BitMine Immersion Technologies has reportedly added 14,618 ETH to its growing corporate treasury, according to Lookonchain’s review of Arkham data. The purchase—worth $44.34 million and traced to a BitGo-linked wallet—has yet to receive official confirmation from the company.

BitMine continues positioning itself as Ethereum’s largest corporate backer amid market volatility.

Crypto prices have been sliding for weeks, but Lee remains bullish. He forecast ETH to bottom near $2,500 before climbing toward $7,000–$9,000 by January 2026. He also expects the Federal Reserve to turn more supportive by year-end—potentially helping bitcoin surge past $100,000 and possibly set a new all-time high.
