BitMine Launches 2026 With $105M In Ethereum And $915M In Reserve

The year begins strongly for Ethereum. The giant BitMine has just purchased $105 million worth of ETH, thus confirming its voracious appetite for the second largest asset in the crypto market.

BitMine restarts the Ethereum buying machine

BitMine makes an aggressive comeback in 2026 with a massive purchase of $105 million in Ethereum. Already holding more than 4.07 million ETH, the group now holds 3.36% of the total supply. Its objective: to reach 5% of the global supply.

With $915 million still available in liquidity reserves, BitMine aligns a striking power that intrigues as much as it worries. At the same time, it continues to increase its exposure in staking. This now exceeds $2.87 billion in locked ETH. In just a few days, nearly 128,000 tokens have been added to this strategy.

Ethereum attracts whales while the market hesitates

BitMine is not alone in seeing potential in Ethereum. According to data, crypto whales have acquired $11.2 million in ETH spread across 38 wallets this week.

At the same time, freshly created wallets have absorbed $1.16 billion. Conversely, the smart money traders have sold for $9.48 million. This reflects a divide between long-term conviction and short-term caution.

The post-bear market context of 2025 plays a key role. Some crypto analysts speak of a beneficial stress test that clarified the true dynamics of the sector. Massive staking, the resilience of the Ethereum blockchain, and the gradual arrival of institutional investment thus reinforce the credibility of an asset still undervalued according to some.

In any case, the vision becomes clearer: Ethereum no longer only attracts early adopters. It becomes the foundation of institutional digital finance, capable of supporting colossal flows. And with its massive purchases, BitMine sends a clear message: the time for building has begun.
