Wall Street Meets YouTube: Tom Lee-Led Bitmine Backs MrBeast

  • $5 billion valuation 
  • Lingering controversies 

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR), led by Chairman and Fundstrat founder Tom Lee, announced a staggering $200 million equity investment into Beast Industries, the empire of YouTube titan Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson.

MrBeast commands over 450 million subscribers and generates 5 billion views monthly.

Probably, the most exciting part of the deal is the planned integration of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) into MrBeast’s upcoming financial services platform.

Beast Industries has already filed trademarks for “MrBeast Financial,” which reportedly includes plans for banking, consumer lending, and crypto-related offerings.

Bitmine, which holds a massive treasury of over 4.17 million ETH (roughly 3.45% of the global supply), will act as the back-end infrastructure provider and partner for these fintech initiatives.

$5 billion valuation 

Beast Industries is currently valued at approximately $5 billion.

The $200 million from Bitmine represents a significant minority stake.

Jimmy Donaldson’s paper wealth has surged to an estimated $2.6 billion in 2026. Despite this, he famously claimed in a recent Wall Street Journal interview to have “negative money” because he reinvests every cent into his massive production costs and business scaling.

Lingering controversies 

The deal comes amid ongoing scrutiny of MrBeast’s relationship with the crypto world.

In late 2024, on-chain investigators linked over 50 wallets to MrBeast and his network. He allegedly profited over $23 million from “pump and dump” low-cap tokens.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
