Why ETH Beats BTC for Treasury Strategy: SharpLink CEO Says

SharpLink has become one of the most aggressive Ethereum treasury companies of 2025. In May, it raised $425 million in a private placement led by Consensys, and in July, it appointed former BlackRock executive Joseph Chalom as co-CEO. By August 24, SharpLink disclosed holdings of 797,704 ETH and more than 1,799 ETH in staking rewards.

BeInCrypto sat down with Chalom to discuss why SharpLink bet on Ethereum, how it plans to survive volatile cycles, and what its expansion into Asia means for investors at a time when rivals like Bitmine already hold 1.7M ETH.

The interview opened with the obvious question: Why Ethereum instead of Bitcoin or stablecoins? Chalom said SharpLink’s mission was to go beyond being another corporate holder and to treat Ethereum as infrastructure.
