BitMine expands ETH reserves past 3 million, eyes 5% goal

​According to a press release dated October 13, during the recent market downturn, BitMine Immersion Technologies added 202,037 ETH to its crypto reserves, bringing its total holdings to over 3.03 million tokens.

This means BitMine now controls an unprecedented 2.5% of all Ethereum in circulation. Such concentration makes the company a structural pillar of the Ethereum network, extending its influence far beyond its balance sheet and marking a major step toward its target of reaching 5% network control.

Company Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee stated that these strategic acquisitions were a direct response to what he described as a “substantial discount to the future,” enabling the company to reduce market debt and accelerate progress toward its 5% target.

“Volatility reduces debt pressure and can cause assets to trade at a significant discount to fundamentals — what we call a ‘discount to the future,’ creating opportunities for investors over traders,” Lee said.

Halfway to the goal

In addition to ETH, BitMine disclosed holdings of $104 million in cash, 192 BTC, and $135 million in “moon assets” — cryptocurrencies with high growth potential.
