Buying Pace Stays Elevated As Bitmine Closes In On 5% ETH Supply Goal

Bitmine now holds 4.66% of Ethereum’s total supply of 120.7 million coins, putting the company 93% of the way to its stated goal of owning 5%.

Chairman Tom Lee said the company is maintaining an elevated buying pace because the ETH price pullback does not reflect strengthening Ethereum fundamentals.

“We believe we are in the early stages of crypto spring,” Lee stated. “Bitmine is expected to reach the alchemy of 5% sometime in 2026,” he added.

Total crypto, cash, marketable securities, and moonshot holdings now stand at $10.4 billion, including a $180 million stake in Beast Industries and an $88 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ:ORBS).
