## AI overview

The Ethereum Foundation's treasury policy describes how it will manage assets, reserves, ETH holdings, and grant allocation while balancing returns, risk, liquidity, sustainability, and its stewardship role in the Ethereum ecosystem. It sets current targets of 15% of the treasury for annual operating expenditure and a 2.5-year operating buffer, with regular reviews based on market conditions and community input.
