Ether Surges 4% as ETH Treasury Firm BitMine Steps Up Bid to Acquire 5% of Supply

Ethereum's price rockets upward as institutional players throw their weight around—again.

### The Whale Move That Shook Crypto

BitMine, a shadowy ETH treasury firm with pockets deeper than a Bitcoin maxi's conspiracy theories, just placed a market-shaking bid for 5% of all circulating Ether. Cue the price surge—up 4% in a blink.

### Supply Shock or Just Shock Value?

With ETH’s fixed issuance, snatching 5% of supply isn’t just aggressive—it’s borderline gluttonous. Traders are now betting whether this triggers a sustained rally or becomes another 'buy the rumor, sell the news' circus.

### The Institutional Playbook

Wall Street tactics meet crypto volatility: accumulate quietly, announce loudly, let retail FOMO do the rest. Bonus points if the SEC starts squinting at the filings.

Ethereum’s proving it’s more than gas fees and monkey JPEGs—but whether this move stabilizes or destabilizes the market remains to be seen. After all, in crypto, every 'strategic acquisition' looks suspiciously like a pump waiting for an exit.
