Sharplink (SBET) shares fell 11% to $15.73 following its plan to stake ETH on Consensys’ Layer-2 network Linea. The decline reflects growing skepticism, with 82.5% of prediction market users on Myriad doubting the company will achieve its goal of holding 1 million ETH by September 16. Analysts point to aggressive equity financing—issuing new shares to fund ETH purchases—as diluting existing shareholders and making the stock less attractive. While Sharplink has already earned $10 million in staking rewards on Ethereum mainnet, moving to Linea introduces new risks and uncertainties, including undisclosed yield terms and concerns about Linea’s scalability. The market currently views digital asset treasury investors as technical traders rather than long-term yield seekers, though this may change as the sector matures.
