Change in Treasury Policy

The foundation announced its plans to move part of its reserves into staking back on February 24. In total, the Ethereum Foundation intends to delegate 70,000 coins.

The first transaction under this strategy took place on February 24, amounting to 2016 $ETH.

The community welcomed these actions, noting that now the organization is making Ethereum ($ETH) work for the security of the network instead of creating selling pressure, which typically negatively affects prices.

The previous fund transfer to staking of approximately $46 million occurred on March 30. The coins received as rewards are planned to be distributed across three key areas.

The funds will go to the technical development of the core protocol.

The earnings will be allocated to grant support for the community.

The foundation will finance ongoing research needed for ecosystem development.

Institutional Interest in Validation

Ethereum Foundation is not the only large player increasing its presence in staking. On March 25, 2026, Bitmine launched its own platform for locking ether called MAVAN.

According to internal data from the corporation, by March 24, the volume of assets that Bitmine had already locked in the network amounted to about 3.142 million $ETH.
