Bitmine Grows Ethereum Holdings to 5.9 Million Tokens
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc., a NYSE-listed company, has significantly expanded its Ethereum holdings to 5.9 million tokens as cryptocurrency prices outperform traditional markets.
The company's total investments now total USD$15.6 billion, with its Ethereum holding valued at approximately USD$2,511 per token as of Aug. 30.
This represents around 4.9% of the circulating Ethereum supply of 120.7 million tokens, according to Thomas Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, who expects institutional investors to increase cryptocurrency purchases during the remaining months of 2026.
Lee points to recent cryptocurrency performance and potential regulatory changes as catalysts for this growth, with Ethereum outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430 basis points during the third quarter through Friday.
