Bitmine Shares Soar as Billionaire Thiel Reveals 9.1% Stake

UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund became BitMine's largest shareholder after acquiring 9.1% amid a $500 million Ethereum treasury build following a $250 million private placement.

  • Peter Thiel disclosed a 9.1% stake in BitMine Immersion Technologies on July 15, 2025, boosting shares notably in Las Vegas.
  • The stake disclosure followed BitMine's closing of a $250 million private placement on July 9 to support its Ethereum treasury strategy.
  • BitMine holds 163,142 Ether valued around $500 million as of July 14, with Tom Lee appointed as the company's chairman.
  • Thomas Lee noted that companies holding substantial Bitcoin reserves, such as MicroStrategy, tend to gain an inherent advantage from their significant accumulations, likening BitMine’s strategy to this approach.
  • This development signals growing institutional confidence in ether assets and may strengthen BitMine's position in the evolving cryptocurrency market.
