Bitmine (BMNR) has faced criticism after reports showed an unrealized loss of about $6.6 billion on its Ethereum holdings amid a market downturn. Some traders warned that this could create future selling pressure and limit ETH’s price. Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee pushed back, saying these views misunderstand the purpose of an Ethereum treasury; it’s meant to mirror ETH’s price over the full cycle, so paper losses during a slump are expected. Lee called the losses “a feature, not a bug,” comparing them to index ETFs that also show losses in down markets, and emphasized Bitmine’s long‑term strategy and ongoing ETH accumulation.
