Overview
- BitMine disclosed the purchase of 82,353 ETH for roughly $300 million, taking its holdings to about 3.4 million ETH, or roughly 2.8% of circulating supply.
- The company reported total crypto, cash and equity assets of approximately $13.7 billion, including 192 BTC, $389 million in unencumbered cash and a $62 million stake in Eightco.
- BMNR shares fell into the low $40s after the update, extending a multi‑session decline as broader crypto prices weakened and a $120 million Balancer exploit added near‑term pressure.
- BitMine remains the largest corporate holder of Ethereum and the second‑largest overall crypto treasury, while peer Strategy reported a fresh 397 BTC purchase last week.
- Reporting notes some prior BitMine ETH transfers were traced to Kraken‑ and BitGo‑linked wallets, and separate analysis says the firm’s ETH cost basis is currently above market prices.
