SharpLink posts $1B loss as its $1.7B Ethereum treasury could take 90 days to fully convert to cash

Ethereum treasury company SharpLink reported a $1.08 billion net loss for the six months ended June 30. Its Aug. 7 quarterly filing attributes most of that result to price-related accounting charges. Much of the company’s treasury is staked, making conversion time a material part of its liquidity profile.

The filing attributes $827.7 million of the loss to an unrealized decline in the value of ETH and another $267.8 million to impairments of LsETH and weETH, tokens representing liquid staking and restaking positions. Those predominantly non-cash charges exceeded the net loss because other results partly offset them.

The six-month loss was 934.3% above the roughly $104.4 million recorded a year earlier. The comparison spans different operating profiles because SharpLink launched its ETH treasury strategy on June 2, 2025, near the end of the earlier period.

What Ethereum can become cash, and when

SharpLink held $56.2 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30. In a separately dated snapshot, it reported 888,938 unencumbered ETH-equivalent units as of Aug. 3: 634,255 native ETH, 181,748 ETH on an as-if-redeemed basis from LsETH and 72,935 ETH on the same basis from weETH.

SharpLink reported a $1.08 billion six-month net loss while holding $56.2 million in cash and 888,938 ETH-equivalent units.

ETH traded at $1,916.57 as of Aug. 10, giving the Aug. 3 count an illustrative gross mark of roughly $1.7 billion. That mark mixes dates and includes as-if-redeemed staking positions, so cash proceeds would depend on redemption timing and sale prices.

SharpLink estimates that, under Ethereum network conditions at the time of the filing, a material portion of its staked ETH could be withdrawn and converted to cash in about 30 days.

The company puts the entire staking portfolio at about 90 days, and the filing states the 90-day timing for the staking portfolio and separately reports 888,938 ETH-equivalent units in the total treasury.
