The amount of Ethereum (ETH) held in strategic reserves is nearing a critical benchmark, with nearly 1% of the crypto’s total circulating supply now held by major organizations and institutions.

Data from the Strategic ETH Reserve shows that approximately 1,167,712 ETH, valued at nearly $2.96 billion, is currently designated as a strategic holding.

This figure represents 0.9674% of Ethereum’s total circulating supply, which is around 120.8 million ETH. While the percentage may appear modest, the scale of accumulation illustrates the growing institutional confidence in Ethereum as a long-term digital asset.

Meanwhile, 37 participants have been identified as strategic ETH holders.

The Ethereum Foundation, which holds 259,430 ETH, is at the top of the list. SharpLink Gaming, a NASDAQ-listed company (SBET), comes in second with 176,271 ETH.

It is followed by PulseChain Sac, which has 166,303 ETH; Coinbase, the largest US-based exchange, has 137,334 ETH in reserves.

The Golem Foundation, known for its decentralized computing ecosystem, rounds up the top five with 101,079 ETH in its reserves.
