Inside the LINK
Last month, Chainlink launched its Chainlink Reserve, a strategic onchain treasury designed for the acquisition of LINK tokens. Since then, the reserve has increased its total holdings 300% to about 193,100 LINK tokens, or $4.4 million via offchain and onchain revenue.
Throughout the month of August, Chainlink has made weekly purchases of LINK tokens on:
August 7: 65,543 LINK
August 14: 44,110 LINK
August 21: 44,106 LINK
August 28: 42,298 LINK
According to LINK’s price movement, these purchases each brought in at least $1 million.
Based on this data, we can expect Chainlink’s next purchase to occur on September 4, 2025 and assume its total holdings will increase by at least $1 million. According to current prices, this would mean the reserve would acquire around 43,000 more LINK, bringing it over 200,000 tokens in total.
Collectively, its previous LINK acquisitions and expected future ones exhibit Chainlink’s commitment to building an onchain economy where it stands at the forefront of infrastructure standards.
Since this initiative is funded through offchain and onchain revenue, it means money coming into the network is being used in a productive way such as for long-term growth and sustainability. Instead of sitting idle or being funneled into incentives that may be short-term minded, LINK tokens are being reinvested into strengthening the ecosystem.
In turn, this creates a flywheel effect where as more capital flows into the network, it results in improvements for infrastructure, user experience and ecosystem development, thus driving greater participation. That increased participation then fuels additional onchain activity and offchain opportunities, generating more revenue that can be cycled back into growth.
Looking ahead, this compounding loop positions the network to scale sustainably, while reinforcing the reserve’s long-term value proposition.
