BitMine builds 5.9 million ether; 5 percent stake possible without further buys

BitMine, led by Tom Lee (톰 리), has lifted its ether holdings to 5.9 million, nearing a goal of securing 5 percent of circulating supply. Most of its holdings are staked, and an analysis suggests staking rewards alone could cover the remaining shortfall under current assumptions. Calculations vary with changes in overall ether supply and staking yields. The firm also faces choices on whether to hold or convert staking rewards into dollars.
