The Ether Machine announced on 30th July that its affiliate, The Ether Reserve LLC, bought 15,000 ETH at $3,809.97 per token, spending $56,900,000.01 as part of a long-term accumulation plan.
The transaction took place on Ethereum’s 10th birthday and adds to the 319,757 ETH previously acquired. The company still holds up to $407,000,000 in cash for future purchases, reflecting its belief that ether is crucial to the decentralised internet.
Long-Term Strategy
Andrew Keys, Chairman and Co-Founder, said the purchase kicks off the firm’s treasury deployment. He noted the goal is to build an institutional-grade ETH reserve.
Keys added that the plan is to keep accumulating and compounding ether over time, not only as a financial asset but as the foundation of a new internet economy.
The Ether Reserve LLC funded the buy with part of $97 million raised in a private placement. More ether purchases from the remaining proceeds will follow and be announced soon.
Supporting Core Developers
At the same time, Keys made a personal gift of $100,000 to the Protocol Guild. This community-led fund supports Ethereum’s core protocol contributors. The guild has dispersed millions to over 150 long-term researchers, developers, and maintainers.

Trading volume over the past day rose by 1.42%, showing steady interest in the token. Investors and observers saw The Ether Machine’s announcement as a sign of confidence in Ethereum’s future.
About The Ether Machine
The Ether Machine is set up through a planned merger between The Ether Reserve LLC and Dynamix Corporation, a Nasdaq-listed special-purpose acquisition company. Once the deal closes, it will hold one of the largest on-chain ETH positions among public firms.
The company will seek to generate returns by staking, restaking, and managing risk-adjusted DeFi activities. It will also offer enterprise-grade infrastructure for businesses, DAOs, and other builders who need secure access to Ethereum’s consensus and blockspace services.
With 334,757 ETH now committed and nearly half a billion dollars ready for future buys, The Ether Machine aims to deepen its ether holdings over the next months.
