The Ether Machine has ascended to become the third-largest corporate holder of Ethereum (ETH) after acquiring an additional 15,000 ETH, elevating its holdings to 334,757 ETH. This positions the firm above the Ethereum Foundation’s acknowledged reserves of 234,000 ETH, highlighting a significant transfer of ownership to institutional entities.
Corporate accumulation of ETH is surging at twice the pace of Bitcoin adoption among treasury strategies, driven by Ethereum’s leadership in tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications. Banking giant Standard Chartered projects this trend could lead corporate firms to control nearly 10% of the entire ETH supply.
The Ether Machine’s $407 million reserve earmarked for future ETH acquisitions signals institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value proposition. Standard Chartered forecasts this accelerating demand could push ETH prices above $4,000 before year-end.
Growing corporate ETH holdings are enhancing on-chain liquidity and driving positive market momentum for the Ethereum ecosystem, supporting broader adoption and infrastructure growth across decentralized networks.
