Ethereum $ETH continues to gain serious traction among institutional investors, positioning itself as a strong contender alongside Bitcoin (BTC)$BTC . In recent years, companies have steadily added $ETH ETH to their treasuries — a trend now gaining momentum.

Among them, Sharplink Gaming stands out as the largest public holder of Ethereum globally, second only to the Ethereum Foundation. Dubbed by some as the “MicroStrategy of Ethereum,” the company has firmly embraced ETH as a strategic reserve asset.

BTCS Sets Bold $100M Plan for Ethereum Accumulation

The latest development comes from Nasdaq-listed blockchain firm BTCS, which announced an ambitious plan to raise $100 million to further increase its Ethereum holdings.

In a recent statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), BTCS revealed:

“To accumulate more Ethereum, we plan to raise $100 million this year through convertible bonds, at-the-market (ATM) stock offering, and staking rewards.
Our aim is to boost the amount of ETH held per share and enhance long-term shareholder value. We’re committed to building a company centered around Ethereum infrastructure.”

As of now, BTCS holds 14,600 ETH, and this new strategy signals the company’s deep conviction in Ethereum's long-term potential.

A Shift in Institutional Strategy: From Bitcoin to Ethereum

The institutional spotlight seems to be gradually shifting away from Bitcoin. In a surprising but telling move, Bit Digital, another major crypto-focused firm, transitioned its entire crypto investment portfolio from BTC to ETH.

Explaining the decision, Bit Digital’s CEO stated:

“Ethereum is the next wave. With real-world economic activity, a thriving developer ecosystem, and growing use in tokenization and stablecoins, ETH represents a new kind of strategic asset with real value.”

This move has stirred discussions in the crypto community about why institutional investors are favoring Ethereum over Bitcoin.

Why Institutions Are Leaning Toward Ethereum

Market analysts point to several reasons behind the institutional pivot:

Programmable blockchain structure, enabling smart contracts and decentralized applications

Staking rewards, offering passive income

Tokenization use cases, allowing assets to be digitized and traded on-chain

Stablecoin ecosystem leadership, supporting billions in on-chain volume

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also weighed in, emphasizing that institutions are drawn to ETH not necessarily for transaction speed, but for its reliability, privacy features, and long-term credibility.#StrategyBTCPurchase #ETHBreaks3k #stakingrewards
