In recent months, crypto reserve companies have attracted significant attention on Wall Street, purchasing billions of dollars worth of <strong data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"864\">Bitcoin<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"881\">Ethereum<\/strong> while adopting long-term holding strategies.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"966\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Risk_of_Excessive_Leverage\"><\/span>The Risk of Excessive Leverage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1332\">Buterin cautioned that high leverage could pose serious threats to <strong data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1046\">Ethereum<\/strong>. Sharp price drops in ETH could trigger forced liquidations, causing a chain reaction that undermines the network\u2019s credibility. Referring to the collapse of the Terra project in 2022, he added that he believes current investors possess the discipline needed to avoid such scenarios.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1369\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Record_Levels_in_ETH_Reserves\"><\/span>Record Levels in ETH Reserves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1715\">Currently, publicly traded companies hold around $11.77 billion worth of ETH. At the top of the list is BitMine Immersion Technologies with 833,100 ETH (approximately $3.2 billion), followed by SharpLink Gaming ($2 billion) and The Ether Machine ($1.34 billion). <strong data-start=\"1633\" data-end=\"1656\">Ethereum Foundation<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1675\">PulseChain<\/strong> also rank among the top five holders.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1746\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strong_Recovery_in_2025\"><\/span>Strong Recovery in 2025<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"2073\">ETH started 2025 at $3,685 before dropping to $1,470 in April. Since then, it has surged by 167%, reaching $3,900. Reserve strategies are seen as a major catalyst for this rebound. With this performance, <strong data-start=\"1951\" data-end=\"1963\">Ethereum<\/strong> is narrowing the gap with <strong data-start=\"1990\" data-end=\"2001\">Bitcoin<\/strong> and <strong>Solana<\/strong> in the ongoing bull market, regaining investor confidence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"2073\"><em>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
