SharpLink Gaming (SBET) saw its stock price plummet 5.43% in pre-market trading on Thursday, as investors appeared to take profits following the company's recent surge tied to Ethereum's price rally. The stock's decline comes after a significant 29.03% gain the previous day, which had pushed SBET to a monthly high of $37.38.
The volatility in SBET's stock price is closely linked to its aggressive Ethereum treasury strategy. SharpLink Gaming, often referred to as the "MicroStrategy of Ethereum," has positioned itself as a major corporate holder of ETH. The company has acquired over 320,000 ETH to date, with an average cost basis of $2,700, resulting in substantial unrealized gains as Ethereum's price continues to climb.
While Ethereum extended its rally on Thursday, jumping 7% in the past 24 hours to reach a six-month high of $3,422, the pullback in SBET's stock suggests that some investors are cashing in on the recent gains. Despite the day's decline, SharpLink Gaming's long-term prospects remain tied to the performance of Ethereum and the broader cryptocurrency market, as the company continues to align itself with the trend of institutional Ethereum adoption.
