The Edge Podcast A Beginner’s Guide To ETH Treasury Companies
Kyle Reidhead is the Founder of Impact3 and Co-Owner of The Milk Road.
In this episode, we provide a comprehensive guide on ETH treasury companies, publicly traded firms focused on acquiring and staking ETH for their balance sheets, while tapping into DeFi to earn yield. We explore how these firms raise capital to buy more ETH, how staking/DeFi differentiates them from BTC treasury companies, why metrics like mNAV, share count, and ETH purchase-to-issuance ratio matter, and how this new Wall Street phenomenon is driving an outsized bid to buy a shrinking supply of ETH.
