TREE NEWS update: Bitmine (NYSE: BMNR) added 9,587 ETH in the past week, lifting its total holdings to 6,070,092 ETH, worth about $13.6 billion and equal to 4.97% of Ethereum’s supply, the company disclosed on Nov. 10. That puts the digital asset treasury firm at 99% of its “Alchemy of 5%” goal set when it launched its ETH treasury strategy on June 30, 2025. Chairman Tom Lee has said 5% is a hard cap, meaning Bitmine’s weekly net buying of 8,000 to 15,000 ETH will stop once the final gap is filled.
Bitmine nears 5% ETH supply target with 6.07M tokens held
Bitmine is close to exhausting its own stated demand, which matters more than the milestone itself: a self-imposed 5% cap converts a steady weekly buyer into a finite one, and the market has been pricing that flow. The concentration is the other story — a single NYSE-listed treasury vehicle approaching 5% of Ethereum's supply raises questions about how that position is custodied, disclosed and eventually exited. Whether Bitmine halts cleanly at the cap, and whether other treasuries fill the demand gap it leaves, is the open question worth watching.
