Bitmine’s $70M Ethereum Purchase via FalconX Exchange Signals Bullish Macro Bet
Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stock surged 10% to $31.70 after the company acquired 23,773 ETH worth $70 million. The firm now holds 3.7 million ETH, representing over 3% of the circulating supply, solidifying its position as the largest corporate ethereum holder. Chairman Lee linked the accumulation to Ethereum's upcoming Fusaka upgrade, indicating long-term conviction despite market volatility.
The buying spree included 7,000 ETH ($19.8M) purchased through the FalconX exchange and 16,693 ETH ($50.1M) acquired over the weekend. Bitmine's treasury strategy reflects strong institutional confidence in ETH's fundamentals, with the company 63% toward an undisclosed accumulation target. Market analysts interpret these moves as a bullish wager on both cryptocurrency adoption and anticipated macroeconomic policy shifts.
