MrBeast’s Media Empire Lands $200M Bet From Ethereum Powerhouse Bitmine

  • Bitmine is investing 200 million dollars in MrBeast’s company to target younger demographics and expects a tenfold return on the deal.
  • The firm expects its 13 billion dollar Ethereum portfolio to generate 400 million dollars in annual staking income despite holding 2.3 billion dollars in unrealised losses.
  • Chairman Tom Lee aims to close the deal by January 19 to unite the top global creator with the largest corporate Ethereum platform.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum (ETH), said it will invest US$200 million (AU$298 million) in Beast Industries, the company behind YouTube creator Jimmy Donaldson, or better known as MrBeast.

Tom Lee, the firm’s Chairman, revealed the deal in an interview with CNBC and is expected to close by Jan. 19.

I think we are easily going to make a moonshot return on that – 10x. He’s the iconic content creator of our generation.

Reaching Out to Gen Z?

Beast Industries has built an audience of more than 450 million subscribers across its YouTube channels and has expanded into consumer products such as Feastables chocolate bars and social impact work through Beast Philanthropy. 

Lee said the stake gives it exposure to a brand with strong reach among Gen Z and millennials.

I think it’s part of the sort of evolution of digital platforms and money, and I think it’s really uniting the No. 1 creator in the world with the biggest ethereum platform in the world.

Tom Lee, Bitmine Chairman.

Shortly after the MrBeast announcement, Lee said in a note to investors the same day that the company expects to generate over US$400 million (AU$612 million) in annual pre-tax income from its roughly US$13 billion (AU$19.8 billion) worth of ETH, primarily through staking.

Lee also said Bitmine “probably saved” about US$400 million (AU$612 million) on Ether purchases in recent months, crediting advisory firm MOZAYXX and technician Tom DeMark for the execution strategy. 

Despite that, the company’s ETH position is still showing about US$2.3 billion (AU$3.5 billion) in unrealised losses since it began buying ETH in July, following sharp swings in crypto markets.

‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure

The post ‘Groundbreaking’: Barry Silbert Reacts to Approval of ETF with XRP Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A “combo” ETF  Crypto ETF trailblazer  Digital Currency Group founder Barry Silbert has reacted to the approval of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund  (GDLC), the very first multi-crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF), describing it as “groundbreaking.”  “Grayscale continues to be the first mover, driving new product innovations that bridge tradfi and digital assets,” Silbert said while commenting on the news.  Peter Mintzberg, chief executive officer at Graysacle, claims that the team behind the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset manager is working “expeditiously” in order to bring the product to the market.  A “combo” ETF  The ETF in question offers exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), as well as several other major altcoins, including the Ripple-linked XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). XRP, for instance, has a 5.2% share of the fund, making it the third-largest constituent.  The fund initially debuted as a private placement for accredited investors back in early 2018, and its shares later became available on over-the-counter (OTC) markets.  In early July, the SEC approved the conversion of GDLC into an ETF, but it was then abruptly halted for a “review” shortly after this.  As of Sept. 17, the fund currently has a total of $915.6 million in assets.  Crypto ETF trailblazer  It is worth noting that Grayscale is usually credited with kickstarting the cryptocurrency ETF craze by winning its court case against the SEC.  The SEC ended up approving Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and then followed up with Ethereum ETFs.  Grayscale’s flagship GBTC currently boasts more than $20.5 billion in net assets, according to data provided by SoSoValue.  Source: https://u.today/groundbreaking-barry-silbert-reacts-to-approval-of-etf-with-xrp-exposure
