Tom Lee's BitMine (BMNR) buys 51,162 ether (ETH) amid falling crypto prices

BitMine Immersion Technologies increased its Ethereum holdings to over 4.42 million ETH, representing 3.66% of supply, generating $171 million in annual staking revenue despite market losses.

  • On February 22, BitMine Immersion Technologies reported purchasing 51,162 ether last week, raising its Ethereum holdings to more than 4.42 million tokens.
  • Generating staking revenue explains the firm's recent buying, with Thomas Lee emphasizing the focus on methodically executing the treasury strategy, as he said, `'In the midst of this 'mini crypto winter,' our focus continues to be on methodically executing our treasury strategy and steadily acquiring ETH and in turn, optimizing the yield on our ETH holdings.'`
  • The firm spent $16.4 billion accumulating ETH, and with ETH sliding 3% to $1,918, the treasury now holds more than $8 billion in unrealized losses.
  • Share-Market response was immediate, with BMNR trading down in pre-market while holding 193 bitcoin, 691 million in cash, and equity stakes.
  • Holding 3.66% of supply positions BMNR as an outsized ETH holder, the firm said its Ethereum holdings now corner 3.66% of the token's total supply.
