The firm now holds more than $6.6 billion worth of Ethereum (ETH), totaling 1.52 million tokens \u2014 a staggering 1.26% of the total ETH supply.<\/p>\n<p>This milestone underscores BitMine\u2019s aggressive accumulation strategy, which has set it apart from other institutions and corporate treasuries in the crypto space. What makes this move even more significant is BitMine\u2019s long-term vision: the company has set a target of holding 5% of Ethereum\u2019s total supply, meaning they are already 25% of the way toward their ambitious goal.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement sends a strong signal to markets and institutional investors. Ethereum\u2019s growing role as both a financial and technological backbone of Web3 is attracting corporations to treat ETH not just as an asset, but as a strategic reserve.

This rapid increase highlights the company\u2019s aggressive accumulation strategy and its conviction in Ethereum\u2019s long-term value.

This milestone underscores the shifting landscape of institutional crypto adoption, where Ethereum is increasingly being recognized as more than just the leading smart contract platform \u2014 it is becoming a core reserve asset.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, BitMine now holds more ETH than Sharplink Gaming, The Ether Machine, and The Ethereum Foundation combined. This marks a turning point in the treasury race, where corporations are no longer competing on Bitcoin alone but are diversifying into Ethereum at unprecedented levels.<\/p>\n<p>This growing trend is likely to continue as ETH gains momentum, supported by strong institutional demand, ETF inflows, and broader adoption across decentralized finance and real-world asset tokenization. Analysts believe that if BitMine maintains its current pace, its treasury strategy could reshape how companies manage long-term reserves in the digital economy.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH Facing Critical Test<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum is currently trading near $4,310 after a sharp retrace from its recent peak above $4,790.

Meanwhile, the 100-day and 200-day moving averages at $3,048 and $2,575, respectively, also confirm strong long-term support. This alignment suggests that despite the pullback, Ethereum\u2019s broader trend is still positioned for growth.<\/p>\n<p>If ETH manages to hold this level, a rebound back toward resistance at $4,600\u2013$4,800 is likely in the short term. However, a breakdown below support could open the door for a deeper retrace toward $3,800. The coming sessions will be key to determining direction.<\/p>\n<p>Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BitMine, a publicly traded company renowned for its bold treasury strategy, has officially become the second-largest crypto treasury company in the world.
