BitMine’s ETH holdings surpass 6 million coins, just 2% away from its 5% target

BitMine disclosed on September 28: it bought another 17,362 ETH over the past week, bringing its total holdings to 6,001,302 ETH, or 4.9% of ETH’s total supply (122.1 million ETH).

Key figures:
- About 104,000 ETH short of its “Alchemy of 5%” target, completion rate 98%
- Staked 5.067 million ETH (84% of its holdings), with annualized staking income projected at $358 million
- Treasury total assets of $17.2 billion (as of September 27)
- Since the strategy was launched at the end of June 2025, it has bought every week—accumulating 6 million coins over 15 months

Worth noting is that the buying pace has slowed: this week it purchased 17,362 ETH, down 37% from 27,562 ETH last week. The closer it gets to the target, the harder BitMine’s next move becomes—keep adding more, preserve cash, repurchase shares, or rely on staking income?
