Tom Lee's BitMine expands equity offering to $24.5B for more Ethereum acquisitions
Key Takeaways
- BitMine Immersion Technologies expanded its equity offering to $24.5 billion for more Ethereum acquisitions.
- The offering is a five-fold increase from the previous $4.5 billion authorization and will be sold through at-the-market methods.
BitMine Immersion Technologies, headed by Fundstrat founder and CIO Thomas “Tom” Lee, has filed to raise its at-the-market equity program by $20 billion, pushing its total capacity to $24.5 billion. The proceeds are expected to finance the company’s future ETH acquisitions.
The expansion represents more than a five-fold increase from the company’s previous authorization of $4.5 billion. BitMine has already utilized approximately $4.5 billion of its prior authorization through sales under its existing agreement.
The common stock offering will be conducted through sales agents from Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and ThinkEquity LLC, who will receive a commission of up to 3% on gross proceeds. The shares will be sold through various methods, including direct trading on the NYSE American exchange, where BitMine trades under the symbol “BMNR.”
BitMine, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, now holds over 1 million ETH valued at approximately $5 billion, according to a Monday announcement.
BitMine has aggressively accumulated ETH with a goal of holding 5% of the total supply, solidifying its leadership in Ethereum treasuries.
Tom Lee told Bankless in a recent podcast that Ethereum has the potential to exceed Bitcoin’s value. He expects ETH prices to surge to between $7,000 and $15,000 by year’s end and is actively acquiring ETH to boost BitMine’s liquidity and reserves.
Ethereum was trading at around $4,400 at press time, up 4% in the last 24 hours, TradingView data shows.

Anthropic’s performance is “good but not good enough”: under “adjusted profitability,” revenue growth sharply brakes!
Anthropic's third-quarter revenue reached $16.8 billion, an increase of nearly 50% quarter-over-quarter, and achieved "adjusted profitability"—but the market remains unconvinced. The main concern lies in monthly growth slowing sharply from 33% to single digits, leaving a gap of several billion dollars short of the year-end $100 billion target. Token prices have hit historic lows, with the disconnect between volume and price becoming increasingly prominent. Whether this "good but not good enough" performance can support a $2 trillion IPO valuation remains uncertain.
