Tom Lee insists 'crypto bull market is underway' as Bitmine adds 10,452 ETH The company holds 4.95% of Ethereum's supply, with $15 billion in combined crypto, cash, marketable securities, and other investments. Bitmine Immersion Technologies increased its Ethereum treasury to 6,051,933 ETH after acquiring 10,452 ETH over the past week, the company said in a statement on Monday. At $2,356 per ETH, the holdings were worth approximately $14.3 billion as of Oct. 25. Bitmine now owns 4.95% of Ethereum's circulating supply of 122.2 million ETH, according to the statement. Of the total, 5,227,037 ETH are staked through Bitmine's MAVAN platform and staking partners, representing about 86% of its holdings. The company said it projects annualized staking revenue of $318 million at current levels, and up to $368 million if its ETH holdings were fully staked. Beyond ether, Bitmine reported holding 215 BTC, a $180 million stake in Beast Industries, a $76 million investment in Eightco Holdings, and $514 million in cash and marketable securities. Its combined crypto, cash, marketable securities, and other investments totaled $15 billion. In addition to the ETH acquisition, Bitmine repurchased 2.04 million shares over the past week at an average price of $22.48. The company's buybacks this year have reached 22.9 million shares, costing $399.6 million at an average price of $17.48, per the statement. Chairman Tom Lee reiterated his view that the "crypto bull market is underway," pointing to ETH's 13% pullback from its recent peak as evidence that the market is outperforming other risk-off sectors. The U.S. semiconductor sector was down 20% over the same period, according to Lee. According to The Block's ETH price page, ether traded at around $2,322 on Monday, down 0.4% over 24 hours. Bitmine shares closed Friday at $22.40, down 0.4%, according to The Block's BMNR price page.

BlackRock files for bitcoin ETF offering downside protection and upside exposure to IBIT BlackRock, the world's largest investment manager, has filed for another bitcoin fund, this time one that would give investors both downside protection and upside exposure to its flagship bitcoin exchange-traded fund. On Monday, the firm filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protect ETF. That fund will follow BlackRock's multi-billion-dollar iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, the firm said. "The Fund seeks to provide upside exposure to the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and/or similar bitcoin exposure up to an approximate limit, while seeking to provide a level of downside protection," BlackRock said in the filing. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust holds more than $65 billion in assets under management, making it the largest of its kind, according to The Block's bitcoin ETF tracker. BlackRock launched IBIT in January 2024. In June, the firm launched its iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, which is designed to provide investors with exposure to bitcoin while generating monthly option premium income. In a post on X, Bloomberg Intelligence's James Seyffart noted that BlackRock still just has bitcoin and Ethereum products. Over the past couple of years, other companies have launched ETFs tracking assets from XRP to SOL to DOGE. "Notably, this is the third Bitcoin ETF filing from them," Seyffart said on Monday. "Still only have Bitcoin and Ethereum products -- no other cryptos."
