BitMine announced today that its total assets, including cryptocurrencies, cash, and potential project investments, have reached $10.7 billion. According to BlockBeats, the company increased its holdings by 41,788 ETH over the past week. As of February 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, BitMine's crypto assets include 4,285,125 ETH and 193 BTC, alongside a $200 million equity investment in Beast Industries and a $20 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS), categorized as a 'potential project,' as well as $586 million in cash.
Thomas 'Tom' Lee, Executive Chairman of BitMine, noted that the price of ETH has significantly dropped from approximately $3,000 to around $2,300 over the past month. Despite this, Ethereum's daily transaction volume has reached a record high of 2.5 million, and daily active addresses have surged to a peak of 1 million in 2026. Lee highlighted that while Ethereum's on-chain activity and fundamentals have strengthened considerably in recent months, the price of ETH has declined. This contrasts with the crypto winters of 2021-2022 and 2018-2019, where Ethereum transaction activity and active wallet numbers decreased. Lee suggests that the current weakness in ETH price is more attributable to non-fundamental factors, primarily the lingering effects of the 'October 10' event, which has delayed the return of leveraged funds to the cryptocurrency market.
"In the past week, we acquired 41,788 ETH," Lee continued. "BitMine has been steadily increasing its Ethereum holdings, and given the strengthening fundamentals, we find this pullback quite attractive. In our view, the current ETH price does not reflect its high utility and its value as a core component of the future financial system."
