Bitmine Tops 5.8 Million ETH Even After Scaling Back Its Latest Buy

The Tom Lee-chaired former bitcoin miner turned ETH accumulator has officially pushed its Ethereum holdings beyond 5.8 million tokens, even if its accumulation pace has slowed down.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies acquired another 7,391 ETH over the past week, bringing the total to 5,805,238 tokens. At the reported price of $1,928 at the time of the PR publication, the stash was worth approximately $11.2 billion.

Another Purchase but Smaller Earlier in the summer, Bitmine’s acquisition pace was significantly more impressive, with a few examples showing a purchase of over 42,000 in early July and more than 27,000 in another.

However, the reduction started to become more visible over the past few weeks, as the one from late July was for fewer than 10,000 ETH and the one from last week was for 10,399 tokens.
