Fenwick represented Jeffrey Berns, a pioneering blockchain investor, in his 150,000 ETH (currently valued at approximately $654M) investment in The Ether Machine, a planned public company following a pending business combination with Dynamix Corporation (Nasdaq: ETHM).
Formed through a pending business combination between The Ether Reserve, LLC and Dynamix Corp, The Ether Machine is an Ethereum yield and infrastructure company purpose-built for institutional management and scale. Anchored by one of the largest on-chain ETH positions of any public entity, The Ether Machine is expected to generate and optimize ETH-denominated returns through staking, restaking, and secure, professionally risk-managed DeFi participation. The company also plans to provide turnkey infrastructure solutions for enterprises, DAOs, and Ethereum-native builders seeking access to Ethereum’s consensus and blockspace economy.
