The latest purchase puts Bitmine closer to its goal of owning 5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. Its current position represents about 4.7%, making the company the largest Ethereum treasury holder and one of the few major digital-asset treasury firms still buying consistently during the market downturn.
Bitmine also reported holding 206 bitcoin, $555 million in cash and marketable securities, and investments in Beast Industries and Eightco Holdings. Together, its crypto assets, cash and other investments were valued at approximately $9.8 billion.
However, the pace of accumulation has slowed. The latest purchase was Bitmine’s smallest since early May, compared with 52,203 ETH acquired the previous week and 126,971 ETH in a batch earlier in June.
Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee said quarter-end “window dressing” was contributing to market weakness as investors reduced positions in assets that had declined over the previous three months. Bitcoin and ether were on course for a third consecutive quarterly loss, with BTC down 12% and ETH down 25% in the second quarter, according to CoinGlass data cited by the source.
