BitMine’s stock, BMNR, is popular among institutional investors such as ARK Invest, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, and Galaxy Digital.

Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, is a big supporter of the firm’s plan of amassing 5% of Ether. He said, “Ethereum fundamentals continue to strengthen at an accelerating pace, with stablecoin supply on ETH rising >15% in the past 8 weeks and application revs reaching an all-time high.”

Lee explained that in crypto, price leads fundamentals, and sometimes fundamentals take over, “but price converges higher.” He said that the recent market crash, which wiped out over $19 billion from crypto markets, is a health reset. Lee added, “[the liquidation event] sets the stage for price and fundamentals to eventually converge.
