BitMine is Still Buying ETH: Total Accumulation This Week Reaches $229M

Tom Lee’s Ethereum-focused treasury company, BitMine, has bought at least $229.31 million worth of ETH this week alone, Arkham reported. On-chain data show that the firm just bought another 30,075 ETH ($88.73 million).

“Two fresh wallets just withdrew $88.73M of ETH from FalconX,” Arkham Monitoring reported. “This acquisition matches prior BitMine purchase patterns.”

BitMine Owns Over 3% of ETH Supply

BitMine has been aggressively accumulating Ether despite the market slump. The fresh purchase arrives days after the company disclosed a $140 million worth ETH buy from a hot wallet on FalconX.

Further, the NYSE American–listed company said Monday that it owns over 3.2% of the ETH token supply. According to CoinGecko ETH treasury data, the company has purchased 407,331 ETH in the last 30 days.

Early this month, BitMine bought nearly $70 million worth of ETH in three days, positioning itself as the biggest Ether-focused crypto treasury by a wide margin.

Days after, the company accumulated another $150 million of Ether to its balance sheet, adding 18,345 ETH via BitGo and 30,278 ETH through Kraken. The purchase marked one of the largest single inflows into a corporate Ethereum treasury this year.

BitMine management said previously that the firm aims to control around 5% of all ETH supply.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership.
