According to @lookonchain, Tom Lee of Fundstrat’s Bitmine bought 24,266 ETH worth $75.59M last week, marking its lowest weekly ETH purchase on record. According to @lookonchain, Bitmine now holds 4,167,768 ETH valued at $12.98B. According to PR Newswire, Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) reported ETH holdings of 4.168 million tokens and total crypto and cash holdings of $14.0B. Based on @lookonchain and PR Newswire, the reported ETH position represents about 92.7% of total reported crypto and cash holdings, and based on @lookonchain, the record-low weekly addition indicates a deceleration in Bitmine’s ETH accumulation pace versus prior weeks.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, wallet 0xDBc...F651F accumulated 3,000 ETH at $2,927.32 on Dec 25, 2025 for an outlay of roughly $8.78M and held the position for about three weeks (source: @ai_9684xtpa; on-chain reference: Arkham Intelligence explorer intel.arkm.com/explorer/address/0xDBc4f35c481bb58B53f3fbcdf4267A5Af7eF651F). According to @ai_9684xtpa, about one hour before the post the wallet deposited the full 3,000 ETH to Binance, suggesting readiness to transact near $3,102.36 (source: @ai_9684xtpa). If sold at $3,102.36, the trade would realize approximately $525,000 profit, or about $175 per ETH, with notional value around $9.31M based on the stated size and price (source: @ai_9684xtpa; calculation from the reported figures).

According to @lookonchain, an early Ethereum holder who bought 154,076 ETH at a 517 dollar average deposited the remaining 26,000 ETH worth about 80.88 million dollars to Bitstamp roughly 5 hours ago, bringing total realized profit to about 274 million dollars, up 344 percent, source: @lookonchain. Over the past two days before this transfer, the same address had sent another 40,251 ETH valued near 124 million dollars to Bitstamp, and the activity was described as continuing to dump ETH, source: @lookonchain. All ETH amounts, USD valuations, and timing are cited from on-chain tracking shared by Lookonchain, including the Arkham entity link referenced in the post, source: @lookonchain.

According to @EmberCN, a whale or institution that accumulated 101,000 ETH at a $660 average five years ago sent its final 26,000 ETH, about $80.88M, to Bitstamp roughly 4 hours ago, completing a full exit; the address flows are visible via Arkham Intelligence, source: @EmberCN; Arkham Intelligence. The position was built via Binance and Bitstamp and exited around a $3,313 average, locking in roughly $269M in profit, approximately 4x, with earlier exchange transfers averaging $3,383, source: @EmberCN; Arkham Intelligence. Exchange inflows like this final 26,000 ETH deposit are commonly associated with pending sell execution and increased near-term offer-side liquidity on the depositing venue, supporting potential short-term pressure on ETH spot pairs, source: @EmberCN; Glassnode Academy. With the address now cleared, there is no remaining ETH balance from this entity after this batch, removing a previously identifiable source of sell supply once absorbed, source: @EmberCN; Arkham Intelligence. Traders can reference the $3,313 to $3,383 zone where this entity realized exits as a recent supply area, source: @EmberCN.

According to the source, BitMine acquired another 32,977 ETH, lifting its total holdings to 4.14 million ETH. According to the source, this position is valued at $13 billion and equals 3.4% of Ethereum’s circulating supply, indicating notable whale concentration. Based on the source-reported concentration, traders should monitor BitMine-linked wallet flows for large exchange deposits or withdrawals that can affect ETH order-book liquidity and slippage. Building on the source’s figures, watch ETH funding rates, futures basis, options skew, and the ETH/BTC ratio for stress tied to potential whale activity. According to the source, the ongoing accumulation makes on-chain alerts, exchange reserves, and staking inflows key leading indicators for managing short-term ETH volatility.
