Ethereum's Strategic ETH Reserve (SER) boasts an ever-growing list of public companies holding ETH long-term.
Saylor used MicroStrategy to back BTC; similarly, SER uses ETH as a treasury and cultural flag. More organizations like SharpLink, Coinbase, and Bankless are joining.
Here’s what SER is and why it might matter more than just stacking ETH.👇

— Why Launch a Strategic ETH Reserve?
In short: build conviction, create scarcity, and signal alignment with Ethereum’s long-term vision.
In other words,
• Shows skin in the game — ETH isn’t just infrastructure. It’s collateral, yield-bearing capital, and internet-native money. Holding it shows belief in the protocol you build on.
• Unlocks Wall Street-style flywheels — Like Strategy did with BTC, companies like SharpLink ($SBET) are issuing stock, buying ETH, staking it, and using that story to drive interest and capital.
• Creates public ETH proxies — Not all investors can hold ETH directly. SER-aligned companies give exposure via equities, opening new capital funnels into the ecosystem.
• Compresses supply — Every time ETH moves into strategic treasuries, it tightens float and pushes price discovery.
— The SharpLink Playbook
The loudest SER move yet came from SharpLink ($SBET), a microcap that raised $425.00M to become an ETH treasury vehicle. The deal flips 90% control to the ETH group — no SPAC, no IPO roadshow, just a Nasdaq ticker and 120,000 ETH (worth ~$425.00M at raise) headed into staking.
It’s Strategy for Ethereum, but backed by Joe Lubin and @Consensys, not Bitcoin maxis.
@econoar summed it up perfectly:
“Public ETH proxy. Staked. Levered. Story.”
The result? A publicly listed, yield-bearing, levered ETH proxy with mainstream exposure — and a fresh narrative for Ethereum.
— Who’s In the SER?
To name a few, @gnosis, @lido, the U.S. Government, and yes, even Bankless is on the list. You can see all members on their website.
We believe Ethereum will become the financial internet, and we’re putting our ETH where our mouth is.
— Why Invest in the ETH Reserve Instead of Just ETH?
Yes, holding ETH is great, but SER-aligned equities offer something different: leveraged ETH exposure, recurring staking yield, and narrative-driven growth.
If $SBET trades above its ETH-per-share value, that premium becomes capital — letting the company raise more, buy more ETH, and accelerate the flywheel.
In short: ETH, but with compounding upside (and risk).
SER companies are also easier for institutions: listed, custody-free, and compliant. They’re ETH onramps for the legacy world.
— How to Join the Strategic ETH Reserve
It’s simple:
1. Hold ETH on your balance sheet — Whether you’re a company, DAO, protocol, or media org, hold ETH as part of your treasury strategy.
2. Submit your wallet address — Once you’re ready, share your ETH-holding wallet at StrategicETHReserve (dot) xyz. The community will verify and list your org.
— Bottom Line
Ethereum now has its own Bitcoin-style treasury narrative and it’s gaining steam.
Not just a meme, a bet on ETH as a reserve-grade asset. A movement toward ETH-backed balance sheets. A new signal for capital.
ETH has returned over 850,000% since launch, more than any other asset. And with more institutions going long, a new era of opportunity is here.
The question now: who’s next?
