BitMine Immersion Technologies bought 126,971 ETH for about $214 million, its largest ETH purchase of 2026, bringing its treasury to 5.54 million ETH valued at roughly $9.3 billion. Chairman Tom Lee linked the purchase to an AI-assisted discovery of a Zcash vulnerability and said hardened decentralized blockchains like Ethereum look more attractive, while BitMine also advanced a preferred share offering to fund additional ETH buys.
