Nasdaq-listed company, SharpLink Gaming (SBET), is escalating its Ethereum (ETH) accumulation strategy as the crypto bull market persists. On Monday, the gaming firm added another 24,371 ETH, worth approximately $73 million, to its cryptocurrency treasury.
Arkham Intelligence data reveals that the Ethereum was transferred from a hot wallet on Coinbase Prime to SharpLink Gaming’s address. The hot wallet’s transaction history shows regular interactions with Coinbase Prime, including deposits and transactions with other crypto addresses, featuring Ether, Shiba Inu, and Uniswap (UNI).
This recent Ethereum procurement follows SharpLink’s purchases of 16,374 ETH on Sunday and 21,487 ETH on Friday. Over the past four days, the company has acquired a total of 62,232 ETH, valued at an estimated $186.4 million at current market rates.
Initiated in late May, SharpLink’s Ethereum treasury strategy was introduced in parallel with a $425 million private placement directed by Consensys, a crypto infrastructure developer. Joseph Lubin, Consensys CEO and Ethereum co-founder, took up the role of SharpLink’s chairman. To date, SharpLink has amassed around 294,000 ETH and staked 74,464 ETH, as per EmberCN’s onchain data report.
