BitMine’s Ethereum holdings surpass 3.3 million ether after latest 77,055 ETH purchase
Summary
Ethereum treasury company BitMine Immersion announced its total ETH holdings have surpassed 3.3 million tokens, valued at approximately $13.7 billion, following its latest weekly purchase of 77,055 ETH, worth about $319 million at current prices. This makes BitMine the largest Ethereum treasury holder globally, significantly ahead of its nearest competitors. The company's total crypto and cash holdings reached $14.2 billion as of Monday, which also includes 192 BTC and stakes in other firms. BitMine aims to acquire 5% of Ethereum's circulating supply, currently around 6.04 million ETH. The acquisition news followed a 3.1% rebound in ETH price, which Chairman Tom Lee attributed partly to positive U.S.-China trade talks, noting that crypto performs better when equities rise.
