BitMine said its total assets had reached $15.8 billion as of Sept. 13, 2026, with Ethereum remaining the center of its balance sheet. The company disclosed holdings of 5,956,378 ETH, equal to 4.9% of Ethereum’s circulating supply, and said more than 85% of that position has been staked through its own validator nodes to generate yield. Over the past week alone, BitMine added 27,180 ETH, bringing it to what it described as 98% completion of its internal “5% alchemy” target within 15 months, with the company expecting to hit that level this year. The disclosure also listed 212 BTC, $98 million of Eightco Holdings shares, $180 million in Beast Industries equity, and $549 million in cash and marketable securities. Chairman Tom Lee said the ETH/BTC ratio had reached its highest level since Jan. 30, 2026 and broken above a long-term downtrend line, while DeMark Analytics founder Tom DeMark said Ethereum’s August technical indicators showed consolidation had finished. BitMine also said its $4 billion stock repurchase plan, launched in early July, had lifted BMNR from $13 to above $25.

Tom Lee says ETH/BTC has broken a long-term downtrend line

BitMine Chairman Tom Lee said the Ethereum-to-Bitcoin ratio, or ETH/BTC, has climbed to its highest level since Jan. 30, 2026 and moved above a long-term downtrend line. He also said the four-year cycle will bottom in the coming weeks.

The report said an upcoming vote on the CLARITY Act, a shift by South Korean investment capital toward digital assets, and the formation of a four-year cycle bottom were seen as potential positives. It also said Wall Street’s push into tokenization and blockchain applications tied to artificial intelligence could support Ethereum’s long-term share of market value.

Lee is set to speak at Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul

Lee has recently said several times that South Korean investors have resumed buying cryptocurrencies while selling artificial intelligence stocks. He is also scheduled to attend Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul at the end of September and deliver a keynote speech.

ABMedia noted that BMNR had previously been one of the stocks heavily chased by South Korean investors. With the crypto market still not out of its trough this year, Lee’s return to Seoul is drawing attention, though whether it will trigger another wave of interest remains to be seen.
