The acquisition pushes the company’s stack to over 3.31 million ETH, about 2.8% of the total ETH supply. Overall holdings climbed to $14.2 billion in combined crypto assets including a small bitcoin stash, equity stake in treasury firm Eightco (ORBS) and cash, making it the largest known corporate ETH holder and second-largest crypto treasury overall behind Strategy (MSTR).
