Tom Lee Predicts $10.000 Ethereum Price With Bitmine Strategy
- Ethereum Price Prediction Hits $10.000
- Bitmine bets on treasury model with ETH
- Tokenization and staking strengthen the thesis for Ethereum
Macro strategist and Fundstrat founder Tom Lee is betting big on Ethereum as he takes over as CEO of Bitmine Immersion Technologies. The company has launched a treasury model focused on accumulating ETH, inspired by MicroStrategy’s strategy with Bitcoin but adapted to the context of Ethereum.
Bitmine’s shares have surged about 1.000% since the announcement, reflecting market optimism. Lee said Ethereum is the leading layer-1 blockchain for tokenizing real-world assets. He highlighted the growing role of stablecoins and the work of companies like Robinhood and Coinbase as part of an ongoing transformation.
“Ethereum, in my opinion, is attractive because it’s the Layer 1 blockchain where real-world assets are being tokenized,” Lee said in an interview. The idea is to get ahead of companies that he said haven’t yet realized the potential of including ETH in their treasury strategies.
Lee also explained why he sees advantages to choosing Ethereum over Bitcoin in this model: “One is that there is a yield that you can earn on Ethereum through staking. … The second is that the volatility provided by Ethereum … is actually double that of Bitcoin. So … that makes it cheaper to fund purchases.”
Even admitting that Ethereum went through a period of stagnation, he believes that the growing tokenization of financial assets opens space for a new appreciation of layer 1 networks with concrete utility.
Regarding Ethereum price predictions, Lee stated, “Ethereum could probably go to $10.000 or something like that,” citing the multiples of blockchain-based companies like Circle as a basis. He believes that ETH may be deeply undervalued, and Bitmine’s move marks the beginning of a new cycle in the cryptocurrency market.
In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI."

Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.

Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
