The Ethereum Foundation has staked an additional $46.64 million worth of ETH, according to monitoring by Arkham. This move increases the Foundation's total staked ETH to approximately $96.59 million. The Ethereum Foundation has now staked roughly $143 million worth of ether, effectively completing its previously announced 70,000 ETH staking target. The move shifts the foundation from regularly selling ETH to help fund its roughly $100 million in annual expenses toward earning staking yield of an estimated $3.9 million to $5.4 million a year instead. This move reflects a strategic shift from earlier periods of selling ETH to now prioritizing network participation and earning staking rewards. By doubling down on staking, the foundation aims to bolster Ethereum's security and capture long-term yield, signaling confidence in the Proof-of-Stake ecosystem. Despite the new staking program, the foundation still holds more than 100,000 ETH unstaked and has not said whether it will expand staking beyond the initial commitment.
