Bitmine Buys $30 Million in ETH, Nearing 5% Supply Target

Bitmine has added $30 million worth of Ethereum to its holdings, according to Decrypt. The purchase raises its total stash to 6.04 million ETH.

The company now holds about 4.9% of Ethereum’s supply. That puts it roughly 99% of the way toward its stated “Alchemy of 5%” accumulation goal.

Chairman Tom Lee described the broader market selloff as an attractive buying opportunity, framing the downturn as a reason to add to Bitmine’s position.
