FG Nexus’s $83M ETH Disaster

by
  • FG Nexus bought 50,770 ETH at $3,860 avg and sold portions near $2,649, locking in $83M in losses. Classic move.
  • Their stock dropped 94% from 2025 highs, even as they fund a $200M share repurchase. Because nothing says “I’m a genius” like losing 94% and buying back shares.
  • ETH trades at $1,940, down 50% from FG Nexus’s entry price. Analysts are now predicting $1,700 support. Because why not?

FG Nexus is having a rough time in the crypto market. The Nasdaq-listed Ethereum treasury firm sold another 7,550 ETH on Wednesday. That sale was worth roughly $14 million. What a great way to make money-by selling at a loss.

It adds to a growing list of losses since the company first built its ETH position. All together, the firm has now lost about $83 million from its original investment. Congrats, you’re now a professional loser.

FG Nexus Bought Big, Then ETH Prices Crashed Hard

The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company started buying Ethereum in August and September 2025. It picked up 50,770 ETH at an average price of $3,860 per token, spending a total of around $196 million. That was a significant bet on Ethereum’s future. Big mistake.

ETH prices dropped more than 50% from those highs. The token fell to near $1,920 at some point, leaving FG Nexus sitting on a painful unrealized loss. Like, “Oh no, my money is gone!”

On October 22, 2025, the firm announced plans to sell property to buy even more ETH. Less than a month later, it started selling instead. Because nothing says “I’m a savvy investor” like selling your own property to buy something that’s already tanking.

According to on-chain tracking account Lookonchain, FG Nexus offloaded 21,025 ETH earlier at an average price of around $2,649. Now, it holds 30,094 ETH valued at roughly $57.5 million. The total damage from the trade sits at $82.8 million in losses. What a way to spend your life savings.

CEO Cites Share Buybacks, But Critics Are Not Impressed

CEO Kyle Cerminara says the proceeds from the ETH sales fund a $200 million share repurchase program. The company has bought back nearly 10 million shares at discounted prices. That may sound like a strategic pivot. But the company’s stock tells a different story, falling 94% from its 2025 highs. Because nothing says “I’m a genius” like losing 94% and buying back shares.

X user Nduyy did not hold back. He called FG Nexus “a masterclass in why conviction without risk management is just gambling.” He pointed out that the firm bought near the top and sold near the bottom, calling it “exit liquidity for the smart money.” Because nothing says “smart” like selling at a loss.

He also noted that the current administration is preparing a $2 trillion framework that could make this selloff look like a costly mistake in hindsight. Because nothing says “I’m a prophet” like predicting a crash after it happens.

Crypto trader Crypto Bully also weighed in on Ethereum’s broader price struggles. He noted that ETH trading below $2,000 “with no signs of life isn’t exactly bullish.” Because nothing says “I’m a genius” like stating the obvious.

ETH below 2k with no signs of life isn’t exactly bullish, on top Vitalik keeps selling his stack. If you are looking to bid you probably have time to do so.

Looking at the lows from earlier this month at $1700 as a bid (not fixed limits but going to wait for my usual OF…

He added that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin continues to sell his holdings, adding more pressure on the price. According to the latest CoinGecko data, ETH is trading at $1,940, up 6.15% in the past 24 hours but down 2.79% over the past week. Because nothing says “I’m a winner” like a 6.15% gain after a 2.79% drop.

For now, FG Nexus still holds over 30,000 ETH. Whether it sells more or holds on remains to be seen. What is clear is that the timing of its buys and sells has cost the firm dearly. Because nothing says “I’m a genius” like losing $83 million.
