SharpLink Gaming reported a 2025 net loss of $734.6 million this week. The result was driven largely by $616.2 million in unrealized fiat losses on its Ethereum treasury holdings and a $140.2 million impairment on liquid staking tokens under fair-value accounting rules. The numbers were brutal, arriving after a tough second half of 2025 that saw ETH shed roughly 45% from its August peak. As news of its losses ripple across digital asset markets, traders are now squarely focused on Bit Digital Inc., which is due to release its own quarterly earnings on March 12.
Short-term bullishness in the ETH market has given traders just enough hope to stand firm. Just this week, Ethereum whale accumulation spiked 3,500% to 252,142 ETH, driven by the Glamsterdam upgrade, Harvard’s $86.8 million Ethereum ETF rotation, and exchange supply at decade lows. Those are precisely the kinds of conditions that create price momentum. The question, however, is whether another round of sobering corporate earnings could puncture that momentum.
Bit Digital adopted an Ethereum treasury strategy in June 2025, converting its prior Bitcoin mining focus to ETH accumulation and staking. Its February 2026 treasury report, released March 5, paints a nuanced picture of where the company stands ahead of Thursday’s scheduled earnings call. As of February 28, the company held approximately 155,434 ETH, including ETH-equivalents in an externally managed fund. At an ETH closing price of approximately $1,965, the market value stood at roughly $305.4 million. The average acquisition price across all holdings was $3,045 per ETH, meaning the position currently sits at a notable paper loss relative to prevailing market prices.
Beyond Bit Digital several other publicly traded entities must soon disclose their digital asset positions to shareholders. The Ethereum Treasury guide lists numerous firms that now treat the second largest cryptocurrency as a primary reserve asset. These upcoming reports will collectively serve as a verdict on the viability of staking as a corporate revenue model. Analysts monitor these filings to determine if the 2.7% annualized yield remains attractive enough to offset capital depreciation during bear cycles.
The market remains sensitive to how these corporations report their ETH-equivalents held in externally managed funds. If more firms report losses similar to SharpLink the recent whale accumulation might lose its momentum. Conversely, a string of reports showing disciplined holding and successful staking rewards could solidify the current price floor. Every sentence in these financial disclosures carries the potential to swing market liquidations in either direction.
