Corporate ETH Reserves Hit $10 Billion as Ethereum Marks 10th Anniversary

• Corporate ETH reserves reached $10 billion, with companies holding 2.73 million tokens, and the ETH price surged 56% in one month.

• The Ether Machine bought 15,000 ETH for $56.9 million and now ranks third among corporate holders with 334,757 total tokens.

• BlackRock leads Ether ETFs with over 3 million ETH holdings, and staking features may arrive by late 2025.

Corporate Ethereum reserves have reached a historic $10 billion milestone as the blockchain network celebrates its tenth year of operation. Global companies now hold 2.73 million ETH tokens, driven by aggressive purchasing strategies from major players including Bitmine Technologies, SharpLink Gaming, and The Ether Machine.

The ETH price currently hovers around $3,865, marking a substantial 56% increase over the past month. This surge coincides with Ethereum’s anniversary celebration, highlighting the network’s resilience and growing institutional adoption.

The Ether Machine Secures Third Position in Corporate Holdings

The Ether Machine emerged as a dominant force in corporate ETH accumulation through its subsidiary, The Ether Reserve. On July 30, the company executed a strategic purchase of 15,000 ETH at an average price of $3,809.97 per token, totaling approximately $56.9 million.

This acquisition elevated The Ether Machine’s total ETH holdings to 334,757 tokens, surpassing the Ethereum Foundation to claim the third position among corporate treasury holders. The company maintains significant purchasing power with $407 million available for future Ethereum acquisitions.

“We couldn’t imagine a better way to commemorate Ethereum’s 10th birthday than by deepening our commitment to ether,” The Ether Machine stated. “Our mandate is to accumulate, compound, and support ETH for the long term, not just as a financial asset, but as the backbone of a new internet economy.”

SharpLink Gaming and Bitmine Technologies continue their aggressive expansion strategies, with both companies holding over 1 million ETH combined. This concentrated accumulation demonstrates institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value proposition.

Institutional ETF Inflows Drive Market Momentum

BlackRock’s ETHA leads the spot Ether ETF market with over 3 million ETH holdings, representing over $11 billion in assets under management. Total spot Ether ETF holdings have approached 6 million tokens, reflecting substantial institutional demand.

As the SEC recently acknowledged BlackRock’s ETH staking proposal, the ETF landscape faces potential transformation. Industry analysts project staking capabilities could arrive in late 2025 or early 2026, accelerating institutional inflows and intensifying corporate reserve competition.

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin celebrated the network’s achievement of zero downtime since its 2015 genesis block. “Ethereum has demonstrated non-stop uptime, proving itself as the definition of antifragile,” Lubin noted. “It has continually evolved to serve as a reliable trust layer for our fast-growing digital world.”

Traders monitor ETH’s potential breakout above $4,000, which could trigger a rally toward new all-time highs. The combination of corporate accumulation, ETF inflows, and network stability positions Ethereum for continued institutional adoption as it enters its second decade.
