How Bitmine could surpass its 5% Ethereum goal without buying more ETH
Bitmine acquired 53,501 ETH, increasing holdings to 5.9M. Staking rewards may help reach 5% Ethereum target, needing ~74% retention over 2 years. Ethereum supply growth complicates the goal. Bitmine's strategy depends on retaining staking rewards for growth or converting them for expenses and dividends.
