Bitmine Immersion Technologies is considering slowing its purchases of ether after rapidly accumulating a large stake in the cryptocurrency. Chairman Tom Lee made the remarks during a keynote at Consensus 2026 in Miami on Thursday. The firm has amassed over 5.1 million ETH valued at approximately $11.9 billion.

BitMine Immersion Technologies bought 10,000 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation for $23 million in an over-the-counter transaction at $2,292.15 per ETH. This follows a similar sale the prior week and a March deal, with proceeds supporting Ethereum operations, R&D, ecosystem grants, and community initiatives.

BitMine Immersion Technologies, led by Tom Lee, purchased $240 million worth of Ethereum in its third consecutive weekly buy exceeding 100,000 ETH. The move coincides with Ethereum's continued price rise and Bitcoin hitting $80,000 for the first time since January. Meanwhile, Strategy skipped a Bitcoin purchase as BTC reached this milestone.

Ethereum has dropped about 7% to around $1,947 amid market volatility, but Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong points to strong retail investor behavior as a positive sign. Retail users on the platform are buying the dip and maintaining or increasing their holdings of Bitcoin and Ethereum. This trend suggests growing maturity among individual investors despite broader market challenges.

Harvard University's endowment has reduced its bitcoin holdings while purchasing shares in a BlackRock ether ETF. Analysts attribute the move to portfolio rebalancing amid volatility and liquidity needs rather than a shift away from crypto. The actions signal growing institutional interest in assets beyond bitcoin.
