Sharplink, Inc. announced the purchase of **10,000 ETH** at an average price of **$1,611** per ETH, bringing total ETH holdings to **886,725**, per the June 30 SEC filing. The **$75 million** registered direct offering of common stock and warrants, completed the prior week, funded the purchase. CEO Joseph Chalom connected the two events directly in the filing: “ The successful completion of our $75 million registered direct offering last week has strengthened our balance sheet and provided the capital to support our active ETH treasury management strategy. Our capital allocation philosophy is disciplined and straightforward: every financing decision we make is based on our long-term objective to increase ETH per share. Joseph ChalomCEO – Sharplink, Inc Sharplink describes itself as a leading institutional-grade Ethereum treasury platform designed to give public market investors smarter, more productive exposure to ETH. The company cites Ethereum’s role as infrastructure for [Decentralized finance markets](https://coinlaw.io/decentralized-finance-market-statistics/) and tokenized real-world assets as the strategic rationale for its accumulation program. ## By the Numbers The weekly filing disclosed four material disclosures: **10,000 ETH** purchased at approximately **$1,611** per coin, total holdings rising to **886,725**, a **$75 million** equity capital raise the prior week, and **2,132,773 shares** repurchased at **$4.69** per share.

SEC Filing Exhibit 99.1, June 30* ## How Sharplink Structures Its ETH Position? Sharplink’s **886,725** ETH consists of **632,719 native ETH**, 181,299 ETH as-if redeemed from LsETH, and 72,707 ETH as-if redeemed from weETH. LsETH is a [liquid staking ETH token](https://coinlaw.io/eth-staking-statistics/); weETH is wrapped restaked ETH. The “**as-if redeemed**” accounting converts all three instrument types into a single ETH-equivalent count for comparability. The three-instrument structure means Sharplink’s treasury earns yield at two layers, staking and restaking, in addition to tracking spot ETH price. The risk profile differs: weETH positions carry slashing exposure if the underlying protocols misbehave, a condition absent from plain native ETH holdings. ## The Share Buyback Running Alongside ETH Accumulation Sharplink repurchased **2,132,773 shares** of common stock at an average purchase price of **$4.69** per share, bringing total shares repurchased since initiating the buyback program in August 2025 to **4,071,223**. > This week Sharplink acquired 10,000 ETH, bringing total holdings to 886,725 ETH (worth ~$1.4B at today’s ETH price of $1,570). > > We also repurchased 2,132,773 shares for roughly $10M at an average price of $4.69, part of our buyback program that has now repurchased 4,071,223… [pic.twitter.com/4oyMvR7EML](https://t.co/4oyMvR7EML) > > — Sharplink (@Sharplink) [June 30, 2026](https://x.com/Sharplink/status/2071931488090665437?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Running a buyback alongside an equity-issuance program creates an apparent tension. Sharplink raised equity capital last week, then separately repurchased shares under a distinct program. Chalom’s stated metric, ETH per share, resolves the apparent conflict. The buyback reduces the share count in the denominator; the ETH purchase increases the numerator. This mirrors the capital-recycling logic [Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy)](https://coinlaw.io/strategy-2b-buyback-plan-bitcoin-reserve-strategy/) developed for its Bitcoin treasury, applied here to Ether. [Retail Investing data](https://coinlaw.io/retail-investing-statistics/) shows concurrent buyback programs typically signal management confidence in long-term value; here the buyback is explicitly subordinated to ETH-per-share optimization. ## CoinLaw’s Takeaway The June 30 filing shows Sharplink converting equity-market access into Ethereum holdings in a direct, one-week sequence: raise capital, buy ETH, reduce the share count. The filings document each purchase in volume and price terms, reporting **886,725 ETH** accumulated at an average near **$1,611** per coin, building the paper trail that regulators monitoring [SEC crypto enforcement actions](https://coinlaw.io/sec-and-cftc-regulations-on-cryptocurrencies-statistics) will expect from a large corporate holder. The more consequential signal is the instrument mix. A treasury holding only native ETH is a pure directional bet. Sharplink’s **181,299** LsETH and **72,707** weETH positions mean the treasury earns yield at two layers, carrying counterparty risk and requiring active management of restaking exposures that a passive spot position does not.
