After the return of the Ether factory to about $1,500, the bulk hold of Tom Lee Associates, BitMine Immmension Technologies, was under significant book pressure. The company ' s unrealized losses on ETH were reported to have reached approximately $10.5 billion, and the market was concerned about the risk of volatility associated with its high concentration configuration.

Storage costs are higher than current prices

Reports indicate that Bitmine had previously purchased ETH at an average price of about $3,400 to $3900. Based on the current price range, the holding stock as a whole has been substantially reversed.

The company holds approximately 5.4 million to 5.8 million ETH. On this scale, it is estimated that it accounts for nearly 5 per cent of the total supply of the Taifung and is a large single holdr in the open market.

  • The average purchase price is about $3400 to $3900.
  • Approximately 5.4 million to 5.8 million ETH
  • The report says the book count is about 60%.

ETH drops and magnifies the book losses

As ETH fell near $1,500, the unrealized losses of this part of the warehouse were rapidly magnified. Unrealized losses do not amount to actual sales losses, but when prices continue to weaken, the market usually reassesss the financial sustainability and subsequent operating space of the company concerned.

It was also mentioned that in the recent past macro-factors continued to suppress broader encryption market performance, which also made the short-term repair expected by ETH more cautious. For high-cost, large-position holders, book pressure will continue to rise as prices go further.

Market focus follow-up strategy

The report mentions that Tom Lee remains optimistic about the long-term evolution of ETH. However, from a market point of view, there is more concern about whether BitMine will continue to maintain its current position and whether ETH will recover the critical drop in the follow-up.

Unrealized losses for institutional silos are not in themselves a necessary trigger for reduction, but the impact of price fluctuations on corporate valuation and market sentiment tends to be magnified when the silo concentration is high. The case of BitMine also reflects once again the cyclical risks faced by the agency in recasting encrypted assets.
