βWe choose to hold the majority of our treasury in ETH. The EF believes in Ethereumβs potential, and our ETH holdings represent that long-term perspective.β
Conservative Treasury Management Policy
The foundation addressed recent sales of ETH, explaining that its goal is to fund βimportant public goods for the Ethereum ecosystem for years into the future.β This strategy involves a βconservative treasury management policyβ to ensure the organization has sufficient resources, even during a multi-year market downturn.

The report also detailed 2023 spending, showing that the largest share β 30.4% (or $32.1 million) β was allocated to layer-1 research and development initiatives. This was followed by 27.1% (or $28.6 million), directed towards funding new institutions, including grants supporting organizations dedicated to the Ethereum ecosystem.
