Ether Machine first revealed its listing plans in July of last year: the company aimed to launch the largest income-generating asset fund based on Ethereum for institutional investors. At the time of launch, the fund was expected to manage over 400,000 ETH valued at $1.5 billion based on July’s rates.
In the fall, the company raised $654 million during a funding round. A supporter of Ethereum, Jeffrey Berns, contributed 150,000 ETH and also joined the board of directors of Ether Machine.
Currently, according to CoinGecko, the company holds a balance of 496,712 ETH.
Some other corporate Ethereum holders are also compelled to partially abandon their development plans. Trend Research completely sold off all of its 651,757 ETH for $1.34 billion, incurring a loss of approximately $747 million.
Another similar company, ETHZilla, in 2026 entirely ceased managing ETH reserves, rebranded, and changed its business focus: it is now known as Forum Markets and operates in the aircraft engine sector.
