Our Mission

We believe Ethereum will play a key role
in the global financial system.

Everyone deserves access to the emerging onchain economy.

As Ethereum evolves towards being the financial system’s settlement layer, we believe opportunities for superior yields will emerge... for those who know where to look.

Through its unique strategies and access to capital markets, ETHZilla aims to accumulate more ETH per share over time - giving investors increased exposure to one of the most important assets in the world.

Our Strategy

To achieve our mission, ETH must be more than just held: it must be staked, restaked, and strategically deployed throughout the onchain economy.

By partnering with some of the world's top yield generation experts, we plan to put our ETH to work, supplementing staking yields with additional onchain strategies.

Our first partner is Electric Capital. We are looking forward to having more onchain partners to support the Ethereum ecosystem.

Our Operations

180 Life Sciences is adopting an innovative Ethereum Treasury Strategy, expanding into digital asset infrastructure and onchain capital innovation. Going forward, the company plans to operate as ETHZilla, signaling a shift toward Ethereum-native investments and deep alignment with what we believe is the future of the global financial system.

Biotech and Gaming Operations
In addition to its existing biotech assets, 180 Life Sciences continues to maintain and accelerate the deployment and development of its gaming initiatives, opening additional avenues for value creation.
