"Finances
Let us start off by providing an overview of the Foundation’s financial situation. Its current holdings are roughly:
200,000 CHF
1,800 BTC
2,700,000 ETH
Plus a 490,000 CHF legal fund that will be reserved to cover possible legal defense (it’s like insurance). The foundation’s monthly expenditures are currently ~410,000 CHF and starting Oct 1 are projected to fall to 340,000 CHF; a mid-term goal has been placed of 200,000 – 250,000 CHF as a good target that allows us to deliver on our remaining, but important responsibilities. Assuming that we get there in three months and that ether and bitcoin prices stay the same (heh), we have enough to last until roughly Jun 2016 at the 340,000 rate, and perhaps up to Sep-Dec 2016 given planned transitions; by that point, the intent is for the foundation to secure alternative revenue sources."
My reading of their situation is that, since a very large part of the Foundation's assets are in ETH (2,700,000) and since they are burning through funds at a rate of between 340,000CHF and 410,000CHF a MONTH:
If the market cap/valuation of ETH continues to drop, they are in deep deep trouble.
