Bitmine Purchased 13.7 Million OCTO Shares

Bitmine Technologies, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, saw its investment in Eightco Holdings (OCTO) surge after acquiring 13.7 million shares at $1.46 per share. Following Monday’s surge, the position is up 3,000%, with the stake’s paper value rising from $20 million to roughly $628 million, assuming shares hold near current levels. This stock rally came as Eightco Holdings announced its Worldcoin Treasury plan a day before.

As of Monday’s closing, OCTO stock is trading at nearly 30 times net asset value (NAV), underscoring the scale of the rally. Market observers note that strategist Tom Lee is backing companies building on Ethereum (ETH), with the goal of strengthening the network’s ecosystem.

Bitmine itself aims to own 5% of ETH, positioning its investments as part of a broader strategy to become a full-scale Ethereum ecosystem play. Company CEO Tom Lee confirmed the development, noting:

“BMNR purchased 13.7mm shares of $OCTO for $1.46 per share, or $20 million in total, as part of BitMine’s ‘moonshot’ strategy. This directly benefits BitMine shareholders as this investment is currently worth $1.1 billion to $BMNR shareholders”.

Adding More Ethereum to Treasury

Despite the ETH price pullback to $4,300, Tom Lee’s Bitmine has continued to add more ETH to its Treasury. Over the past week, the ETH treasury firm purchased a massive 202,469 ETH worth $881 million. Following the acquisition, the company’s total ETH holdings have climbed to 2,069,443 ETH, valued at approximately $9 billion.

Such large-scale accumulation underscores growing institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value. Speaking on the development, Tom Lee stated:

“BitMine has surpassed the 2 million ETH milestone this past week. “At BitMine, we are leading our crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of our stock.”

On Monday, the BMNR stock price surged 4.19% to $43.79. Furthermore, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest purchased a massive 101,950 shares of the ETH treasury firm, across its three different funds – ARKK, ARKF, and ARKW. Since announcing its ETH treasury plan in late June, the BMNR stock price has increased by over 500% so far.
