TREE NEWS update: Bitmine, chaired by Tom Lee, bought $74 million worth of ether, lifting its holdings to nearly 5.99 million ETH, or 4.9% of the token’s supply. Lee declared a crypto bull market “underway,” pointing to Ethereum’s outperformance as a signal of a stronger move ahead, with institutions still underweight.
Tom Lee’s Bitmine Adds $74M in Ethereum, Stash Nears 4.9% of Supply
The scale is the story: a single corporate treasury approaching 5% of ETH's supply turns Bitmine into a structural holder whose accumulation pace matters more than any one purchase. Lee's bull call is self-interested, given his chairmanship, so the more useful signal is the stated institutional underweighting — that framing positions further corporate buying as the thesis to test. Whether other treasuries follow Bitmine's lead, and whether that concentration invites scrutiny, is the open question.
