Nasdaq-listed BTCS buys $55 million in ETH, boosting holdings to over 70,000 ETH

BTCS Inc. (BTCS) has increased its ether reserves by 14,240 ETH ($55 million) to 70,028 ETH, citing a fair value of roughly $270 million at an ETH price of $3,850 on Monday.

Alongside the expanded treasury, it closed issuance of about $10 million in above‑market convertible notes with a $13 per share conversion price, a 198% premium to the company’s July 18 closing price. The firm also disclosed that, in the week ended July 25, it sold 271,580 shares via its at‑the‑market program in a single block at $6.04 for $1.64 million, bringing common shares outstanding to 47,852,778. The company said the financing supports its capital program for expanding Ethereum holdings and infrastructure operations.

BTCS characterizes itself as an Ethereum‑first operator that pairs capital markets access with NodeOps (staking) and Builder+ (block building) services to pursue yield and ETH accumulation. The Nasdaq-listed firm says it has raised about $207 million year‑to‑date through a mix of ATM equity sales, above‑market convertible debt, and DeFi‑based borrowing, part of what it describes as its “DeFi/TradFi Accretion Flywheel” for treasury growth and operations.

BTCS states that the integrated approach is designed to provide leveraged exposure to Ethereum while generating recurring revenue tied to network activity. Shares in the company rose 6% in pre-open trading hours, Yahoo Finance data shows.

The novel approach differs from Strategy-style tactics employed by other Ethereum treasury companies, like SharpLink Gaming and BitMine Immersion, that currently only tap public markets and private investments to raise cash for ETH accumulation.
