What To Know: Revenue for second-quarter 2025 came in at $0.7 million, down from $1.0 million in the same quarter last year, while gross profit fell to $0.2 million. The company's net loss for the quarter was $103.4 million, largely driven by an $87.8 million non-cash impairment on its liquid staked ETH holdings and $16.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation related to a strategic advisory agreement with Consensys.

SharpLink also increased its ETH Concentration metric by 98% in just weeks, reflecting rapid accumulation. Co-CEO Joseph Chalom said, "Our second quarter marked the exciting launch of SharpLink's ETH treasury strategy, which has positioned us at the center of a transformational opportunity in global finance and technology."
