The Ether Machine adds 15,000 ETH in a 7M purchase, pushing holdings to 334K ETH and becoming the third-largest corporate ETH holder.
The Ether Machine has added 15,000 ETH to its balance sheet in a $56.9 million purchase, resuming its long-term accumulation strategy, the company announced Wednesday. The latest acquisition, made at an average price of $3,809 per Ether, pushes the firm’s total holdings to 334,757 ETH, the company stated, noting that it was timed to coincide with Ethereum's 10-year anniversary. Andrew Keys, chairman and co-founder of The Ether Machine, commented, “We couldn’t imagine a better way to commemorate Ethereum's 10th birthday than by deepening our commitment to Ether. We are just getting started.” The Ether Machine was formed earlier this year through a business combination between The Ether Reserve and Nasdaq-listed Dynamix Corp. The deal, expected to close in Q4, would see the firm go public under the ticker ETHM, with a targeted $1.6 billion raise.
With this latest purchase, The Ether Machine becomes the third-largest corporate holder of ETH, surpassing the Ethereum Foundation’s reported 234,000 ETH, according to StrategicETHReserve data. The firm trails only Bitmine and SharpLink Gaming. The Ether Machine still has $407 million in reserve for additional purchases, per the announcement. Meanwhile, Keys also donated $100,000 to the Protocol Guild, a major Web3 funding initiative that supports Ethereum’s core developers and has distributed millions to over 150 contributors. Ray Youssef, CEO of NoOnes, told Cointelegraph, “Ethereum has been proving to be more than just a smart contract platform for institutions in recent times — they are seeing it as the foundational infrastructure for the new era of digital finance.” Youssef added that Ethereum is driving the convergence of traditional finance and crypto by hosting tokenized assets, onchain payments, and institutional-grade custody, with much of programmable finance’s core infrastructure built directly on its network.
Corporations are now accumulating Ether at twice the pace of Bitcoin, according to a recent report from Standard Chartered. Since early June, crypto treasury firms have acquired 1% of Ethereum’s total supply, fueling ETH’s recent outperformance. The bank noted that this surge, along with strong inflows into US spot Ether ETFs, has supported Ether’s rally and could help push the price above its $4,000 year-end forecast. Despite these gains, ETH remains over 20% below its all-time high of $4,890. Standard Chartered expects Ether treasury firms to eventually control up to 10% of the total ETH supply, driven by opportunities in staking and DeFi that Bitcoin-focused firms lack.
