Sharplink CEO: ETH-accumulating firms are shifting to staking revenue models

Companies accumulating Ethereum are reorganizing their strategies around staking revenue rather than leverage-based models, Sharplink (SBET) CEO Joseph Chalom said in an interview with The Block. He noted that while Bitcoin-accumulating companies like MicroStrategy (MSTR) rely on leverage and financial engineering, firms gathering Ethereum can generate revenue directly from their holdings through staking. Chalom described MSTR's strategy as a form of excellent financial engineering but highlighted its structural complexity. He added that Ethereum could become a core asset for tokenization infrastructure, potentially leading its asset characteristics to diverge from Bitcoin's over the long term.
