Ether surged sharply on Wednesday, approaching record highs amid growing corporate accumulation, mirroring strategies previously seen in Bitcoin. The world\u2019s second-largest cryptocurrency rose as much as 8.5% to $4,683.0, nearing its $4,861 all-time high from November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corporate Ether Accumulation<\/strong> Now, companies are attempting a similar approach with Ether.

Meanwhile, billionaire Peter Thiel revealed a 7.5% stake in 180 Life Sciences Corp (NASDAQ:ATNF), which is rebranding as Ether treasury ETHZilla, holding about 82,186 Ether tokens. Thiel\u2019s disclosure triggered a more than threefold surge in the company\u2019s shares on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ether Outpaces Bitcoin in 2025<\/strong> This wave of institutional adoption underscores growing confidence in Ether as a corporate treasury asset and highlights the increasing overlap between traditional markets and the crypto space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ether surged sharply on Wednesday, approaching record highs amid growing corporate accumulation, mirroring strategies previously seen in Bitcoin.

Several U.S.-listed firms announced plans to boost their Ether holdings this week, following the example of Michael Saylor\u2019s MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:MSTR), the world\u2019s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. MicroStrategy raised billions through share offerings to fund Bitcoin purchases, fueling both the company\u2019s stock and Bitcoin\u2019s price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corporate hoarding has contributed to Ether\u2019s strong performance, with the crypto now outperforming Bitcoin year-to-date. Ether has gained 39.4% so far in 2025, while Bitcoin\u2019s rise stands at 27.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
