BitMine Immersion Technologies, chaired by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, has added another 208,137 Ether (ETH) to its growing crypto treasury, bringing its total holdings to 833,137 ETH. The latest accumulation, disclosed in a company statement on Monday, now places BitMine’s Ethereum assets above $3 billion in value, as ETH briefly climbed to $3,730 during the day before settling at $3,654, according to CoinGecko data . This rapid acquisition makes BitMine the fourth-largest crypto treasury globally , trailing only Strategy, MARA Holdings, and Twenty One Capital. Notably, the firm has implemented its Ethereum-focused treasury strategy just 35 days ago, and has already outpaced SharpLink Gaming to become the largest ETH-holding firm. The company’s aggressive strategy is backed by prominent investors including ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood , billionaire Bill Miller III, and famed macro investor Stanley Druckenmiller. The swift accumulation underscores growing institutional confidence in Ethereum as the digital asset seeks to catch up to Bitcoin and Solana in this cycle’s rally. BitMine Races Toward ETH Dominance BitMine’s momentum has also sparked a treasury arms race among Ethereum-focused firms. SharpLink now ranks second with 438,200 ETH , valued at roughly $1.61 billion. On the other hand, The Ether Machine holds 345,400 ETH after a fresh $40 million purchase on Monday. The Ethereum Foundation and PulseChain SAC round out the top five, holding 232,600 and 166,300 ETH, respectively, based on StrategicETHReserve data . Tom Lee commented on the pace of BitMine’s growth, saying, “We moved with lightning speed in our pursuit of the ‘alchemy of 5%’ of ETH, growing our holdings from zero to over 833,000 in just over a month.” He highlighted that BitMine has distinguished itself not only through rapid asset accumulation but also by maintaining high stock liquidity and raising crypto NAV (net asset value) per share efficiently. Market Outlook: August Rally on the Horizon In an interview with CNBC, Lee suggested that the current economic backdrop could favor another bullish leg in crypto. He pointed to labor data indicating a softening job market, which may prompt the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy. “I think we’re going to rally pretty strongly in August,” he said, predicting the S&P 500 could revisit all-time highs soon. Given crypto’s tight correlation with broader equities, a market rebound could push Ether higher, further boosting BitMine’s already sizable treasury position.
