Sharplink Inc (NASDAQ: SBET) is a digital asset treasury company that acquires and actively manages Ethereum (ETH) as its primary balance sheet asset. The company generates returns through staking, trading, liquidity provisioning, and other yield-seeking treasury activities centered on ETH and liquid staked ETH (LsETH). Sharplink positions itself as a publicly traded vehicle offering investors regulated, governance-backed exposure to Ethereum, distinct from passive exchange-traded products that do not participate in network-level economics. As of the 10-K filed March 9, 2026, the company carries no long-term debt. Sharplink sold its prior affiliate marketing and sports betting business in January 2024, making digital asset treasury management the sole focus of its capital allocation strategy. The company also announced plans to tokenize its SEC-registered common stock directly on the Ethereum blockchain in partnership with Superstate, appointed as Digital Transfer Agent in September 2025.

Revenue model

Sharplink earns returns primarily through ETH staking rewards and active treasury management activities including trading and liquidity provisioning. Proceeds from staking may be redeemed for cash to meet liquidity needs. The company does not operate a subscription, advertising, or fee-based service business as of the 10-K filed March 9, 2026.
