BTCS Inc., a blockchain technology firm primarily focused on Ethereum (ETH), has announced its intention to sell up to $2 billion worth of shares to finance future cryptocurrency acquisitions. This plan was detailed in an S-3 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.
The company stated that the net proceeds from these stock sales will be used to purchase more digital assets, provide working capital, and for other general corporate purposes. In a separate S-3 filing, BTCS also outlined the resale of over 5 million common shares from existing convertible notes and warrants, expecting to receive approximately $12 million from the exercise of these warrants.
BTCS operates with an "Ethereum-first" approach, utilizing capital markets, staking, and block building to accumulate ETH and generate yield—a strategy they call a "DeFi/TradFi Accretion Flywheel." The company recently acquired an additional 14,240 ETH, bringing its total holdings to 70,028 ETH, valued at roughly $265.3 million. Despite this news, BTCS's stock price closed down 2.13% at $5.05 on Tuesday.
BTCS is part of a growing trend of companies, including SharpLink Gaming and Bit Digital, that are incorporating Ethereum into their corporate strategy. Experts like Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered believe that holding Ether in treasuries offers greater upside potential compared to Bitcoin treasuries, primarily due to staking rewards and access to DeFi leverage.
