BTCS Expands ETH Holdings to 14,600 Through $2.5M AAVE-Powered Purchase

Silver Spring, Maryland–(Newsfile Corp. – June 20, 2025) – BTCS Inc. (NASDAQ: BTCS) (“BTCS” or the “Company”), a blockchain technology-focused company short for Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions, today announced the acquisition of 1,000 Ether (“ETH”) for approximately $2.5 million through borrowing on AAVE, the leading decentralized lending (“DeFi”) protocol. The purchases were made at an average price of $2,528 per ETH. As a result of using AAVE, there was no shareholder dilution, and the net cost of capital at the time of initiation was approximately 2.78% per year.

As of June 20, 2025, BTCS holds approximately 14,600 ETH, up from 9,063 ETH at the end of Q1 2025—an increase of approximately 61%.

“Our approach has always been slow, steady, and strategic—because that’s what wins the race,” said Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS Inc. “There’s a reason we’re the oldest publicly traded crypto company in the world. Over the past decade, we’ve witnessed a graveyard of failed crypto and blockchain companies. Our longevity is no accident—it’s the result of disciplined execution, foresight, and an unwavering commitment to building long-term value for our shareholders.”
