BitMine baut ETH-Schatz auf rekordverdächtige 6,6 Milliarden Dollar aus
BitMine geht all-in: Der Krypto-Gigant hat seine Ethereum-Reserven massiv aufgestockt – und setzt damit ein klares Signal an den Markt.
6,6 Milliarden Dollar in ETH. Das ist kein Tippfehler, sondern eine strategische Machtdemonstration. Während traditionelle Finanzinstitute noch über Blockchain-Technologie diskutieren, handelt BitMine einfach.
Die Botschaft? Ethereum ist hier, um zu bleiben. Und BitMine positioniert sich als einer der größten Player im Spiel. Ein kühner Move in volatilen Zeiten – aber wer nicht wagt, der nicht gewinnt. Besonders nicht im DeFi-Casino, wo die Hausbank immer die Gewinner auszahlt.

“We continue to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years,” said Lee. “Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum.”
Currently, BitMine still holds its ETH as freely available liquid tokens, though in the future, the company intends to tap the assets for passive income. The ETH reserve envisions wider usage for the network, expanding its main features such as stablecoins and lending.
BitMine holds over 1.52M ETH
BitMine holds 1.52M ETH, up from a recent milestone of 1.2M ETH. At the end of July, Cryptopolitan reported the treasury broke the $2B milestone, and growth has continued at a fast pace ever since. Currently, the company is the most aggressive crypto buyer after Strategy (MSTR).
The BitMine treasury is also an exception, for being publicly visible. A total of 1.17M ETH are held in public-facing wallets, with new purchases coming from Galaxy Digital and other OTC desks. BitMine is deliberately public with its ETH purchases, combined with an extremely bullish message.
BitMine has also not given up on its treasury, retaining 154 BTC in its balance, as reported by aggregated BTC treasuries, though the company’s own sources report 192 BTC.
BitMine retains the biggest weight among ETH treasuries, which currently hold 3.7M tokens. Treasuries still lag behind ETFs with 6.5M ETH, as well as legacy protocols with significant value locked, accrued over the years.
BMNR is among the most widely traded US stocks
BitMine completed a fast rise from a relatively small BTC miner to one of the most actively traded US-based companies.
BMNR shares traded at $55.49, down from their $135 peak when the treasury was first announced. The shares held within the medium range, as BitMine announced a series of purchases within the span of six weeks.
As of August 18, BMNR is within the top 15 most traded US stocks, with a volume of $42.43M, standing just behind MARA. Riot Platforms and TeraWulf are also among the hottest trending stocks, showing the mining and treasury narrative is not forgotten.
BMNR is also growing its treasury more aggressively compared to its competitor, SharpLink Gaming (SBET). SBET recovered to $20.52, stalling as the company has not made new purchases since August 10.
