BlackRock’s BitMine investment lifts BMNR stock

Highlights

  • BMNR stock posted modest gains despite broader crypto market weakness, rising nearly 2% in recent trading.
  • The rebound followed a disclosure showing BlackRock significantly increased its exposure to BitMine shares.
  • BitMine sees potential upside from its reported link with MrBeast.

The BMNR stock has seen some price relief despite the current crypto market decline. This came as a result of news that BlackRock increased its exposure in BitMine’s shares in its latest disclosure.

BMNR Stock Recovers Amid BlackRock Bitmine Purchase

According to Yahoo Finance, the Ethereum treasury firm’s stock saw some price gains in the trading hours of yesterday. The shares recorded a nearly 2% increase after the new purchase disclosure was filed.

This pump came after BlackRock disclosed in a filing that it had made a 165.6% increase in its stake in the treasury company shares. The asset manager increased its stake in the firm despite BitMine sitting on an unrealized loss of about $8 billion.

Experts say this new investment in the BMNR stock most likely stems from the firm’s consistent purchase of ETH despite the crash. For instance, earlier this week, the firm bought about $84 million in Ethereum with Tom Lee defending its current paper losses. The firm has also continued to stake the tokens as they buy them.

Tom Lee said that investors need less focus on the timing of the low price and more on looking for entry points. “You should be thinking about opportunities here instead of selling,” Lee said on Wednesday.

The chairman said that a recent decline in crypto prices is because gold prices were volatile recently, which impacted other areas. Towards the end of January, the market capitalization of gold changed by trillions of dollars in just a single day. This level of confidence has boosted investor confidence in the BMNR stock.

BitMine Eyes Stock Upside Amid MrBeast Link

The Ethereum treasury firm is looking towards its new MrBeast partnership to boost its share value. Lee said that every generation has a finance center, and for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, that center would be MrBeast.

These two generations would also require help with investment and budgeting. BitMine aims to benefit from that market with its investment in the firm, boosting the BMNR stock, which is 10% down this month.

“Beast has an opportunity to become the financial institution of its generation,” Lee said. He also said that this younger generation may not yet have accumulated wealth, but they will become the target of a “huge upcoming wealth transfer.”

By the time the money moves, Lee anticipates their platform will be a place where they use digital assets for day-to-day transactions.
