The Ether Machine Nets First 1,000+ ETH in Yield from Fully-Staked Ethereum Treasury

NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ether Machine, Inc., a planned public company following a pending business combination with Dynamix Corporation (Nasdaq: ETHM) ("Dynamix") and The Ether Reserve LLC, announced today that it has accrued 1,350 net new ether (ETH) as yield (currently valued at approximately $5.6M) through its actively managed ETH staking strategy.¹ These rewards were generated at some of the lowest costs in the industry due to the Ether Machine's vertical integration, which spares shareholders from the asset management fees charged to other digital asset treasury companies. The Ether Reserve's treasury is fully staked onchain, with validators consistently ranked among the top 5% for staking reward efficiency across its active validator set, meaning the ETH already deployed is generating market-leading yield.

"The Ether Machine was formed by the original believers in the power of Ethereum and ETH as the most attractive, productive asset in the digital economy. Today's staking reward milestone is a validation of our strategy as the best vehicle for institutional-grade public exposure to Ethereum, optimizing yield and continually increasing ETH generation per share," said Andrew Keys, Co-Founder and Chairman of The Ether Machine.

The Ether Machine is a purpose-built digital asset treasury structured to generate and optimize ETH-denominated yield through staking, restaking, and participating in the broader EthereumDeFi ecosystem. The Ether Machine's founding team has significant institutional ETH staking experience, including Tim Lowe, Chief Technology Officer of The Ether Machine, who was Head of Staking for Consensys and Chief Technology Officer at DARMA Capital, staking billions of dollars of ETH across roughly 15,000 validators, where they were consistently in the top 5% for yield generation, without ever experiencing a slashing event.

On July 21, 2025, The Ether Machine announced $800 million in committed capital from institutional investors and a direct personal contribution from Chairman and Co-Founder Andrew Keys of 169,984 ETH (currently valued at approximately [$712M]). Earlier this month, the company also announced a 150,000 ETH investment (currently valued at approximately [$654M]) by Blockchains Co-Founder Jeffrey Berns, a long-time champion of the Ethereum blockchain. The Ether Machine intends to be the leading institutional holder and advocate of Ethereum assets, committed to accretive capital strategies that increase ETH generation per share over time.

The Ether Machine recently announced the confidential submission of a draft registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, retaining KPMG as its auditor. The Ether Machine anticipates the close of its proposed transaction in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Dynamix shareholders.
