In brief
- BitMine added more than 51,000 ETH to its stash last week, bringing its total holdings to over 4.4 million ETH.
- The firm now manages an estimated $8 billion unrealized loss on its Ethereum purchases.
- BMNR shares have also fallen, down 3.68% on Monday and more than 32% in the last month.
Publicly traded Ethereum treasury BitMine Immersion Technologies accumulated another 51,162 ETH, or about $98 million worth, last week as the price of ETH continued its slide.
The second-largest crypto asset by market capitalization fell around 4.1% in the last seven days, recently changing hands around $1,905. Ethereum plunged to its lowest price in more than two weeks late Sunday, touching a daily low of $1,855 before starting to recover.
“In the midst of this ‘mini crypto winter,’ our focus continues to be on methodically executing our treasury strategy and steadily acquiring ETH and in turn, optimizing the yield on our ETH holdings,” said BitMine Chairman Tom Lee, in a statement.
The firm’s holdings have ballooned to 4,422,659 ETH in total, valued around $8.4 billion at the time of writing. But its accumulation, around 3.66% of the circulating Ethereum supply, has netted the firm unrealized losses of more than $8.1 billion according to data from DropsTab.
Nevertheless, Lee and the firm remain committed to acquiring ETH, and expect that 2026 will be a “defining year” for the asset as it continues to enmesh itself into the world of traditional finance. He echoed comments from last week, pointing to optimism around AI agents using Ethereum, along with the potential for blockchain use in human verification systems.
The firm’s chairman, who has predicted major price appreciation for Ethereum, has previously said that the bottom—or the lowest price before a recovery—is in for ETH on multiple occasions following the record-breaking $19 billion in liquidations on October 10.
But Ethereum keeps falling, now down more than 61% from its August 2025 all-time high of $4,946 and down 35% in the last month of trading.
Alongside it, shares in BitMine (BMNR) continue to fall, down nearly 32% on the month and greater than 63% in the last six months, recently changing hands at $19.58. BMNR has erased nearly all its gains since the firm implemented its digital asset treasury strategy last July.

End the L2 chaos! The Ethereum community proposes the "Economic Zone EEZ" to resolve cross-Rollup transactions and liquidity issues all at once.
Gnosis and Zisk proposed the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) framework, aiming to address the fragmentation issues of Ethereum L2, allowing smart contracts on different Rollups to execute cross-chain synchronously in a single transaction without the need for bridging infrastructure. The EEZ reduces complexity by directly calling mainnet contracts and establishes the EEZ Alliance to coordinate multiple participants, but it faces challenges in ecological coordination and the test of standard unification.

$40 billion in liquidity fragmentation, Ethereum L2 economic zone plan proposes integration path.
The Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) framework was proposed by the developers of Gnosis and Zisk. It aims to solve the fragmentation problem of Ethereum L2s, allowing smart contracts from different Rollups to execute across networks in a single transaction without needing to bridge. The framework includes three core mechanisms: bridge-less execution, shared infrastructure, and unified standards. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin criticized existing L2 roadmaps, emphasizing that a fundamental restructuring of the scaling architecture is needed, and his remarks have triggered disagreements across the industry.

ETH rises 1.21% in 15 minutes: ETF inflows and whale fund transfers resonate to drive up the price.
2026-03-30 00:15 to 00:30 (UTC), within the 15-minute window ETH’s price surged 1.21% quickly, rising from 1981.9 USDT to 2023.69 USDT, with a range of 2.11%. Market attention increased in tandem; during this period, the ETH/USDT trading volume rose by about 15% compared with the previous interval, the buy order ratio reached 62%, overall volatility intensified, and it attracted a large influx of capital into the spotlight.
The primary driving force behind this unusual move is that ETF inflows hit a new high, while multiple institutions’ funds continued adding to their ETH holdings, causing the circulating supply to decrease significantly.
