Крупнейший корпоративный кит Ethereum снова действует: BitMine тратит 105 миллионов долларов на покупку ETH по низкой цене, имея в распоряжении 915 миллионов долларов наличными в ожидании.

As one of the largest known corporate holders of Ethereum, BitMine Immersion Technologies increased its Ethereum position again at the beginning of 2026, drawing significant market attention. Although some analysts expect Ethereum prices may remain under pressure in the short term, BitMine’s latest move demonstrates that it maintains strong confidence in the medium and long-term value of ETH.

According to blockchain data platform Arkham, BitMine made its first public transaction of the new year by investing approximately $105 million to purchase Ethereum. This is also an important signal of the company’s resumption of ETH accumulation plans in 2026. Data shows that BitMine currently holds approximately 4.07 million Ethereum tokens, with a market value of approximately $12.6 billion at current prices, representing 3.36% of Ethereum’s total supply and holding an absolutely leading position in corporate-level ETH holdings.

Beyond its massive ETH reserves, BitMine’s financial strength is equally noteworthy. The company’s latest disclosure shows it still holds approximately $915 million in cash, which the market interprets as important “ammunition” for future Ethereum accumulation. According to StrategicEthReserve statistics, BitMine’s long-term goal is to increase its Ethereum holdings to 5% of the network’s total supply.

On-chain data also shows that BitMine has significantly accelerated its Ethereum staking pace recently. Lookonchain’s tracking indicates that the company has currently staked ETH worth over $2.87 billion, with approximately 128,000 tokens newly staked in just the past few days. This means BitMine is not only betting on price appreciation but is also actively participating in Ethereum’s long-term yield structure.

Tom Lee, BitMine’s chairman and co-founder and managing partner of Fundstrat Global Advisors, stated that this $105 million investment is not a short-term trade. He noted in an internal report that although Ethereum prices may experience significant pullbacks in the first half of 2026 and even test levels around $1,800, this would constitute an “extremely attractive long-term allocation opportunity.”

From a broader market perspective, institutional and whale behavior is gradually converging. Nansen data shows that over the past week, whales accumulated approximately $11.2 million of Ethereum through 38 wallets, with newly created wallets accumulating purchases totaling as much as $1.16 billion. Multiple analysts believe that after experiencing the 2025 market “stress test,” institutional capital is accelerating its return to core public chain assets, with Ethereum remaining one of the most important allocation targets.
