Sharplink Chairman: Will continue to purchase and stake ETH

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Sharplink Chairman Joe Lubin and CEO Joseph Chalom stated during a panel discussion at the Hong Kong Consensus 2026 that digital asset treasuries (DATs) are evolving into a unique institutional strategy. Lubin pointed out that ETH is a productive asset that can generate approximately 3% yield through staking. Sharplink has staked nearly all of its holdings and plans to continue purchasing and staking ETH. Chalom said that Sharplink’s strategy is to deploy permanent capital and seek risk-adjusted returns for investors through “good institutional DeFi,” rather than pursuing venture-style returns. He mentioned that BlackRock plans to tokenize its $14 trillion assets, with over 65% of that happening on Ethereum.

Lubin predicts that in the future, every company will become a blockchain company and hold tokens on their balance sheets.
