Ethereum has commemorated its 10-year anniversary with accelerating institutional adoption, as major corporations increasingly integrate Ether into their treasury strategies. The blockchain’s evolution from foundational technology to mainstream financial asset is underscored by prominent holdings among publicly traded firms.
Corporate reserves analysis reveals substantial ETH allocations across multiple institutions: BitMine Immersion Technologies holds 625,000 ETH, Sharplink maintains 438,190 ETH, BTCS Inc. controls 70,028 ETH, and GameSquare Holdings possesses 12,913 ETH.
Institutional engagement is fueled by Ethereum’s programmable smart contract capabilities, expansive decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, and yield opportunities through proof-of-stake validation. Treasury-focused entities have accumulated over 1% of Ether’s circulating supply since June, outpacing Bitcoin acquisitions during the same timeframe.
Long-term projections from Standard Chartered estimate treasury holdings could eventually encompass up to 10% of ETH’s total supply. This trajectory is supported by maturing regulatory environments globally and sustained growth within decentralized finance infrastructure.
