Another major investor invests 5.1 billion to increase ETH holdings, Ethereum validators competition heats up

【Crypto World】A major company has once again taken action, significantly increasing its Ethereum holdings. This time, they poured 186,560 ETH into the Beacon Chain, bringing the total staked amount directly to over 1.53 million ETH, which is close to $5.13 billion USD. How massive is this scale? It directly locks about 4% of the ETH on the Ethereum network, making them the largest corporate staker.

Meanwhile, as they are aggressively increasing their holdings, competition on the other side is also intensifying. The number of people queuing to become validators has already reached 2.3 million ETH. Can you imagine? Just the queue alone requires this many coins.

Even more interesting is that the company’s management has recently been planning a major move—submitting a proposal to shareholders to increase authorized shares. They openly stated: this is a necessary step to avoid hitting the capital ceiling and to continue buying ETH. In simple terms, it’s paving the way for future large-scale acquisitions.
