Ethereum Treasury Firm Makes Nasdaq Debut with 400K ETH Stash

The Ether Machine, a newly listed entity resulting from a merger of The Ether Reserve and Dynamix Corporation, has debuted on Nasdaq with approximately $1.5 billion worth of Ethereum.

Strategy and Holdings

• The company holds 400,000 ETH ($~1.5 Billion at IPO value) and aims to grow its treasury through staking and decentralized finance (DeFi).
• These holdings make The Ether Machine the largest participant in the Strategic Ethereum Reserve program.
• It secured funding in a broader deal, reportedly from partners including crypto exchanges (Blockchain.com, Kraken), venture capital (Pantera Capital), and co-founder Andrew Keys (former Consensys exec).

CEO Andrew Keys emphasized the company’s focus: “We have assembled a team of ‘Ethereum Avengers’… to actively manage and unlock yields… we believe will be market-leading for investors.”

Market Reaction and Context

Concurrent with the Nasdaq debut, Dynamix Corporation’s shares surged 36%.

Ethereum’s price performance prior to listing was strong, with an intra-week gain exceeding 27% fueled in part by rising interest in specialized Ethereum treasury firms.
