Republic Technologies – The First Publicly Listed Ethereum Treasury
Republic Technologies (the “Company”) is a publicly traded company pioneering an Ethereum-backed corporate treasury strategy. Unlike Bitcoin-focused approaches employed by MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, the Company leverages Ethereum’s role as the first and most widely adopted foundational layer of programmable financial infrastructure.
The Company strategically accumulates ETH and provides institutional-grade exposure via structured equity and debt products. This strategy unlocks sidelined capital in traditional markets and supports broader institutional adoption of digital assets.
The leadership team brings decades of combined experience in traditional finance and digital assets from firms including Apollo Global Management, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Canaccord Genuity. Since its Q1 2025 acquisition, the team has successfully transitioned the Company into a fully compliant, Ethereum-focused public entity poised for sustained, long-term growth.
