Sharplink Gaming reported a net loss of $734.6 million for 2025 as the crypto market downturn in the second half of the year sharply reduced the value of its digital asset holdings. The company attributed the majority of the loss to a $616.2 million paper loss on its treasury of Ethereum.
Sharplink disclosed that it currently holds 868,699 ETH, accumulated as part of its strategy to operate as an Ethereum treasury company. The firm also recorded an additional $140.2 million impairment charge tied to the conversion of its staked Ether.
Ethereum Price Drop Impacted Treasury Value
Ethereum experienced strong growth earlier in 2025, reaching a peak of $4,829 in August. However, a broader market sell-off in October pushed prices down significantly, with the asset ending the year close to $3,000. This decline played a major role in reducing the reported value of Sharplink’s holdings.
Despite the financial setback, the company maintained that its long-term strategy focuses on increasing ETH per share and managing treasury assets through market cycles.
Revenue Growth and Continued ETH Accumulation
Sharplink reported strong operational growth during the year, with total revenue rising from $3.7 million to $28.1 million. Staking revenue also increased, reaching $15.3 million in the final quarter.
The firm, chaired by Joseph Lubin, said it will continue acquiring Ethereum as part of its treasury strategy. Following major funding rounds totaling $3.2 billion in 2025, Sharplink has become one of the largest publicly traded holders of ETH, second only to BitMine Immersion Technologies.
