Bitmine recently purchased 101,745 ETH worth about $238 million, increasing its total Ethereum holdings to over 5.18 million ETH, or roughly 4.29% of the total supply. The company has pledged more than 4.36 million ETH to staking, generating approximately $297 million in annual revenue through its MAVAN platform. Chairman Thomas Lee highlighted improving regulatory prospects with the CLARITY Act and sees a new "crypto spring" beginning despite weak investor sentiment. Bitmine plans to maintain its staking strategy, betting on Ethereum's growth driven by tokenization and AI trends.
