TREE NEWS update: Bitmine purchased $68 million worth of ether, bringing its total holdings close to 6 million ETH and nearer to its stated goal of owning 5% of Ethereum’s supply. Most of the company’s tokens are earning staking rewards, it said. The company did not disclose the timing of the purchase beyond the latest addition.
Bitmine Adds $68 Million in Ethereum, Holdings Approach 6 Million ETH
The scale of Bitmine's position makes it a structural holder rather than a trading vehicle, so its accumulation matters less for daily price action than for the staking layer: most of the tokens are working, which concentrates validator influence in a single corporate treasury. That cuts both ways for Ethereum's decentralization narrative, and the silence on purchase timing leaves room to wonder how much of the buying was pre-planned. Whether Bitmine reaches its stated 5% goal, and how the market treats a single entity approaching that threshold, is the open question.
