The Ethereum Foundation (EF), the non-profit organization that steers development of the Ethereum ecosystem, staked over 45,000 Ether (ETH) on Friday, bringing the total amount staked to about 69,500 ETH—less than 500 coins shy of the Foundation’s 70,000 ETH goal.
According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the EF executed the Friday staking through a series of transactions, each consisting of 2,047 ETH. The total amount staked on Friday was valued at over $92.2 million.
The EF began staking ETH in February as part of its revamped treasury strategy policy announced in June 2025. The Foundation said it will use the yield generated to fund protocol research, development and ecosystem grants.
In its updated treasury policy, the EF said:
“We are now increasingly moving into staking and DeFi, both to enhance financial sustainability and to support a key application category that is delivering on the promise of permissionless, secure access to base civilizational infrastructure for millions of people today.”
The EF previously staked 2,016 ETH in February, valued at about $4.1 million, followed by 22,517 ETH, valued at about $46.1 million, in March.
Arkham Intelligence also reported that the EF has locked over $143 million in ETH in the Ethereum Beacon Deposit Contract.
The adoption of a yield-bearing treasury strategy followed pressure from the Ethereum community on the EF to generate income from its treasury to cover expenses, rather than continually selling tokens to fund operations.
