Bitmine announced $74 million in Ether purchases, expanding its crypto treasury position. The company’s chair also said there were “greater chances” of the Clarity Act passing.
The purchase is notable because it shows Bitmine adding substantial exposure to Ether while regulatory developments remain a key consideration for companies operating in the US crypto market.
Bitmine’s approach contrasts with that of crypto treasury peer Strategy. On Monday, Strategy reported selling millions of dollars’ worth of its Bitcoin holdings.
The opposing moves illustrate how companies with large cryptocurrency treasuries can take different approaches to managing their holdings. Bitmine is increasing its Ether position, while Strategy has reduced part of its Bitcoin exposure.
