Ethereum infrastructure company The Ether Machine has officially launched its long-term treasury strategy by acquiring 14,928 ETH for $56.9 million, marking the firm's first major deployment into the digital asset space. The purchase was made at the average price of $3,809.97 per ETH.
The Ether Machine is becoming a symbol of Ethereum’s evolution over the past decade. The purchase coincided with the 10th anniversary of Ethereum and showcased Ether Machines' commitment to Ethereum as an integral foundation of Web3.
The Ether Machine's purchase of ETH was carried out through The Ether Reserve LLC, which is a special investment vehicle that was partially funded through a $97 million private placement. This new investment in Ethereum has resulted in the acquisition or commitment of 334,757 ETH and still has reserves of $407 million for future purchases. This positions the company as one of the largest institutional holders of Ethereum among publicly traded companies.
With growing adoption, the Ether Machine now reflects the ecosystem’s strength and decentralization. Co-founder and chairman Andrew Keys described the strategy as more than just a financial move. “Ethereum is the foundation of the decentralized internet,” Keys said, adding that the firm’s goal is to “accumulate, compound, and support ETH for the long term.”
ETH Institutional Investment is surging as major players recognize Ethereum’s long-term potential. Beyond passive holding, the Ether Machine intends to actively deploy its ETH holdings through staking, restaking, and managed DeFi protocols. The firm is building out infrastructure to serve DAOs, enterprises, and institutions looking to engage with Ethereum’s base-layer economics.
The Ethereum 10th Anniversary marks a significant milestone in blockchain history, celebrating innovation and resilience. The Ether Machine is designing the business model around Ethereum to provide something beyond just exposure by turning its treasury into a yield-generating asset and a broader platform of institutional integration into the Ethereum ecosystem.

In addition to the treasury rollout, Keys donated $100,000 to the Protocol Guild, a decentralized funding collective for Ethereum's core developers. He described the success of Ethereum as a product of the development community, and the long-term viability of Ethereum depends on building a strong financial commitment to the development community.
From the Andrew Keys Donation to advancements by every Ethereum Infrastructure Firm, the network's momentum continues to build. The donation is both symbolic and strategic, reinforcing The Ether Machine’s alignment with Ethereum’s ethos and long-term growth.
The company is in the final stages of its merger with Dynamix Corporation, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) listed on Nasdaq. Upon closing the merger, the consolidated company will trade under The Ether Machine Inc. and will soon list under a ticker symbol to be announced.
With its ETH treasury strategy underway, The Ether Machine is establishing itself as a leader in institutional Ethereum adoption, providing infrastructure, capital, and vision as Ethereum enters its second decade.
