This is how much Crypto is held by Ethereum Foundation

The Ethereum Foundation has $970.2 million in its treasury, according to the recently published report. This includes $788.7 million in crypto and $181.5 million in non-digital asset investments.

A whopping 99.45% of the foundation’s crypto holdings are in ETH, representing 0.26% of the total ether supply as of this date. By prioritizing ETH for the majority of its treasury, the Ethereum Foundation said it reaffirms its long-term commitment to the potential of the second largest blockchain.

The Ethereum ecosystem secures $22.2 million in total treasures

The primary purpose of the Ethereum Foundation treasury is to fund public goods important to the Ethereum ecosystem in the long term. To achieve this, the nonprofit maintains a treasury management strategy that safeguards its resources, even in the face of prolonged market downturns.

This includes periodically liquidating ETH to create financial reserves and increasing fiduciary savings during bull markets to support expenses in bear markets, according to its latest report.

The Ethereum ecosystem is backed by $22.2 billion in secured treasuries belonging to foundations, organizations and DAOs by 2024. While the Ethereum Foundation manages 4.4% at $970 million, Optimism leads the ecosystem with a 15.8% to $3.5 billion, while Uniswap follows with 14% to $3.1 billion.

Mantle controls 11.3% at $2.5 billion, and Arbitrum has 8.6% at $1.9 billion of the total treasury. Gnosis holds 8.1% at $1.8 billion, followed by ENS at 5.4% at $1.2 billion.

Other notable titles include The Graph, Safe, Sky, SuperVerse, Lido, etc. Meanwhile, smaller treasures include Aave, dYdX, Research Hub, and Stargate Finance, among others.

The Ethereum Foundation notes,

“Over the past few years, the Ethereum ecosystem has grown. There are now many organizations and institutions contributing to Ethereum and pushing its boundaries, including businesses, non-profits, DAOs, L2 organizations, and more. Our ecosystem has never been stronger.”
