Ethereum’s growing appeal among institutional investors and corporate treasuries has reached a new milestone. According to data from StrategicETHReserve, a total of 12.48 million ETH — equal to 10.31% of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply — is now held by Ethereum treasury firms and spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) combined.
This marks one of the most significant consolidations of Ethereum holdings in institutional hands, reflecting rising confidence in ETH as both a yield-generating and long-term store-of-value asset.
Breakdown of Institutional Holdings
Of the total 12.48 million ETH accumulated, treasury companies collectively hold about 5.66 million ETH (4.68% of supply), while spot Ethereum ETFs account for 6.81 million ETH (5.63%).
“The continued growth of Ethereum-focused ETFs signals a maturing market structure that appeals to both corporate and institutional investors,” said senior market strategist at a Singapore-based digital asset firm.
The surge has been supported by steady ETF inflows over the past few months. Data from SoSoValue shows that U.S. spot Ether ETFs recorded $621.4 million in net inflows in October, up sharply from $285.7 million in September and $3.9 billion in August, underscoring growing investor appetite.
Corporate Treasuries Join the Ethereum Movement
Publicly listed companies have increasingly begun treating Ethereum as a strategic balance sheet asset, mirroring earlier corporate trends seen with Bitcoin. Firms like BitMine and SharpLink have added significant ETH holdings to their treasuries.
SharpLink, in particular, reported unrealized profits exceeding $900 million since launching its ETH treasury strategy in early June, signaling strong returns from Ethereum’s upward price movement.
The latest figures highlight Ethereum’s evolution from a technology-driven blockchain platform to a mainstream financial asset class embraced by institutions.
With more than one-tenth of its supply now in institutional hands, Ethereum is entering a new phase of market maturity — one defined by strategic accumulation, stable yield opportunities, and deepening integration into global financial portfolios.
