According to CoinMarketCap, the ETH will amount to roughly $43 million at Tuesday’s prices.

“Conversions will take place over multiple smaller orders, rather than as a single large transaction,” the EF wrote in the post on X.

The news follows the EF’s rollout of a new treasury policy, shared earlier in June, that caps annual operational spending (opex) at 15%, establishes a multi-year reserve buffer and sets a gradual pace toward even leaner spending long-term.

The Foundation sold an additional 10,000 ETH to SharpLink Gaming in July, making it the first publicly traded company to buy ETH from a key firm in the network’s ecosystem.

Tuesday’s announcement comes as ETH price has skyrocketed, reaching an all-time high in late August at $4,866.

ETH was trading around $4,330 as of U.S. afternoon hours Tuesday, up about 2% in the past 24 hours.

98.27% of SOL stakers that voted approved the proposal, with only 1.05% voting against and 0.36% abstaining. In total, 52% of the network’s stake participated in the vote.

What to know:

  • The Solana community voted overwhelmingly in favor of the long-awaited Alpenglow upgrade, bringing the network one step closer to the most significant technical transformation in its history.
  • The upgrade introduces a new consensus protocol designed to dramatically improve transaction finality and network efficiency.
  • At the heart of Alpenglow are two new components, Votor and Rotor, which will replace Solana’s existing systems, Proof-of-History and TowerBFT.
