Bitmine ETH holdings hit 4.3M as firm buys $83M Ethereum in a day

Bitmine Immersion Technologies has pushed its Ethereum treasury to new highs, with total ETH holdings now standing at 4.326 million tokens, as the firm continued aggressive accumulation despite ongoing volatility in the crypto market.

The Tom Lee–chaired company disclosed in a recent press release that its Ethereum stash now represents around 3.6% of ETH’s total circulating supply, cementing Bitmine’s position as the largest known corporate holder of the asset.

Combined with Bitcoin and cash reserves, Bitmine’s total crypto and cash holdings are valued at approximately $10 billion.

Fresh $83M ETH buy signals continued accumulation

On-chain data flagged by Lookonchain shows that Bitmine added significantly to its position on Monday.

According to the analytics account, the firm purchased 20,000 ETH worth about $42.3 million from BitGo, following an earlier buy of the same size.

“Bitmine has been steadily buying Ethereum, as we view this pullback as attractive, given the strengthening fundamentals. In our view, the price of ETH is not reflective of the high utility of ETH and its role as the future of finance,” said Tom Lee, Executive Chairman of Bitmine. 

Staking strategy anchors long-term bet on Ethereum

Bitmine said nearly 2.9 million ETH of its total holdings are currently staked, generating yield through its expanding Ethereum infrastructure operations. The company added that its ETH-focused strategy is aimed at long-term value creation rather than short-term price movements.

Chairman Tom Lee described recent price weakness as an opportunity, citing Ethereum’s history of sharp recoveries following deep drawdowns and pointing to staking yields as an additional source of return.

Ethereum has struggled to regain upside momentum amid broader risk-off sentiment across crypto markets. Still, Bitmine’s continued buying underscores growing interest among institutional players in Ethereum as a treasury asset, even as near-term price action remains uncertain.
