Ethereum Treasury Companies Are Buying More ETH Than Is Issued

Ethereum treasury companies like BitDigital, SharpLink Gaming, and others are aggressively buying ETH, outpacing new issuance on the network.

Over the last 30 days, 77,000 new ETH was issued with net issuance of 57,000 after burn, but treasury companies have purchased over 200,000 ETH, nearly four times the issued amount.

This buying pressure is offsetting network issuance completely since the merge and suggests strong bullish sentiment that views ETH as a superior programmable store of value, beyond just revenue generation.

Companies are converting BTC to ETH, staking ETH, and reinvesting yield to grow ETH holdings per share, acting as "infinite bidders" pushing ETH demand significantly higher.

This fundamental shift removes the narrative that Ethereum needs massive fees to justify valuation, instead focusing on ETH's monetary properties and ecosystem strength.
