This announcement marks a critical milestone in BitMine’s strategy. BitMine intends to use the net proceeds to purchase ETH to enable the Company to adopt ETH as its primary treasury reserve asset, while continuing its core business operations. ETH is the native layer of the Ethereum blockchain. A differentiating feature of Ethereum is the enabling of smart contracts and the majority of stablecoin payments, tokenized assets, and decentralized financial applications are transacted on Ethereum. By having a direct ETH treasury position, the Company will have access to native protocol-level activities, such as staking and decentralized finance mechanisms, on the Ethereum network. Stablecoins have been rapidly adopted by consumers, merchants, and financial services providers, a trend underscored by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent comment that the stablecoin market could reasonably grow to $2 trillion. As the primary blockchain for stablecoin transactions, BitMine believes Ethereum is well-positioned to potentially benefit from this growth.

“One key performance metric for BitMine going forward will be increasing ETH held per share and also driving reflexive benefits by accumulating a larger share of the supply of ETH,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, newly appointed Chairman of BitMine’s Board of Directors. “We believe this can be achieved through a combination of reinvestment of the Company’s cash flows, capital markets activities, and by the change in value of ETH. This marks the foundational step in the Company’s Ethereum treasury strategy, and we’re excited to help strengthen the broader Ethereum ecosystem. There’s a powerful, self-reinforcing cycle at play: by securing and staking a growing share of ETH, we contribute to Ethereum’s economic security, which can bring institutional capital and real-world assets on-chain. That can, in turn, drive greater activity, increase demand for ETH, which ultimately, we expect to enhance the value of our staked position.”

“We look forward to building a world–class ETH treasury and executing a strategy intended to materially enhance the returns for shareholders,” said Jonathan Bates, CEO of BitMine. “As our new chairman, Tom’s renowned insight and market expertise as founder of Fundstrat will be invaluable as we scale our ETH treasury and transform BitMine into a category-defining digital asset platform.”
