CEO McAndrew Rudisill said ETHZilla’s approach emphasizes deploying Ether into “cash-flowing assets” to generate recurring returns, positioning the business as scalable with strong operating leverage.
The move aligns with a broader trend of crypto firms seeking yield beyond simply holding assets, with expectations of renewed decentralized finance activity.
Financials show ETHZilla has already earned 1.5 million tokens from ecosystem involvement, though details were not disclosed.
Combined with a prior $156.5 million raise, the company’s capital pool could exceed $506 million.
If deployed entirely into Ether, it would add about 120,000 ETH to its existing 102,000 ETH holdings, valued at over $428 million.
Formerly a Nasdaq-listed biotech firm, ETHZilla rebranded in July and now ranks as the eighth-largest Ether treasury holder.
Its stock, once down over 99% in five years, has rebounded 31% this year, showing renewed investor confidence.
