitMine Immersion Technologies: Controls around 625,000 ETH, targeting to accumulate up to 5% of the total ETH supply.
- Bit Digital: Shifting focus from Bitcoin to Ethereum, now holds over 120,000 ETH.
๐ Impact on the Market
According to a report by Standard Chartered, companies have accumulated more than 1% of the total ETH supply since June 2025, with the potential to increase to 10% in the coming years.
๐ฎ Conclusion
The shift of companies to Ethereum as a reserve asset reflects a paradigm shift in corporate financial strategies. With broad utility and regulatory support, ETH has the potential to become a key asset on corporate balance sheets in the future.
