Sharplink Chairman: Will Continue to Purchase and Stake ETH

Odaily News Sharplink Chairman Joe Lubin and CEO Joseph Chalom stated during a panel discussion at the Hong Kong Consensus Conference 2026 that Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are evolving into a unique institutional strategy. Lubin pointed out that ETH is a productive asset that can generate approximately 3% yield through staking. Sharplink has already staked nearly all of its holdings and plans to continue purchasing and staking ETH. Chalom said that Sharplink's strategy is to deploy permanent capital to seek risk-adjusted returns for investors through "good institutional DeFi," rather than pursuing venture capital-style returns. He mentioned that BlackRock plans to tokenize its $14 trillion in assets, with over 65% of this occurring on Ethereum.

Lubin predicted that in the future, every company will become a blockchain company and hold tokens on its balance sheet.
