In its July 2025 crypto monthly recap report, global investment management firm VanEck suggested that Ethereum (ETH) could emerge as a superior store of value compared to Bitcoin (BTC). The report pointed to ETH\u2019s lower inflation rate in recent months relative to BTC, alongside its growing utility within decentralized finance (DeFi).<\/p>\n

Ethereum A Better Store Of Value Than Bitcoin?<\/h2>\n

In recent years, a growing number of companies have diversified their treasuries by allocating capital to digital assets \u2013 most notably Bitcoin. However, emerging trends<\/a> show that corporations are also beginning to accumulate Ethereum, recognizing its potential as both a yield-generating and deflationary asset.<\/p>\n

VanEck\u2019s report emphasizes that while Bitcoin\u2019s finite supply and predictable issuance policies make it a strong candidate for a store of value, Ethereum provides greater financial flexibility. In particular, ETH holders can stake their assets to earn rewards, collect network revenue, and participate in DeFi protocols to generate additional yield.<\/p>\n

The report also highlights key differences in the monetary policies of both networks. Ethereum\u2019s initial issuance rate at launch was 14.4%, compared to Bitcoin\u2019s 9.3%. However, two major policy changes have since dramatically reduced ETH\u2019s inflation rate \u2013 bringing it below Bitcoin\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The first was Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP-1559), implemented in August 2021, which introduced a mechanism to \u201cburn\u201d a portion of transaction fees. This effectively created deflationary pressure during periods of high network activity, reducing the total supply of ETH.<\/p>\n

The second transformative event was \u201cThe Merge\u201d in September 2022, when Ethereum transitioned from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This change drastically reduced issuance \u2013 from approximately 13,000 ETH\/day to around 1,700 ETH\/day \u2013 by eliminating the need to pay miners.<\/p>\n

Following these changes, ETH\u2019s inflation rate fell below Bitcoin\u2019s for the first time in March 2023. Since then, ETH\u2019s supply has grown by only 0.2%, compared to Bitcoin\u2019s 3%. The report states:<\/p>\n

\n

Total supply of ETH fell between October 7th, 2022, and April 4th, 2024, moving from ~120.6M on to a low of ~120.1M on, achieving an annualized (-0.25%) inflation rate over the period. Since that time, ETH burn has been reduced due to the increase in Ethereum transaction throughput, and the network has accrued (+0.5%) in additional supply. Regardless, over that same period, BTC supply has increased (+1.1%).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Companies Flocking To ETH Accumulation<\/h2>\n

Over the past month, several companies have unveiled<\/a> Ethereum-focused treasury strategies. For instance, cryptocurrency firm Bit Digital recently crossed<\/a> 120,000 ETH in total holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining firm BitMine Immersion Technologies revealed<\/a> that its ETH holdings had surged past 833,000 tokens, making it the largest known corporate holder of the digital asset. At press time, ETH trades at $3,643, up 2.3% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
