Worlds largest corporate ETH treasury just grew by 700% in 16 days!

Ethereums [ETH] corporate investor landscape has just had a major development.

BitMine Immersion Technologies [BNMR] has quietly amassed $2.1 billion worth of ETH. In fact, it is now the largest known Ethereum treasury held by a public company.

However, the firm isnt stopping just there.

With plans to raise another $2.5 billion to stake even more, BitMine is gunning for control of 5% of ETH‘s total supply. As whale wallets begin making their moves, is this the beginning of Ethereum’s next institutional era？

ETH treasury increased by 700% in just 16 days!

BitMine Immersion Technologies recently announced that its Ethereum holdings surged past $2 billion – Up more than 700% from its initial $250 million private placement completed just over two weeks ago.

The company now holds 566,776 ETH, acquired at an average price of $3,643.752 per token. Thomas Lee of Fundstrat, who serves as Chairman of BitMine‘s Board of Directors, has laid out the aspirations too. The firm’s long-term goal is to accumulate and stake 5% of Ethereums total supply.

CEO Jonathan Bates echoed this commitment, pointing to Ethereum as a central pillar of the firms treasury strategy. He added,

“We are committed to Ethereums continued growth and look forward to advancing our Ethereum treasury strategy.”

Fresh wallets mirror the accumulation

According to LookonChain, eight freshly funded wallets have collectively accumulated 540,460 ETH, worth approximately $1.99 billion since 09 July.

In the last 10 hours alone, three of those wallets added another 74,207 ETH ($273 million), continuing the rapid accumulation trend.

These wallets have no prior transaction history, suggesting coordinated institutional or high-net-worth entrants.

The timing seemed to align closely with BitMines ETH strategy. Perhaps, similar players are moving behind the scenes. Together, they may be laying the groundwork for a new era of concentrated ETH ownership.

Cooling momentum？ ETH stumbles despite whale demand

At press time, ETH was trading at $3,626, down 2.21% on the day despite strong whale accumulation trends.

The RSI hovered at 72.15, indicating overbought conditions that may have preceded the recent pullback. The MACD still was in bullish territory, but the narrowing gap between the MACD and Signal lines hinted at weakening momentum across the board.

Trading volumes also fell over the past few sessions – A sign of buyer fatigue after ETHs steep rally earlier this month.

If this cooldown continues, ETH may enter a consolidation phase… Unless new catalysts or sustained institutional buying inject fresh momentum into the market.
