The company said it also boosted its unencumbered cash holdings to $389 million, up from $305 million a week ago. The combined value of BitMine’s crypto, cash and equity stakes now totals $13.7 billion, according to the press release, including a $62 million position in Eightco Holdings and a 192 bitcoin in total.
The move brings BitMine’s share of the ETH supply to 2.8%, worth roughly $13.3 billion at current prices as part of a long-term strategy to acquire 5% of the token’s supply.
"We’re now more than halfway to our goal," said Lee in a statement.
The acquisition happened while many digital asset treasuries saw their share prices plummet over the past few months, struggling to raise cash and pursue their mandate to accumulate cryptocurrencies. Some entities, such as ETHZilla and Brazil’s OranjeBTC, pivoted to buy back shares as their stock price fell below the net asset value of their underlying holdings.
