#数字资产市场动态 A major move by a crypto company: The logic behind a $13 billion Ethereum holding

The head of BitMine recently revealed a set of data that has sparked market discussion. The company's on-book Ethereum assets have reached $13 billion—how impressive is this figure? It’s enough to catch the eye of institutional investors.

According to him, by staking these ETH, the company expects to earn over $40 million in pre-tax income annually. In other words, this asset is like a printing press, generating cash flow just by holding. In the current crypto ecosystem, this model represents the typical approach of large players.

What’s more aggressive is that they recently invested $200 million into the industry fund of top YouTube creator MrBeast. Publicly stated, the expected return multiple on this investment could be as high as 10 times. However, there’s another side to the story—since July last year, they have been continuously accumulating Ethereum, and now the paper loss has approached $2.3 billion.

This is the true picture of the crypto market: opportunities and risks always go hand in hand. Large holdings, diversified investments, and paper losses caused by market volatility... every aspect tests the psychological resilience and judgment of participants. What do you think of this long-term allocation strategy? Is it a prudent approach to asset preservation, or a test of risk tolerance?

2.3 billion floating loss and still dare to boast about printing money, this mental resilience is truly strong.

$13 billion holdings with a $2.3 billion unrealized loss... How strong must one's mindset be? I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep.

13 billion USD just hearing about it is dizzying, and they didn't panic over 2.3 billion USD floating loss. This must be the confidence of big players... However, earning 400 million USD annually from collateralization is indeed impressive.

let me break this down for you — if you examine the data, the governance precedent here is actually fascinating. $23b in unrealized losses while staking generates $400m annually? historically speaking, this voting power concentration concerns me more than the flopped mrbeast bet tbh. fundamentally, the tokenomics framework doesn't justify this level of exposure... ngl the risk asymmetry is wild

Still boasting about printing money with 2.3 billion floating losses, this mindset is truly hopeless.

$13 billion staked and earning passive income, but a floating loss of $2.3 billion... How strong must one's mental resilience be? I really can't handle it.

2.3 billion floating loss still dares to boast about 400 million annualized income, this is a typical survivor bias narrative... On-chain data will speak.

$13 billion in holdings still have an unrealized loss of $2.3 billion. How strong must one's mental resilience be... Earning $400 million passively sounds great, but the prerequisite is surviving until that day.

130 billion holdings still have a loss of 2.3 billion. How strong must one's mental resilience be... It sounds great to print money while lying down, but the prerequisite is that the price doesn't fall.
