“Bitmine Ethereum Treasury Tops 6 Million ETH After Another Weekly Purchase” — what this page in the network covers. Bitmine Immersion Technologies has pushed its Ethereum treasury past the six-million-token mark, reporting holdings of 6,041,481 ETH as of October 18. The company said it acquired another 12,535 ETH during the preceding week. The size is striking even by corporate crypto-treasury standards. Bitmine describes its position as roughly 4.9% of Ethereum’s circulating supply and says more than five million of its ETH are staked.
Unlike a Bitcoin treasury that generally depends on price movements, a large Ethereum holding can also earn network rewards by participating in validation. Rewards are not risk-free, however, and the economics depend on staking performance, technical operations and protocol conditions. Bitmine valued its wider portfolio of crypto assets, cash, marketable securities and other investments at about $15.1 billion.
