Why Bitmine is Escalating Its Ethereum Purchases Amid Market Crash?
Amidst Ethereum's intense volatility, Bitmine Immersion Technologies has strategically acquired over $417 million in ETH. This massive purchase comes as institutional players increase their stakes in the second-largest cryptocurrency, signaling a potential major turning point for the Ethereum ecosystem.

Is Bitmine Positioning Itself as the MicroStrategy of Ethereum?
The comparison with Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy naturally comes to mind. Renowned crypto analyst ZYN has indeed described Bitmine as the “MicroStrategy of Ethereum,” highlighting the exceptional conviction represented by such accumulation during a market downturn.
This analogy is not insignificant. MicroStrategy transformed Bitcoin into a corporate reserve asset, triggering a wave of institutional adoption. If Bitmine succeeds in replicating this model with Ethereum, the implications for the market could be considerable. The company demonstrates a clear vision: betting on Ethereum’s future technological supremacy and its central role in the global blockchain infrastructure.
However, ZYN tempers the enthusiasm by noting that a single institutional buyer will not be sufficient to absorb the current selling pressure. The market needs more players of this caliber to establish a solid price support and reverse the downward trend.
TOM LEE BOUGHT $415M WORTH OF ETH
Two addresses withdrew $185M ETH last night from Kraken. These movements are in addition to the $231.5M withdrawn from Bitgo that we reported yesterday – bringing the total to $415M.
The figures speak for themselves: according to data shared by everstake.eth, the cumulative Ethereum supply held by corporate treasuries and Spot ETFs has crossed the threshold of 12.8 million ETH, representing a staggering valuation of $48.6 billion. This mass now accounts for more than 10% of Ethereum’s total circulating supply.
This institutional concentration fundamentally transforms the ETH market structure. Unlike retail holders who react emotionally to price fluctuations, institutions adopt a calculated approach based on multi-year investment horizons. Their growing presence progressively stabilizes the market, reducing volatility in the long term.
The timing of these acquisitions deserves attention. Buying massively during a correction phase indicates strong conviction in Ethereum’s value proposition: smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, and the complete transition to Proof of Stake, which drastically improves the network’s energy efficiency.
