Ethereum whale’s annual income exceeds $400 million? The truth behind institutional staking strategies

Abstract generation in progress

【Blockchain Rhythm】The profit potential of Ethereum holdings has once again attracted market attention. According to the latest news, the world’s top crypto asset management firm disclosed the latest developments in its Ethereum strategy at its Thursday shareholder meeting. The firm’s chairman revealed that their $13 billion worth of Ethereum assets are expected to generate over $400 million in annual pre-tax income in the future, with the vast majority coming from staking yields on these positions.

More interestingly, this firm may have achieved approximately $400 million in cost savings through its Ethereum deployment over the past few months. However, despite saving expenses by gradually accumulating at lows, the current holdings still show an unrealized loss of about $2.3 billion due to large-scale purchases since July last year. This contrast between unrealized losses and expected returns precisely reflects the current market’s volatility—short-term bearish pressure versus medium-term staking yields and asset allocation value.

It is worth noting that the firm also announced a $200 million investment in a well-known content creation company and plans to focus on mobile applications and tokenization. The chairman stated that these investments are “clearly the right choice” and have an expected 10x return on some projects. From the actions of major institutions, staking yields, application ecosystems, and tokenization tracks are becoming the three main focus areas for institutional-level capital.

Laughing and losing this one, the big players really know how to play [Funny] $13 billion in floating losses, $2.3 billion still daring to boast about earning $400 million annually, I can't do this math Institutions have to cut themselves before cutting others, this is called a demonstration effect Staking yields sound good, but you have to hold until that day

Wait a minute, a floating loss of 2.3 billion and still bragging about annual revenue of 400 million, it's just paper profit.

13 billion USD floating loss of 2.3 billion still can sleep well, this is the confidence of institutions. Staking yields of 400 million per year are indeed attractive, but this wave of momentum is a bit fierce... Starting to bottom out since July last year, I really haven't caught the full move. Having such a large short-term floating loss and still calmly talking about returns, I need to learn this mindset. Institution-level strategies are different; while retail investors are still struggling with holding losses, they have already planned their staking yields. This operation has a bit of a gambling feel, betting that future staking can withstand the current floating losses.

2.3 billion unrealized losses are still being accounted for in the profit calculation. How dangerous is this collateralization ratio level...
