BitMine Isn’t Stopping! Buys $2B Worth of ETH

Crypto mining company, BitMine Immersion Technologies, has made another huge move to solidify its position as the largest Ethereum (ETH) holder among public companies. The firm announced that it has purchased 317,126 ETH (worth $2 billion), boosting its total holdings to 1,150,263 coins.

This acquisition is part of BitMine’s ambitious “5% strategy,” a plan to eventually control up to 5% of the Ethereum supply. The company’s approach includes acquiring ETH in large volumes and staking it to generate yield, turning Ether into its primary treasury reserve asset. With ETH’s current price at $4,296, BitMine’s latest buy shows its strong confidence in the long-term value of the cryptocurrency.

Now the Largest ETH Treasury Globally

With a portfolio of over 1.15 million ETH, BitMine ranks as the leading ETH treasury globally.

Interestingly, the firm attained this position in less than two months. BitMine began its ETH acquisition spree in late June. At the time, the firm raised $250 million to purchase the second-largest crypto asset. Since then, BitMine has captured the attention of industry leaders like ARK Invest, who have supported its ETH-buying practice.

Chairman of BitMine’s Board of Directors, Tom Lee, described the company’s rapid progress as “the alchemy of 5%,” referring to the scale and efficiency of their buying strategy. While firms like Strategy made headlines with massive Bitcoin holdings, BitMine is doing the same with Ethereum, and at a rapid pace.

A Bold Bet on Ethereum’s Future

BitMine’s strategy positions it to benefit from Ethereum’s potential growth as a blockchain powering decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other Web3 innovations. By staking its ETH holdings, the company can earn additional income while holding the asset, giving it the advantage of growing in value while also earning income.

Alongside its growing ETH holdings, the mining company has also announced a massive $1 billion stock buyback program, aiming to increase shareholder value while reinforcing its aggressive Ethereum acquisition strategy. BitMine’s stock is currently trading at $63, representing a 22.2% surge in the past 24 hours. This shows strong investor confidence in the company’s bold Ethereum buying strategy and growth plans.

With more purchases expected, BitMine’s ETH treasury could soon exceed $5 billion, further cementing its dominance in the crypto treasury space.
