BitMine’s Ethereum Blitz: $417M Buy Fuels Alchemy of 5% as ETHUSD Eyes $5000 Breakout

On October 16, 2025, BitMine Imersion Technologies (BMNR) kept up its forceful Ethereum collection, grabbing 104,336 ETH worth around $417 million through seven Kraken transactions. And BitGo wallets, bringing its weekly total to more than 330,000 ETH worth $1.35 billion following buys of 202,037 ETH ($838M) on October 13 and October 10, 23,823 ETH ($103.7M) With 3.03 million ETH—almost $12.2 billion and 2.5% of the total Ethereum supply—BitMine confirms itself as the biggest publicly traded ETH treasury and second-largest. Behind Strategy's Bitcoin stash, the crypto holder is advancing more than half toward Chairman Tom Lee's goal of achieving 5% of the ETH supply via his "Alchemy of 5%." Building on a 20% price drop from August highs and $19 billion in weekend liquidations, the company is strategically purchasing at discounted prices, with Lee predicting by year-end, ETH might be worth $10,000–$12,000 given corporate adoption, tokenization, and favorable regulations.

ETHUSD is consolidating in a narrow range between $4276 and $3892 for the past three days. It hits an intraday high of $4080 and is currently trading around $4055.
