Company That Previously Purchased $435 Million Worth of Ethereum Moves to Buy $1 Billion More

SharpLink Gaming has announced plans for a Shelf Offering that could raise up to $1 billion, in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The company plans to use a significant portion of this massive funding push to purchase Ethereum (ETH).

A Shelf Offering is a financing method that allows a company to gradually offer its securities, which it has registered with the SEC, to the market in order to raise capital, rather than all at once. This method allows companies to raise funds flexibly over time.

The total number of shares that SharpLink Gaming could issue under this shelf offering is over 72 million. If sold in full, the company could generate up to $1 billion in proceeds assuming the shares trade at the current market price of $79.21.

The shares will be sold in the United States at certain intervals and depending on market conditions, using the “at the market offering” method. In such sales, the shares are offered to investors directly through sales representatives.

The company announced that it will use the majority of the funds to purchase Ethereum (ETH), while the rest will be allocated for working capital, general corporate expenses, operational expenses, and affiliate marketing activities.

SharpLink Gaming, which purchased $435 million worth of Ethereum last week, saw its shares increase by 2,700% following these developments. The company’s market value also grew 11-fold, attracting attention.
