BitMine Goes on ‘$827M Aggressive’ ETH Buying Spree After Crypto Market Crash

BitMine Goes on ‘$827M Aggressive’ ETH Buying Spree After Crypto Market Crash

BitMine Immersion Technologies has launched one of the largest Ethereum accumulation moves in corporate history, purchasing over $827 million worth of ETH during the recent crypto market crash. The company, which already holds the world’s largest Ethereum treasury, stated that the acquisition added 202,037 ETH to its reserves, bringing its total to 3,032,188 ETH, approximately 2.5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. The aggressive buying spree came amid a weekend market sell-off that saw more than $19 billion in leveraged positions liquidated. Over 1.6 million traders were wiped out in 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data, as Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded $5.38 billion and $4.43 billion in long liquidations, respectively. The broader market’s total capitalization dropped by over 9% to $3.8 trillion, with Bitcoin briefly plunging below $102,000. Tom Lee Says Ethereum Entering ‘Supercycle’ as BitMine Nears 5% of ETH Supply BitMine’s latest purchase lifted its total crypto and cash holdings to $13.4 billion as of October 12, including $12.9 billion in crypto assets and “moonshot” investments. The company’s portfolio now includes 3,032,188 ETH, valued at $4,154 per token, 192 BTC, worth approximately $22 million, a $135 million equity stake in Nasdaq-listed Eightco Holdings, and $104 million in unencumbered cash. BitMine’s chairman, Tom Lee of Fundstrat, said the company took advantage of the temporary market dislocation caused by the liquidation cascade. “Volatility creates deleveraging, and this can cause assets to trade at substantial discounts to fundamentals,” Lee said. “We acquired over 200,000 ETH during the downturn, moving more than halfway toward our goal of owning 5% of the total ETH supply.” Lee also reiterated his view that Ethereum is entering what he calls a “Supercycle,” driven by artificial intelligence and the financial sector’s increasing integration with blockchain. BitMine published Lee’s keynote from the Token2049 conference in Singapore as part of its October Chairman’s Message, in which he outlined the company’s long-term thesis for Ethereum accumulation. BitMine’s rapid expansion has positioned it as the largest Ethereum holder globally and the second-largest public crypto treasury overall, behind Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which controls 640,250 BTC valued at roughly $73 billion. BitMine now ranks ahead of other central Ethereum treasuries, including SharpLink and The Ether Machine, which hold 838,730 ETH and 496,710 ETH, respectively, according to SER data.Source: SER Despite the market chaos, BitMine remains one of the most heavily traded U.S.-listed stocks. Fundstrat data shows the company’s ticker, BMNR, has recorded an average five-day trading volume of $3.5 billion as of October 10, ranking 22nd among all U.S. equities, just behind Coinbase and ahead of UnitedHealth. Combined, BitMine and Strategy account for 88% of global digital asset treasury (DAT) trading volume. However, BitMine’s share price has not been immune to volatility, falling 11% over the past week following a short position taken by Kerrisdale Capital, which questioned the sustainability of the company’s business model.Source: Google Finance Ethereum Eyes $10K as Fusaka Upgrade Nears Testnet Phase Ethereum is positioning for another major leap as developers prepare for the Fusaka upgrade, expected to follow the successful Pectra rollout earlier this year. The update, now entering testnet trials, is designed to reduce transaction fees further and lower the cost of becoming a validator, key steps toward improving scalability and accessibility across the network. If Fusaka launches on schedule by late 2025, analysts believe it could strengthen Ethereum’s path toward $10,000, particularly as institutional interest in blockchain tokenization and real-world assets continues to expand. Both Pectra and Fusaka form part of Ethereum’s long-term roadmap to enhance efficiency across the base layer and layer-two networks, such as Arbitrum. Ethereum’s recovery from its previous low of $1,400 gained momentum after Pectra, with ETH/USD trading recently around $3,813. However, volatility has remained high, as shown by a flash crash that wiped out over $3.8 billion in leveraged positions before prices rebounded above $4,100. Technical indicators indicate that ETH is holding above support near $3,720, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting a potential near-term reversal if resistance around $4,050–$4,300 is broken. Meanwhile, renewed commentary from Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has drawn fresh attention to Ethereum’s dual role as a store of value and functional asset. Kiyosaki warned of a looming financial reset and described Ethereum and silver as “hot, hot, hot,” arguing that both combine industrial utility with scarcity

Digital asset treasuries reshape corporate balance sheets

Digital asset treasuries reshape corporate balance sheets

The post Digital asset treasuries reshape corporate balance sheets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Digital asset treasuries are reshaping how firms hold value. Panels at Token2049 and industry sessions highlighted why on‑chain reserves are now treated as strategic balance‑sheet tools. Why does this shift toward digital asset treasuries matter? Firms increasingly view crypto reserves as both a liquidity buffer and a strategic position. Treasuries can deliver yield, speed settlements and capture native network effects. Meanwhile, auditors and regulators are scrutinizing practices, which pushes custody, reporting and governance to the board agenda. How does arthur hayes bitcoin prediction affect bitcoin treasury investment strategies? Public commentary from Arthur Hayes has reignited debate on long‑term Bitcoin allocations. For treasury managers, the takeaway is simple: size exposure prudently and pick custody that supports rebalancing. Moreover, scenario planning and clear policy limits turn market views into firm governance. See broader coverage on this debate via Reuters. Do ethereum layer 2 benefits change institutional custody and DATs? Yes. The ethereum layer 2 benefits—lower fees and faster finality—cut operational costs for treasury tasks. Consequently, firms can settle tokenized flows quicker and reduce on‑chain friction. Industry sessions at LONGITUDE explored how L2 rails combine with privacy tooling to support operational treasuries; see LONGITUDE highlights. Which industry voices are shaping the narrative? Speakers like Joseph Lubin, Neal Stephenson and Stani Kulechov argued that digital asset treasuries are cultural and economic experiments, not just accounting lines. Accordingly, their perspectives influence both product design and governance models across firms and protocols. What role do DeFi and traditional rails play — is a stablecoin wire transfer alternative realistic? DeFi supplies composable building blocks while traditional rails provide regulatory and fiat connectivity. A stablecoin wire transfer alternative is increasingly practical: stablecoins move value faster than wires, though fiat on‑ramps and compliance remain essential for broad adoption. Therefore, hybrid models that combine regulated fiat corridors with token rails…

Is Crypto Ready For Q-Day? The Quantum Countdown Has Begun

Is Crypto Ready For Q-Day? The Quantum Countdown Has Begun

The post Is Crypto Ready For Q-Day? The Quantum Countdown Has Begun appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto and Quantum are an increasingly important topic. getty Quantum computing could shatter today’s encryption and the race to protect crypto’s future is already underway. I still remember the first time I sent a Bitcoin transaction. A small amount, but it felt revolutionary. No bank, no paperwork, just mathematics moving value securely through code. That same cryptography that inspired my faith in digital trust now faces its greatest test. Recent market turbulence and the sharp decline of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have shaken investor confidence, highlighting that crypto is not only vulnerable to market forces but could face even greater threats from emerging technologies like quantum computing, a machine that thinks in probabilities instead of absolutes. A New Kind of Power From Quantum The Will Impact Crypto Quantum computers do not process information the way classical ones do. Traditional computers use bits that are either zero or one. Quantum computers use qubits that can be both at the same time. This property, known as superposition, gives quantum systems extraordinary power to solve problems that even the fastest supercomputers cannot. That same power could one day crack the algorithms that protect our emails, banking systems, and cryptocurrencies. Quantum computers running a mathematical method known as Shor’s algorithm could theoretically break RSA and elliptic curve cryptography, which together secure most of the world’s data. If that happens, private keys could be reconstructed from public keys, destroying the foundations of digital trust. “Quantum risk isn’t tomorrow’s problem—it’s today’s blind spot,” emphasizes Jai Singh Arun, co-author of Becoming Quantum Safe. “CISOs and CIOs who delay quantum-safe readiness are unknowingly extending their organizations’ exposure window, while those who start now are securing their long-term trust advantage.” Jai Singh Arun co-authored a book on Becoming Quantum Safe Jai Singh Arun The Countdown to Q-Day For Crypto…

Crypto investors lose over $16m as violent wrench attacks surge by 54%

Crypto investors lose over $16m as violent wrench attacks surge by 54%

A version of this article appeared in our The Roundup newsletter on October 3. Sign up here.Hi! Eric here. Physical attacks on crypto investors and their families have risen by a whooping 54% this year compared to last year. Those attacks saw criminals steal over $16 million according to data from a crime tracker set up by Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and analysed by DL News. This makes “2025 the highest year on record,” Ari Redbord, global head of policy at blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs, told DL News. TRM Labs tracked a similar amount of physical attacks.Reports about these so-called wrench attacks make for grim reading. They include details of kidnappings, home invasions, threats, and torture. In several gruesome cases, criminals amputated victims’ fingers to get paid.And it’s a global problem. Attacks are happening across the world, including in Brazil, France, Sweden, Norway, Canada, and Thailand.The rise of these assaults marks the duality of the booming $4.3 trillion crypto market. The visibility of that wealth is one of the factors that has driven the rise in violent crimes as it turn those bull run winners attractive targets for criminals, Redbord said.Worse to come?And the crime wave may loom even larger. Analysts anticipate that the rally will stretch well into next year.“Given that there is a correlation between the rise in violent crimes and rising Bitcoin prices, it could be assumed that violent crimes would likely persist in a bull market,” a Chainalysis spokesperson told DL News. To be sure, there are also signs that may alleviate some of the risk. For instance, the introduction of crypto exchange-traded funds “means that people can participate in crypto without holding the underlying asset themselves,” the Chainalysis spokesperson said.“Additionally, law enforcement has been quite effective at tracing stolen funds, arresting perpetrators and providing restitution to victims, although not always successful,” the spokesperson said.Violent $650,000 Bitcoin theft in Israel linked to organised crime: reportAn Israeli man was charged on Wednesday with carrying out a violent crypto robbery in the Israeli city of Herzliya, Ekin Genç reports.Token2049: Crypto industry runs victory lap among influencers and sanction-busting firmsToken2049 highlighted the state of flux the crypto industry finds itself in, reports Liam Kelly.

The Base Layer Identity Crisis: Why L2 Growth Actually Proves Ethereum's Value

Base pays $6,400 daily to Ethereum validators. This buys access to $140+ billion in security—over $60,000 in value for every dollar paid. The problem isn't technical. It's that these value flows stay hidden. L2 success proves Ethereum's design works, but users can't see it.
