Bitmine Dips into Ethereum: Snags 126,971 ETH in a Week, Setting 2026's Largest Weekly Holding Record
Bitcoin mining outfit Bitmine went on a buying spree last week during the ETH crash, shelling out around $214 million to acquire 126,971 ETH, marking the company’s biggest weekly ETH purchase in 2026. Despite Chairman Tom Lee's earlier call to slow down on the buying, Bitmine ramped up its acquisition, stating that 'the pullback in ETH prices doesn’t reflect the strengthening of its fundamentals.' Currently, Bitmine's total crypto assets, cash, and investments stand at $9.9 billion.
Why it Matters: The mining company's aggressive accumulation of ETH amidst the downturn showcases institutional confidence in Ethereum's long-term value, a move often viewed as a 'Smart Money' signal that suggests a market bottom.
