Joe Lubin-backed SharpLink Gaming moves to sell $5 billion more worth of common stock to fund ETH purchases

SharpLink Gaming (ticker SBET), a Minnesota-based affiliate marketing firm and largest corporate holder of ETH, increased the total amount of sellable stock to $6 billion on Thursday. 

The move, indicated as a “prospectus supplement” with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, drastically increases the amount of its equity the firm is looking to issue from $1 billion initially proposed on May 30 to $6 billion in total to fund additional ETH purchases. 

“We are filing this Prospectus Supplement to amend the Prior Prospectus to update the amount of shares of Common Stock we are eligible to sell pursuant to such prospectus,” the firm wrote in the July 17 updated prospectus. “With this Prospectus Supplement, we are increasing the total amount of Common Stock that may be sold under the Sales Agreement to $6 billion, comprising of up to $1 billion under the Prior Prospectus and an additional $5 billion under this Prospectus Supplement.”

The firm notes it has made “gross sales” of approximately $721 million worth of stock sold pursuant to the “prior prospectus.” It notes it “may sell an additional $279,166,115 of Common Stock under the Prior Prospectus” as well as an additional $5 billion under its prospectus supplement submitted on Thursday.
