Bitmine’s ‘Alchemy of 5%’ Strategy
This purchase is the latest move in an aggressive accumulation strategy that Coinspeaker has followed closely. The company’s treasury surpassed 2.4 million ETH just last week, while its holdings first topped $9 billion earlier in September. This consistent buying highlights the firm’s rapid growth and singular focus on becoming dominant in the Ethereum ecosystem.
BitMine’s Chairman, Thomas “Tom” Lee, framed the strategy as one of the “biggest macro trades” for the next decade. In the statement, he called Ethereum the “premier choice” for a neutral public blockchain, citing its reliability as essential for integrating AI and Wall Street. Lee reiterated the company’s ambitious goal to pursue the “alchemy of 5%” of all ETH, stating that the power law benefits large-scale holders.
BitMine’s strategy is part of a larger trend among public companies to adopt Ethereum as a primary reserve asset. For instance, esports and tech firm SharpLink Gaming also holds a significant treasury of 838,000 ETH. The growing number of corporate treasuries highlights a broader institutional belief in Ethereum’s long-term value.
The company’s crypto strategy also drives significant attention in traditional financial markets. BitMine’s stock (BMNR) has become the 26th most traded in the US, with an average daily trading volume of $2.6 billion. This high liquidity places it ahead of established giants like Visa, signaling its growing relevance to investors beyond the dedicated crypto space.
