The Ethereum Foundation has taken a significant step towards securing its financial future by starting to stake a portion of its treasury holdings. With approximately 70,000 ETH being staked, this move is expected to bolster network security and support operations.
According to the Treasury Policy introduced in June 2025, the foundation aims to maintain an asset-liability model with a 15% annual spending rate relative to total treasury value. This decision marks a shift from relying on direct ETH sales to staking and DeFi strategies for long-term sustainability.
