SharpLink Q1 Report: ETH Holdings Rise to 873,000, Treasury Strategy Fuels Revenue Growth

Odaily reports that Nasdaq-listed SharpLink (SBET) has announced its first-quarter financial results for the period ending March 31, 2026, revealing the continued expansion of its Ethereum (ETH) treasury strategy and a transition from basic staking towards a broader on-chain yield management phase.

The financial report shows that Q1 2026 revenue surged year-over-year to $12.1 million, primarily driven by an active ETH management strategy. During the same period, SG&A expenses rose to $9.9 million, allocated to expanding institutional-grade ETH asset management infrastructure. Impacted by accounting standards, the company recorded a net loss of $686 million for the quarter, mainly composed of a $507 million unrealized loss on ETH and a $192 million impairment on LsETH. SharpLink emphasized that these are non-cash accounting losses and do not represent realized economic losses or a decrease in ETH holdings.

As of the end of March, SharpLink held approximately 870,800 ETH, which had increased to 873,000 by May, with its GAAP-valued crypto assets totaling around $1.7 billion. Since initiating its ETH treasury strategy in June 2025, the ETH Concentration metric (ETH per share) has risen from 2.0 to 4.02, with cumulative staking and on-chain yields generating approximately 18,800 ETH.

SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom stated that the goal is to enhance ETH capital productivity through institutional-grade on-chain strategies, achieving cross-cycle shareholder value growth. The company has largely internalized its ETH management capabilities and shifted from a single staking yield to a multi-strategy yield system encompassing DeFi, aiming to improve risk-adjusted returns.
