Bitmine Boosts Ethereum Holdings, Repurchases Millions in Stock
Bitmine Immersion Technologies has continued its accumulation of Ethereum (ETH) and stock buyback program, purchasing another $19.6 million worth of ETH last week. The company now holds a total of 5,797,813 Ether, valued at approximately $10.9 billion, which represents about 4.8% of the circulating supply of Ether.
