Tom Lee’s Christmas List: Just One Thing... More Ethereum

In a move that has Wall Street and crypto Twitter buzzing without needing a single meme, BitMine Immersion Technologies, the NYSE-listed company chaired by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, quietly scooped up 138,452 ETH last week for roughly $435 million. At an average price hovering around $3,140, this single purchase ranks as BitMine’s most aggressive weekly accumulation since early autumn and pushes their corporate treasury to a staggering new milestone.

As of the latest regulatory filing released on December 8, BitMine now holds 3,864,951 Ethereum, representing more than 3.2 percent of the entire circulating supply. When valued at current prices near $3,150, that Ethereum stack alone is worth approximately $12.2 billion. Add in a modest 193 Bitcoin, a billion dollars in cash, and a small equity position in Eightco Holdings, and BitMine’s total digital-asset war chest now exceeds $13.2 billion. For perspective, only MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin hoard is larger among publicly traded companies.

The timing is hardly accidental. Ethereum has spent most of the fourth quarter under pressure, trading well off its summer highs and battling persistent exchange inflows and ETF outflows. Yet Lee, ever the contrarian optimist, appears to be treating the dip as a generational buying opportunity. In his December Chairman’s Letter titled “The Crypto Supercycle is Intact,” he argued that the recent Fusaka upgrade, successfully activated last week, marks a structural turning point for Ethereum’s scalability and security, likening it to the seismic shift when the world abandoned the gold standard in 1971.

Lee’s bullishness doesn’t stop at technical upgrades. With the Federal Reserve widely expected to deliver another rate cut on December 10 and quantitative tightening finally winding down, the macro backdrop is aligning in crypto’s favor for the first time since 2022. Tokenization of real-world assets, institutional adoption of on-chain finance, and Ethereum’s growing role as the settlement layer for everything from JPMorgan’s stablecoin to BlackRock-inspired products all feature heavily in his 2026 outlook – one that still sees Ethereum trading north of $12,000 in the not-so-distant future.

Since October 5 alone, BitMine has added more than one million ETH to its balance sheet, bringing it within striking distance of its publicly stated goal of owning five percent of all Ethereum in existence. At the current pace, that target could be reached sometime in the first half of next year, assuming prices cooperate.

BitMine’s stock certainly liked the news: shares jumped as much as forty-five percent in early trading on December 8 before settling around $34.90, still good for a solid gain on the session. For a company that was trading in the low teens just months ago, the transformation has been nothing short of remarkable.

Whether this latest monster purchase marks the bottom for Ethereum or simply another bold bet in a multi-year accumulation campaign remains to be seen. One thing, however, is crystal clear: while many institutional players have hit pause amid the volatility, Tom Lee and BitMine are very much still in acquisition mode, and they’re doing it with both hands.
