BitMine Names Chi Tsang CEO, Adds Three Directors in Ethereum Treasury Push

The company reports roughly 3.5 million ETH with a stated goal of reaching 5% ownership.

Overview

  • Appointments take effect immediately, with Robert Sechan, Olivia Howe and Jason Edgeworth joining the board alongside Tsang.
  • BitMine says it controls about 2.9% of the Ethereum network, and independent reports peg its holdings near 3.5 million ETH worth roughly $11.2 billion.
  • BMNR shares fell on the day and are down roughly a third over the past month as ether prices declined and U.S. Ethereum ETFs saw about $728 million in weekly outflows.
  • The former bitcoin miner pivoted earlier this year to an Ethereum-focused treasury strategy under chairman Tom Lee.
  • The company highlights backing from ARK Invest, Founders Fund, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and Bill Miller, and ARK purchased about $2 million of BMNR shares on Nov. 7.
