The Ether Machine to go public with over $1.4bn of fully committed capital

The Ether Machine, Inc. is expected to launch through a definitive business combination between The Ether Reserve, LLC and Dynamix Corporation (NASDAQ: DYNX), creating a public-market vehicle for institutional-grade exposure to Ethereum and ETH-denominated yield.

Assuming an illustrative $2,950 ETH price.

Ether Machine is now expected to go public with over 495,362 ether, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency, worth $1.46 billion, and another $367.1 million remaining in capital to acquire additional ether.

About The Ether Machine & Strategic Rationale

The Ether Machine is designed as an Ethereum yield and infrastructure company purpose-built for institutional management and scale. It intends to generate ETH-denominated returns through staking, restaking, and professionally risk-managed participation in decentralized finance strategies, while also supporting Ethereum-native ecosystem growth and providing turnkey infrastructure solutions.

This combination is a natural fit for Dynamix given its focus on digital infrastructure and enabling next-generation compute. Ethereum is increasingly becoming a foundational layer for programmable value, on-chain identity, and machine-to-machine payments—building blocks that align with AI-driven applications and modern data systems. By supporting secure, institutional-grade Ethereum infrastructure, Dynamix can participate in the growth of an ecosystem that complements the long-term adoption of AI and automated digital services.

The transaction includes a cornerstone contribution of approximately $500 million (169,984 ETH) from Co-Founder and Chairman Andrew Keys and an upsized common stock financing in excess of $735 million at $10.00 per share from institutional and strategic investors. After the initial transaction announcement, the company also announced a 150,000 ETH investment (currently valued at approximately $443mm) by Blockchains Co-Founder Jeffrey Berns, a long-time champion of the Ethereum blockchain. The business combination is expected to close by the first quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and customary closing conditions.
