ETHZilla to Deploy $100 Million of Ether Into EtherFi’s Liquid Restaking

The Nasdaq-listed firm pivots from accumulation to on-chain yield generation in its first DeFi engagement.

Overview

  • The planned allocation represents nearly a quarter of ETHZilla’s 102,246 ETH treasury, valued at about $456 million as of Aug. 31.
  • Executives say the move targets incremental yield while reinforcing Ethereum’s security through EtherFi’s liquid restaking model.
  • ETHZilla reports roughly $221 million in cash equivalents and about 166.6 million shares outstanding after canceling 1.3 million shares tied to Elray Resources.
  • The company accumulated its position at an average price near $3,948 per ETH and signals a shift from buying to deploying on-chain.
  • Industry reporting cites EtherFi as a leading restaking provider as sector total value locked tops $30 billion, and ETHZilla’s program is managed with Electric Capital.
