Tom Lee's Ethereum Treasury BitMine Boosts ETH Holdings to Nearly $10 Billion

Bitcoin miner BitMine Immersion has over $10.7 billion mostly in Ethereum on its balance sheet, the company announced on Monday. 

The Nasdaq-listed firm, which trades as BMNR, said that it currently held 2,151,676 ETH, worth $9.7 billion and 192 Bitcoin worth nearly $22 million at today's prices. It added that it also had unencumbered cash of $569 million, a $214 million stake in crypto treasury Eightco, and "other crypto holdings."

"As we mentioned in our August Chairman's message, the convergence of both Wall Street moving onto the blockchain and AI/ agentic-AI creating a token economy is creating a supercycle for Ethereum," Fundstrat Global Advisors Managing Partner Tom Lee said in a statement. 

The Peter Thiel-backed company is the biggest corporate holder of ETH, the second largest cryptocurrency by market value.  

In May, BitMine pivoted to raising money to buy ETH. Lee, the brains behind BitMine's ETH stacking strategy, has long been bullish on BTC but has said that Ethereum could be the "next Bitcoin" thanks to institutional interest in the coin. In his statement, he reiterated the company's aim to acquire 5% of the total Ethereum supply. 


"We continue to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years," Lee said. "Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today's financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum."

Consumers more widely are also upbeat about Ethereum. In a Myriad market, nearly 70% of the participants believe that ETH is more likely to reach $5,000 than sink to $3,500. Ethereum was currently trading a little above $4,520, down 1.6% over the past 24 hours, although it is up 78% over the past three months, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko.
