Ethereum, BMNR news: Bitmine buys 26K ether (ETH) after Tom Lee said to slow down accumulation

The company said it now holds 5.2 million ether and has staked more than 4.7 million ETH as it nears its long-term target.

  • Bitmine Immersion Technologies Chairman Tom Lee announced Monday the company is slowing its weekly ether accumulation pace from over 100,000 ETH per week, moving away from its previous target of reaching 5% supply by mid-July.
  • The company's holdings reached over 5.2 million ETH, representing around 4.31% of the circulating supply according to Monday's update, following months of aggressive accumulation since the start of 2026.
  • Staking operations now involve 4.7 million ETH—over 90% of total holdings—with Bitmine's Made-in America VAlidator Network generating $319 million in annualized revenue at a 2.86% yield.
  • Lee reiterated his view that "crypto spring" has begun, citing ether's recent recovery and improving sentiment in software stocks; ETH closing above $2,100 at month-end would validate this trend.
  • Guided by its "alchemy of 5%" philosophy, Bitmine continues deploying excess capital to position itself as the world's leading Ethereum treasury, maintaining ETH as its primary treasury reserve asset.
