— Генеральный директор, SharpLink
Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom discusses the crypto treasury company model, contrasting Ethereum and Bitcoin. He credits Michael Saylor for inventing the model but argues that running a Bitcoin treasury is structurally harder due to lack of native yield, forcing complex financial structures. Chalom explains how Sharplink survived its first year using Ethereum's staking yield while avoiding debt or dilution.
- Chalom tips his hat to Michael Saylor for inventing the crypto treasury company model.
- Bitcoin treasury companies need to financialize via convertible bonds or preferred stock because Bitcoin has no native yield.
- Ethereum's 2.5-3% staking yield allows DATs like Sharplink to avoid debt and dilution.
- Sharplink survived a crypto downturn by keeping a clean balance sheet and using ETH productively.
- Chalom says Michael Saylor is in a tough spot due to structural challenges and market overhang.
- Only Bit Mine and Sharplink have survived in the Ethereum DAT space.
Идеи
Ethereum yield makes Sharplink resilient
Sharplink survived a crypto downturn without taking on debt or diluting shareholders because it relied on Ethereum's native 2.5-3% staking yield instead of complex financial structures. The company kept a clean balance sheet, prioritized investors, and only issued common stock when accretive, proving the Ethereum treasury model is structurally more resilient than Bitcoin treasury models.
Strategy's Bitcoin model has structural trouble
Strategy (Michael Saylor) is in a difficult position because Bitcoin treasury companies lack native yield and must issue convertible bonds or preferred stock to drive outsized returns. The lack of clarity and daily announcements about Strategy's direction is an overhang on the market, making the Bitcoin treasury model structurally harder than the Ethereum model.
