BitMine Immersion Technologies has increased its Ethereum holdings to 566,776 ETH, valued at over $2 billion, becoming the largest publicly traded Ethereum treasury firm. This surge follows significant investments from prominent backers like Peter Thiel and Ark Invest, fueling a competitive race among crypto treasury firms for ether accumulation.

BitMine has approved a stock repurchase program worth up to $1 billion as it aims to acquire 5% of Ethereum's supply. The company currently holds 625,000 ETH valued at approximately $2.4 billion, alongside 192 BTC and significant cash reserves. This move reflects BitMine's strategic shift towards prioritizing Ethereum accumulation.
