Since the firm's June pivot, BitMine is part of the digital asset treasury trend where publicly-traded firms raise funds to accumulate cryptocurrencies, following the playbook of Michael Saylor's Strategy, the world's largest corporate bitcoin owner.

BitMine aims to corner 5% of ether's supply and generate yield by staking the tokens. The firm currently ranks as the largest listed ETH treasury firm and only trails the bitcoin-focused Strategy's BTC holdings among all crypto treasury firms.

"We remain confident that the two supercycle investing narratives remain [artificial intelligence] AI and crypto," chairman Thomas Lee said in a statement. "Since ETH's price is a discount to the future, this bodes well for the token and is the reason BitMine's primary treasury asset is ETH."
