¹ Total ETH holdings are comprised of 601,143 native ETH and 258,710 ETH as-if redeemed from LsETH.

⁴ To enhance transparency into the Company’s yield performance, SharpLink tracks a reporting metric called “ETH Concentration.” This metric is calculated by dividing the number of ETH, including the as-if redeemed LsETH, SharpLink holds by each 1,000 assumed diluted shares issued and outstanding (“Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding”). Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding represents the sum of (i) SharpLink’s actual shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the end of each reporting period, inclusive of disclosed ATM sales, plus (ii) the additional shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise or settlement of all outstanding warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock option awards, and restricted stock units. Notably, Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding is not calculated using the treasury stock method. It does not account for equity award vesting conditions, stock option exercise prices, or contractual restrictions limiting the convertibility of debt instruments. Additionally, it excludes any assumed share repurchases that would ordinarily be considered under the treasury stock method. Cash-converted basis assumes full cash deployment into ETH at week-ending closing price.

All references herein to “as-if redeemed LsETH” represents ETH as-if redeemed from LsETH on October 19, 2025 based on the LsETH conversion factor at midnight UTC on that date.
