Will BitMine’s Explosive Ethereum Accumulation Spree End in a Devastating Demand Cliff?

In Ethereum

BitMine’s Ether holdings moved above 6.02 million ETH after another weekly purchase of 12,532 ETH, bringing the treasury to about 4.9% of Ethereum’s supply. Several updates framed that as putting the company close to its 5% target, while one piece said the company would need about 88,586 more ETH and another put the remaining gap at about 100,000 ETH.
