  "account": "Bitmine, the world's largest holder of Ethereum, has resumed its purchases of the cryptocurrency over the past weeks, according to crypto asset managers. Among the notable figures in this realm are Bitmine, Strategy, Metaplanet, Strive, and DeFi Development, all of which have restarted their Bitcoin acquisitions in recent weeks. This trend extends to companies focused on amassing the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum. Bitmine stands out in this category by a considerable margin. The American firm does not face any competitors in the ranking of largest Ether holders, or the token of Ethereum. In the last week, Bitmine added another 12,532 tokens of the second-largest cryptocurrency, a key component of decentralized finance (DeFi). The American group has even more to boast, having purchased Ether virtually every week since launching its crypto treasury strategy centered on Ethereum in June 2025. The result of this continued accumulation strategy is a portfolio totaling 6,028,946 Ethereum tokens, which is valued at approximately $15 billion at market prices. Even more striking is another figure: Bitmine's latest purchases allow the American group to control 4.9% of the 122,133,648 Ether tokens in circulation. Bitmine's dominance among companies amassing the most Ether gives the group a significant advantage over the second-ranked company, SharpLink. Its current portfolio represents 0.73% of all tokens in circulation. The podium is completed by The Ether Machine, with a 0.41% share. The extreme volatility experienced by Ethereum's price over the past months has translated into significant swings in Bitmine's stock prices. The company, listed on Wall Street, shows a negative balance of 55% over the last twelve months. During the same period, the price of Ether accumulated losses of 40%. The balance is much more favorable over the last three months. During this period, Bitmine's shares have surged by 44%, a percentage that again surpasses the recorded gains of Ether, a 32% increase.",
