BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), the largest corporate holder of Ethereum (ETH) worldwide, announced on Monday that it had made a significant new purchase of nearly 61,000 ETH.\u00a0<\/p>\n
BitMine\u2019s latest transaction, comprising 60,976 Ethereum tokens, marks the company\u2019s largest weekly acquisition in terms of tokens so far in 2026. Following this acquisition, BitMine\u2019s total ETH holdings<\/a> have risen to 4.5 million tokens.<\/p>\n Notably, BitMine now holds around 3.76% of the total Ethereum supply, positioning itself over 75% of the way toward its ambitious target dubbed the \u201cAlchemy of 5%\u201d within just eight months.<\/p>\n In addition to its cryptocurrency holdings, BitMine disclosed <\/a>that it has 3,040,483 ETH staked, which is valued at approximately $6 billion based on an ETH price of $1,965 at the time of the company\u2019s disclosure.\u00a0<\/p>\n The firm\u2019s total assets, including cash and other cryptocurrencies, have reached $10.3 billion, comprising 4.535 million ETH tokens, $1.2 billion in cash holdings, and various other crypto assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n As Ethereum prices stabilize above the crucial $2,000 support level, CEO Tom Lee highlighted the resilience of ETH amidst rising geopolitical tensions<\/a> and increasing oil prices.<\/p>\n Lee commented on the current market conditions, expressing confidence that crypto prices are entering the final stages of what he referred to as a \u201cmini-crypto winter.\u201d <\/p>\n Ethereum prices showed resilience this week, in the face of rising war concerns and surging oil prices. We continue to believe that crypto prices are in the late\/final stages of the \u2018mini-crypto winter.<\/p>\n Lee also noted that ETH price movements are tracking trends observed in the S&P 500 <\/a>during the falls of 2011 and 1987.\u00a0According to analyses from BitMine\u2019s advisor, Tom DeMark of DeMark Analytics, these historical connections show correlations of up to 89% and 93% with the S&P 500\u2019s behavior during those periods.\u00a0<\/p>\n The analyst also predicts that Ethereum prices are likely to reach their lowest point between 8 and 14 March, potentially dipping just below the recent low of $1,740. This could equate to a decline of around 14% from current trading prices.<\/p>\n Lee also added that BitMine\u2019s strategy involves slightly increasing the pace of its ETH accumulation<\/a>, enhancing its recent buying activity from an average of 45,000 to 50,000 ETH per week to the latest purchase of 60,976 ETH.<\/p>\n On Monday, Ethereum experienced a 4% gain, allowing the token to reclaim the $2,000 mark after a brief dip below that key level over the weekend. Concurrently, BitMine\u2019s stock, BMNR, also showed positive movement, trading at $20.70 per share at the time of writing, marking a significant 10% rally <\/a>for the company.<\/p>\n Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), the largest corporate holder of Ethereum (ETH) worldwide, announced on Monday that it had made a significant new purchase of nearly 61,000 ETH.\u00a0 BitMine Holds 3.7% Of Total Ethereum Supply BitMine\u2019s latest transaction, comprising 60,976 Ethereum tokens, marks the company\u2019s largest weekly acquisition in terms of tokens so far in 2026.
