SharpLink Stakes $170 Million in ETH on Linea in Institutional Yield Push

The deal channels staking, restaking rewards through qualified custody to convert a passive treasury into on-chain income.

Overview

  • Thursday’s deployment completes the first major tranche of SharpLink’s plan to allocate up to $200 million of its Ethereum holdings to Linea.
  • Anchorage Digital, ether.fi, and EigenCloud support the setup under a qualified-custody framework tailored to institutional security and compliance.
  • The structure layers native ETH staking with EigenCloud restaking plus incentive programs from Linea and EtherFi to enhance returns.
  • SharpLink holds 864,840 ETH—about $2.7 billion—making it one of the largest publicly traded corporate Ethereum treasuries.
  • SBET shares rose roughly 1.4% on the announcement, while Linea continues to operate with TVL well below its post-token peak and SharpLink maintains consortium ties to the network.
