At current market prices of $4,535 per ETH, Bitmine’s Ethereum reserves are now worth approximately $13.4 billion, giving it control of over 2% of the total ETH supply.
Bitmine’s rapid ETH accumulation in Q3 propelled it ahead of Marathon Digital, whose $6.5 billion holdings remain largely Bitcoin-based.
Only Michael Saylor-led Strategy ranks higher globally, holding 640,031 BTC valued at $80 billion.
As Ethereum delivered its best-ever Q3 performance, Bitmine’s aggressive accumulation has impacted its stock performance positively. BMNR rose 41.7% in the past month and was trading at a market cap of $17.7 billion at the time of this report.

At the Token 2049 conference in Singapore, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee reaffirmed the company’s long-term commitment to Ethereum, citing fresh talks for AI integration.
“Tom Lee Ethereum thesis is retarded.”@fundstrat responded,
In the crypto world being retarded is a good thing. I took it as a compliment. I’m ETH-tarding!
This is why I love Bitmine and Tom.

“We spent the past week in Singapore at Token2049 meeting with many leaders in the crypto and blockchain industry. The BitMine team sat down with Ethereum core developers and key ecosystem players and it is clear the community is focused on enabling Wall Street and AI to build the future on Ethereum,” said Lee.
Lee emphasized Ethereum’s 100% uptime, established developer community, and deep liquidity as potential value drivers for AI infrastructure.
Ethereum price surged 4% intraday, climbing above $4,719, its highest level since mid-September. This marks the strongest single-day rally since October 1, signaling renewed optimism as investors anticipate bullish reactions to the US shutdown to spill over into the week ahead.
