The firm added another 203,800 ETH over the last week, worth approximately $820 million.<\/p>\n<p>Last week\u2019s purchase has increased BitMine\u2019s total ETH holdings to 3.24 million ETH, representing roughly 2.7% of the active circulating supply. In addition, the company holds 192 Bitcoin (BTC) and $219 in cash. The firm has $1.34 billion in combined crypto and cash holdings.<\/p>\n<p>BitMine\u2019s frequent ETH purchases have propelled it as the leading public company in terms of ETH held on its balance sheet. Earlier this month, the firm had reported that its total ETH holdings had <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitmine-ethereum-market-holdings-3-million-eth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">surpassed<\/a> 3 million tokens. Commenting, Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The crypto market saw one of its largest deleveraging events ever last week and this put downward pressure on ETH prices. Open interest for ETH sits at the same levels as seen on June 30th of this year. Given the expected Supercycle for ethereum, this price dislocation represents an attractive risk\/reward.\u00a0 We acquired 203,826 ETH tokens over the past week pushing our ETH holdings to 3.24 million, or 2.7% of the supply of ETH. We are now more than halfway towards our initial pursuit of the \u2018alchemy of 5%\u2019 of ETH.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lee added that he sees Ethereum as a \u201ctruly neutral\u201d blockchain which is likely to witness growing institutional adoption. He added that BitMine remains committed to accumulating 5% of Ethereum\u2019s total circulating supply.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-610391 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?resize=2180%2C1014\" alt=\"coingecko\" width=\"2180\" height=\"1014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=2180 2180w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-9.35.04-PM.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p>Following today\u2019s announcement, the NYSE-listed firm\u2019s stock BMNR surged an impressive 7.76%, trading at $53.72 at the time of writing.
