  1. tldr; BitMine has incurred an unrealized loss of $6.6 billion on its Ethereum holdings, ranking it among the largest trading losses in history. The company purchased 4.3 million ETH at prices between $3,800 and $3,900, but ETH now trades near $2,300. BitMine, which shifted from Bitcoin mining to becoming an Ethereum treasury firm, aims to own 5% of Ethereum’s supply. Despite backing from major investors like Ark Invest and Founders Fund, the firm faces significant challenges as Ethereum prices remain low, though it has not used leverage for its purchases.

  2. He is smarter than you.i dont think he would bet billions in a bad project you are just plebs and cant see long term.

  3. This OTC shit needs to stop, maybe if these companies actually bought from the open market they’d create some fomo and a new run up. Instead they pool theirs, yours, your grandmas, and the couch change to buy OTC. This massively drops liquidity, retail doesn’t see price go up so they get bored and leave, all these “we’re buying a billion coins” announcements are met with further downside so it looks fake to people and here we are. So fuck em, buy like a god damn man or get rekt and get the fuck out.

    So bizarre these large players don’t DCA, like why buy tens of millions in a single trade? If your whole business is just being an ETH Treasury what’re you doing like…the other 23.99 hours of the day?

    sensationalist post, imo.
    bitmine hasn’t realized the loss and they’re not in danger of having to as they’re not leveraged. not that this is a great look for them, but it’s far from a “trading catastrophe” as they can simply stake and wait it out.
