What is liquid staking for Ether treasuries?

Liquid staking lets ETH holders stake tokens and get a liquid derivative (like stETH) to use in DeFi, boosting yields beyond native staking's 2.7%. Treasuries use it for collateral, borrowing, extra returns.

Do Ether treasuries beat staked ETH ETFs?

Not always yet—ETFs yield 2-2.5% net. Treasuries aim higher via active plays like basis trading, but losses like SharpLink's $734M show risks. Premiums bet on 4-6% potential.

Why are companies adopting liquid staking now?

ETFs flooded market with passive yields. Treasuries need differentiation—liquid staking unlocks DeFi alpha, as SharpLink (33% rewards from it) and BTCS prove in SEC filings.
