Bitmine made its largest ETH purchase this year despite Tom Lee's slowdown suggestion
Summary
Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) has significantly increased its Ethereum holdings, purchasing 111,942 ETH last week for approximately $237 million. This move contradicts earlier indications from chairman Tom Lee that the firm would slow its accumulation pace. Bitmine now holds nearly 5.4 million ETH, representing roughly 4.47% of the circulating supply, as it aims to reach a 5% target by the end of 2026. The firm cited the drop in ETH prices below $2,200 as an attractive buying opportunity. Additionally, Bitmine has staked 87% of its ETH holdings, generating about $276 million in annualized revenue.
