Ethereum Treasury ETHZilla "Surrenders" Amid Downtrend, Shifts Focus to Real Estate Tokenization Business

BlockBeats News, February 5th, The former 9th largest Ethereum Treasury (DAT) company ETHZilla announced a pivot to real estate tokenization business, has acquired $4.7 million worth of 95 prefabricated and modular homes loans, and plans to tokenize them on the Ethereum Layer 2 network. These loans are secured by first mortgages, with an expected annual return of around 10%, to be transformed into cash flow.

ETHZilla decided to transform after a drop in its Ethereum holdings and stock price, with its stock price plummeting over 90% from its peak of $107 in August 2025, and sold over $1.1 billion worth of Ethereum last year for buybacks and debt repayment.
