Fundstrat co-founder and Wall Street analyst Tom Lee’s crypto reserve company Bitmine Immersion (NASDAQ: BMNR) continues to expand its Ethereum holdings, accumulating 32,977 ETH in the past week, bringing the company’s total assets to $14.2 billion.
As of January 4, Bitmine has accumulated 4,143,502 ETH, worth $13 billion, currently controlling 3.43% of the total global ETH supply. This is more than two-thirds of the way toward Tom Lee’s “5% Alchemy” target—holding approximately 6.04 million ETH.
Bitmine is not just hoarding coins but actively participating in network governance. Currently, 659,000 ETH are staked, with 250,000 ETH added just last week.
In a statement issued Monday, Tom Lee expressed an optimistic outlook for 2026:
Given the US government’s support for the crypto industry, Wall Street’s embrace of stablecoins and asset tokenization, the growing demand for certification and traceability in the AI era, and the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies among the younger generation, we are very optimistic about Ethereum’s prospects in 2026.
He also observed that the surge in commodities and precious metals in 2025 often precedes significant gains in cryptocurrencies.
