The company led by Chairman Tom Lee bought 9,926 ETH last week, continuing its streak of weekly buys.
Bitmine now owns 5.815 million ETH tokens, equal to 4.8% of the circulating supply. The company's Ethereum holdings are worth about $11 billion U.S. based on the current price.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies also bought back 1.7 million shares of its own stock last week under a previously authorized $4 billion U.S. share repurchase program.
Lee said that the Ethereum-to-Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) ratio has broken above a down trend, which he sees as a sign that investors are starting to price in growing demand for ETH.
BMNR stock has declined 65% over the last 12 months to trade at $18.80 U.S. per share.
Ethereum is trading at $1,905 U.S. on Aug. 17.
