- The firm now controls roughly 4.75% of Ethereum’s circulating supply and may need $523.7 million in additional ETH purchases to reach its 5% target.
- ETH price action is constrained below the 50-day and 100-day EMAs at $1,807 and $1,970, with resistance concentrated near $1,806-$1,807.
BitMine Extends Aggressive ETH Accumulation
BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), a treasury manager focused on Ethereum (ETH), purchased 42,197 ETH last week, maintaining its ongoing pattern of accumulating the leading altcoin.
This latest addition brought BitMine’s total Ethereum position to 5.74 million ETH, valued at approximately $10.27 billion at the time of writing.
Beyond Ethereum, BitMine reported holdings that include 206 Bitcoin (BTC), a $180 million equity stake in Beast Industries, a $71 million position in Worldcoin treasury, exposure to Eightco Holdings (ORBS), and total cash and marketable securities of $527 million.
Regulatory Outlook and Treasury Strategy
BitMine Chairman Thomas Lee highlighted an improving backdrop for regulatory developments, pointing to the prospects for the Clarity Act.
“We believe regulatory clarity is an important milestone, enabling crypto, particularly smart contract platforms like ethereum to benefit, as crypto becomes part of our everyday life,” said Lee in a Monday statement.
Data from crypto analytics platform Arkham indicated that BitMine holds around 4.75% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. Based on prevailing prices at the time of writing, BitMine would need to purchase $523.7 million worth of ETH to achieve its stated objective of controlling 5% of the asset’s circulating supply. The company’s reported $527 million in cash and marketable securities is sufficient to cover that amount.
Market Pressure on Crypto Treasuries
Digital asset treasuries have been contending with pressure from a persistent risk-off tone across the crypto market. In contrast to BitMine’s continued ETH accumulation amid this environment, Strategy disclosed last week that it sold 3,588 BTC for $216 million to meet dividend obligations on its preferred stock series.
BitMine has also recently rolled out a preferred stock offering, prompting market discussion over whether a prolonged downturn in crypto prices could push the firm to sell part of its holdings, similar to Strategy. Thomas Lee previously stated that BitMine’s annualized staking income is sufficient to cover the yearly dividend requirements on its preferred stock.

Ethereum Technical Setup: Key Levels in Focus
From a technical standpoint, Ethereum is trading below its key medium-term averages on the daily chart. ETH is currently under both the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1,807 and the 100-day EMA at $1,970. This configuration keeps the broader bias constrained, even as the token has rebounded from its latest lows.
On the downside, ETH is finding support above the 20-day EMA at $1,714 and a nearby horizontal base at $1,741. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 58 indicates that momentum has been improving. However, this is counterbalanced by an overbought reading on the Stochastic oscillator near 90, signaling the potential for upside fatigue as price approaches the current resistance cluster.
Resistance and Support Zones for ETH
On the upside, the closest resistance band is located just above spot levels, spanning the $1,806 price area and the 50-day EMA at $1,807. Additional resistance levels are seen at $1,909, $2,018, and $2,107.
On the downside, first-line support emerges at the horizontal level of $1,741, followed by the 20-day EMA at $1,714. If selling pressure intensifies, lower horizontal zones at $1,524, $1,404, and $1,155 could come into play as potential areas where buyers may look to reenter, should the current bearish tilt extend.
