Tom Lee's BitMine has become the world's largest corporate ETH holder with 1.15M ETH (~$5B), driving ETH's price and narrative as a corporate reserve asset.
Key Points
1. BitMine Immersion Technologies, chaired by Tom Lee, now holds 1.15M ETH (~$5B), representing 1% of ETH's circulating supply.
2. Tom Lee aims to acquire 5% of ETH's circulating supply (~$25B), with BMNR stock rising 40% over two days on the news.
3. ETH ETFs saw a record $1.02B in net inflows, outperforming BTC ETFs, as staking yield and DeFi composability attract corporate interest.

5. ETH's price rose 2% to $4,280, with analysts comparing the corporate accumulation trend to Bitcoin's MicroStrategy moment.
