fragility of momentum when institutional vehicles pause their buying.<\/p>\n<p>Yet beneath the surface, corporations\u2019 accumulation of Ethereum treasury remains a powerful counterweight.<\/p>\n<p>SharpLink\u2019s headline $103M Q2 loss obscured that its 728,804 ETH position, now worth $3.3Bn, has steadily compounded through staking rewards.<\/p>\n<p>At a current yield of 3.4%, SharpLink has already booked more than 1,300 ETH in rewards this year, an organic inflow that cushions against valuation shocks.<\/p>\n<p>Other treasury firms have quietly expanded exposure, with BTCS Inc. and DeFi Development Corp adding reserves in Q2.<\/p>\n<p>The Block estimates the cumulative market cap of public companies holding ETH has surpassed $10Bn, marking Ethereum\u2019s arrival as a treasury asset class in its own right.<\/p>\n<p>This is structurally important: while ETF demand is flow-driven and reactive to sentiment, treasury allocations are sticky, recurring, and often tied to operating models in DeFi infrastructure, gaming, or tokenized yield platforms.<\/p>\n<p>ETF outflows highlight short-term sentiment, but the parallel growth of treasury balance sheets
