Bitmine Is Almost at 5% of $ETH Supply and Tom Lee Is Looking at the Clarity Act



Bitmine just added another 27,180 ETH last week... pushing its Ethereum treasury even closer to a pretty wild milestone:

5.96M ETH held

4.9% of total ETH supply

5.07M ETH already staked

That means Bitmine is now roughly 98% of the way toward its goal of owning 5% of all Ethereum. At current prices, its staked ETH alone is worth nearly $13B.

And Tom Lee thinks the timing could get even more interesting. He sees the upcoming Clarity Act vote as a potential catalyst for a year-end crypto rally, while Ethereum could also benefit from the growing tokenization trend. ETH is now trying to reclaim $2,500, while $BTC and the broader market have also been recovering.

If the Clarity Act passes and ETF funds flow back in, ETH breaking its previous high is not out of the question.

5.96M ETH + a 98% progress bar—Bitmine is almost becoming ETH’s shadow central bank, with enough staking yield to live off for several lifetimes.

Tom Lee is betting that the Clarity Act can drive a year-end rally. Combined with the tokenization narrative, can ETH hold above 2500 this time?

First Review
Bitmine’s pace of accumulating ETH is really astonishing—5% of the supply is almost in its hands. Has the era of institutional control arrived?
