Bitmine Drastically Slows Ethereum Purchases, Nears 5% Supply Goal
Summary
Bitmine Immersion Technologies significantly reduced its Ethereum purchases last week, acquiring 26,497 ETH worth $53 million, a 75% drop from the prior week. This strategic slowdown occurs as the company approaches its goal of owning 5% of ETH's circulating supply, now holding 4.49%. The firm is increasingly focusing on generating $258 million in annualized revenue from staking its Ethereum holdings, with projections to reach $300 million by year-end. This shift from aggressive accumulation to income generation is a material change in strategy for the crypto treasury firm.
