Bitmine Immersion Technologies has pushed its Ethereum treasury to new highs, with total ETH holdings now standing at 4.326 million tokens, as the firm continued aggressive accumulation despite ongoing volatility in the crypto market.
The Tom Lee–chaired company disclosed in a recent press release that its Ethereum stash now represents around 3.6% of ETH’s total circulating supply, cementing Bitmine’s position as the largest known corporate holder of the asset.
Combined with Bitcoin and cash reserves, Bitmine’s total crypto and cash holdings are valued at approximately $10 billion.
On-chain data flagged by Lookonchain shows that Bitmine added significantly to its position on Monday.
According to the analytics account, the firm purchased 20,000 ETH worth about $42.3 million from BitGo, following an earlier buy of the same size.
“Bitmine has been steadily buying Ethereum, as we view this pullback as attractive, given the strengthening fundamentals. In our view, the price of ETH is not reflective of the high utility of ETH and its role as the future of finance,” said Tom Lee, Executive Chairman of Bitmine.
Bitmine said nearly 2.9 million ETH of its total holdings are currently staked, generating yield through its expanding Ethereum infrastructure operations. The company added that its ETH-focused strategy is aimed at long-term value creation rather than short-term price movements.
Chairman Tom Lee described recent price weakness as an opportunity, citing Ethereum’s history of sharp recoveries following deep drawdowns and pointing to staking yields as an additional source of return.
Ethereum has struggled to regain upside momentum amid broader risk-off sentiment across crypto markets. Still, Bitmine’s continued buying underscores growing interest among institutional players in Ethereum as a treasury asset, even as near-term price action remains uncertain.


BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
