Recall that the former BTC miner <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitmine-buys-52k-eth-as-tom-lee-believes-the-best-years-for-crypto-are-still-ahead\/\">bought<\/a> over 52,000 ETH in June.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"another-9946-eth-scooped\">Another 9,946 ETH Scooped<\/h2>\n<p>The press release shared by the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/bitmine-immersion-technologies-bmnr-announces-eth-holdings-reach-5-79-million-tokens-and-total-crypto-and-total-cash-holdings-of-11-8-billion-302834876.html\" target=\"_blank\">outlined<\/a> the impressive streak, noting that the firm has acquired some portion of ETH for well over a year. In fact, this accumulation spree began when it launched the Ethereum Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025, and has continued to this day.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase of the 9,946 ETH in the past week brought Bitmine\u2019s total holdings to 5,787,414 ETH, worth well over $11 billion at current prices. However, it still remains deep in the red since its average buying price is nearly twice as high.<\/p>\n<p>Bitmine said it continues with its main goal to bring its total stash to 5% of Ethereum\u2019s total supply. It has now come to less than 0.2% of that target, but it keeps demonstrating that the firm remains committed to accumulating Ethereum despite already controlling nearly one in every 20 ETH in existence.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman Tom Lee is still bullish on the industry and Ethereum in particular, pointing to the strengthening of the ETH\/BTC pair and the recent technical momentum. The largest altcoin has outperformed the market over the past few days, posting another 5% surge daily and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/eth-hits-a-2-month-high-near-2k-bitcoin-reclaims-65k-market-watch\/\">hitting<\/a> a 2-month peak at almost $2,000. Lee believes $2,000 and $2,500 are ETH\u2019s main obstacles on the path to a major recovery.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"staking-continues\">Staking Continues<\/h2>\n<p>In times when the actual number of validators who want to unstake their ETH tokens has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/nobody-wants-to-unstake-ethereum-anymore-heres-why-its-a-big-deal\/\">gone down<\/a> to practically zero, Bitmine doubled down on its strategy to put almost all of its stash to work. The firm revealed that more than 4.9 million tokens have been staked through its institutional platform, MAVAN.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>Staking 85% of its total holdings means that the firm\u2019s seven-day staking yield of 2.65% (annualized) projects annual revenue of approximately $254 million. The company plans to allocate its entire ETH fortune to staking, which would increase the number to roughly $300 million.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pl\/bybit24\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"if(typeof gtag === 'function') { gtag('event', 'footer_ad_ta_click', {'page_path': window.location.pathname, 'exchange': 'bybit', 'link_type': 'main'}); }\">Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/tom-lees-bitmine-keeps-buying-ethereum-treasury-nears-5-8-million-eth\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; There&#8217;s an evident decline in the number of tokens the company has bought lately.
