BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) has significantly expanded its Ethereum holdings after acquiring 32,447 ETH last week. This move brings BitMine's total ETH stake to 5.847 million, marking its largest purchase since July.

In a statement, Chairman Thomas Lee hinted that the recent price surge could be a launch point for a larger move in Ethereum. He cited two precedent instances where a weekly gain of over 30% signaled a significant increase in value: in July 2021, ETH gained 167%, and after May 2025, it rose by 170%.

Lee also emphasized that easing financial conditions will be a positive factor for cryptocurrencies. Additionally, he pointed out the potential for tokenization and agentic AI on blockchains to drive a rally in the ETH/BTC ratio, similar to how ICOs, NFTs, and stablecoins did in previous years.
