ETHZilla Sells $74.5M in ETH to Cut Debt

Published at 2025-12-22 17:00:08

ETHZilla disclosed a $74.5 million sale of ether aimed at reducing outstanding debt, marking the company’s second partial ETH liquidation following a $40 million sale in October that funded share buybacks. Combined, the two transactions represent $114.5 million drawn from the firm’s ETH holdings and signal continued balance‑sheet management through crypto asset sales.

The immediate significance is twofold: the sales reduce ETHZilla’s exposure to ether volatility and shore up its financial position, but they also introduce potential short‑term supply into ETH markets that could weigh on prices. Investors will watch whether future deleveraging continues or shifts toward non‑crypto financing; for now, the trades underscore a practical, if market‑sensitive, approach to debt reduction.
