BitMine Shares Surge 2,150% After Ethereum Treasury Strategy Announcement
#BitMine Immersion Technologies shares skyrocketed to $135, marking a 2,150% increase since naming Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee as board chair.
The company's stock was halted twice on Thursday as trading volume surged following the
$ETH treasury strategy reveal.
Lee believes BitMine will accumulate
$ETH before a stablecoin boom drives institutional demand for the asset.
The strategy anticipates major banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs will begin staking
$ETH to secure billions in new dollar-pegged tokens.
BitMine raised $250 million through private placement with investors including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and Pantera Capital.
Private placement investors paid $4.50 per share but cannot sell their holdings until SEC registration becomes effective.
The company plans to maximize shareholder value by growing its
$ETH holdings per share through #staking and #DeFi protocols.
