Staking Progress and Yield Optimization

Between July 7 and July 11, 2025, SharpLink earned approximately 94 ETH in staking rewards, bringing its cumulative reward total to 415 ETH since launching the strategy on June 2, 2025.
ETH Concentration Metric
As previously reported, SharpLink recently introduced a proprietary metric known as “ETH Concentration.” This metric is designed to gauge the Company’s ETH exposure relative to its capital structure.
ETH Concentration is calculated as: Total ETH Held ÷ 1,000 Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding.
Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding includes all issued and outstanding shares, ATM sales and shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock options and restricted stock units – excluding treasury method adjustments. Since ETH purchases commenced the week beginning on June 13, 2025, SharpLink’s ETH Concentration has risen from 2.00 ETH to 2.46 ETH as of July 13, 2025, marking a 23% increase in just over one month with approximately $257 million still to be deployed.
