BitMine Faces Pressure as Ethereum Drops Below $2,500

BitMine — chaired by Tom Lee — holds a large Ethereum position and is reporting multi‑billion‑dollar unrealized losses amid recent ETH weakness.

Jan 31, 202611:50 PMNewsroom AI

BitMine Immersion Technologies, chaired by Tom Lee, holds roughly 4.24 million ETH, which the report says represents about 3.5% of total supply [1].

Ethereum’s price slid below $2,500 in recent trading, with one report citing a $2,370 price point and outsized short‑term declines that coincided with large unrealized losses on BitMine’s stake [3].

Multiple outlets report BitMine’s ETH position is currently showing about $6 billion in unrealized losses as market prices weakened [2][3][4].

Market commentators quoted in the coverage warn that, if negative trends continue, Ethereum could fall further into the $1,800–$1,850 range, a scenario that would increase pressure on large holders like BitMine [1][3][4].

Reports indicate BitMine is facing significant unrealized losses following Ethereum’s recent decline; observers highlight the firm’s sizable ETH holdings and warn of potential further downside for the asset [1][2][3][4].
