Accumulates $73 Million Worth of ETH in One Week
BitMine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR), the Ethereum treasury company chaired by Fundstrat's chairman Tom Lee, purchased 42,197 ETH worth approximately $73 million in the past week. According to the company's Monday holdings update, this accumulation increased BitMine's total ETH holdings to 5,742,237 ETH, representing about 4.8% of Ethereum's circulating supply.
BitMine's official account disclosed that the company's total crypto and other holdings are valued at $11.1 billion. This includes its ETH holdings valued at $1,800 per token, 206 BTC, a $180 million equity stake in Beast Industries, and a $71 million equity stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS). The company also holds $527 million in cash and marketable securities.
Staked Holdings Unchanged
Notably, BitMine's total staked ETH amount is 4,879,157 ETH, unchanged from the previous week—despite the growth in total holdings, the company did not increase its staking position.
This latest purchase continues the consistent accumulation strategy, solidifying BitMine's position as the largest corporate holder of ETH. The Defiant previously reported in June on Lee publicly defending the company's funding model (after insiders warned of a cash shortfall). Lee has also publicly characterized crypto assets as a "wartime store of value" in his comments.
At this pace, BitMine is steadily advancing towards its proclaimed goal of controlling 5% of ETH's total supply. BitMine's stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BMNR.
The scale of the $73 million purchase and the 4.8% share of circulation are consistent across data from multiple independent market trackers, although BitMine's official post did not separate this week's purchase amount from the cumulative total.
