  • Tom Lee’s Bitmine buys another $41 million in ETH.
  • This brings the firm’s total ETH holdings to $16.4 billion.
  • Tom Lee expects ETH to perform better this cycle than the last. 

The slight dip in crypto market prices this morning may have disheartened a few traders, investors, and holders, but many took the dip as a prime opportunity to accumulate. Presently, the price of ETH is trading in the $2,600 price range as opposed to the $2,700 it was trading at yesterday. Within this time, Tom Lee’s Bitmine buys another $41 million in ETH, bringing total to $16.4 billion in ETH holdings. 

Bitmine Buys Another $41 Million in ETH 

Ever since El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, went on to declare Bitcoin a legal tender within its borders, the entire crypto investment state experienced a massive shift. What’s more, seeing El Salvador use its BTC profits to improve the state of the country  practically proved the power and capability of the pioneer crypto asset. Since then BTC accumulation by visionary leaders became a norm. 

Since then, crypto has come a long way and hoarding BTC in massive amounts is not an easy feat considering how high its value has gone since El Salvador’s decision. Instead, we saw a rise in ETH accumulation from massive entities, and the firm leading the charge in Bitmine, under Tom Lee’s leadership. 

Tom Lee’s Leadership Now Holds $16.4 Billion in ETH

To highlight, the previous bull cycle saw Bitmine completely pivot from a Bitcoin Mining company to an ETH accumulation company. They even went on to sell all their BTC for ETH and have since been ETH steadily any time the market provided a good buy opportunity. In fact, Tom Lee’s goal is to hold 5% of the total ETH supply and he is getting steadily close to this goal every few months.

As we can see from the post above, Tom Lee‘s BitMine bought $41 million worth of ETH, bringing the firm’s total ETH holdings to $16.4 billion. Lee has been talking about ETH hitting new ATHs as far as $10,000 to $12,000, a move we are still waiting to see. Now, he expresses his expectation for the current bull run to be bigger than the previous ones, could this mean an even greater bull target for ETH?

From the post above, we can tell that the latest dip means losing a crucial box for ETH. The analyst goes on to explain how two weeks of every dip into $2,630 got bought, only for one hourly candle at 3 AM UK to dump it to $2,590 on nearly 10x normal volume. Yesterday, he hoped to see ETH hold $2,630, but it did not and is now trading just below it, meaning $2,630 is now the ceiling. As long as $2,630 caps, $2,590 could break and $2,564 liquidity could get tested next. However, reclaiming it would mean $2,683 will be back in play.

1. Cross-asset performance diverged this week. Between the October 30 and November 6 closes, the S&P 500 fell 2.68%, the Nasdaq 100 dropped 4.91%, and BTC lost 1.88%. Gold and silver rose 4.51% and 5.79%, respectively, while the Hang Seng gained 5.10%. Sharp declines in crude oil and some Asian equity indexes showed how differently assets responded to growth, policy, and event risks. 2. Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, and markets rallied before reversing. We focus on actual changes in fiscal negotiations, key committee arrangements, and local industrial policy, especially data-center approvals, energy costs, and the pace of capital expenditure. We do not map party outcomes directly to asset direction. 3. The pullback in technology stocks has put returns on AI investment under renewed scrutiny. Whether rapid growth can cover financing, construction, and ongoing compute costs is becoming a key valuation test. For related positions, monitor policy implementation, customer capital expenditure, and cash collection together, and do not read a one-day rebound as a sign that the pressure has passed. 4. Anthropic's IPO preparations are putting the growth quality, operating profitability, and funding needs of AI model companies under public-market scrutiny. Valuations discussed for the offering are not final pricing, and participating in related products also requires assessing fees, allocation methods, asset rights, and trading restrictions. Assets in focus: BTC, the Nasdaq 100, crude oil, and gold, along with key earnings from companies including CSCO, AMAT, and CEG
