BitMine Doubles Down Contrarian Bet, Purchases $1.99 Billion in ETH Despite Market Smart Money Betting on ETH Price Drop
On December 7, Cointelegraph reported that BitMine is continuing heavy buying amid market declines, while top-performing traders in the Ethereum space are broadly betting on further ETH price drops.
BitMine has accumulated $199 million worth of ETH over the past two days: $68 million purchased on Saturday and $130.7 million on Friday.
Currently, BitMine holds $11.3 billion in ETH, accounting for 3.08% of Ethereum’s total supply—nearing its long-term accumulation target of 5%. The firm also has an additional $882 million in cash reserves earmarked for potential further ETH investments.
On-chain analytics platform Nansen identified that “smart money” traders are ramping up ETH short positions: they added $2.8 million in shorts over the past 24 hours, bringing total short positions to $21 million.

DOYR Meme Coin Market Cap Rises to $15.38 Million, Surging Over 45% in 2 Hours
On December 7th, data from GMGN shows that DOYR—a meme coin on the BNB Chain ecosystem—surged over 45% in the past two hours. Its market cap stands at $15.38 million, with a total trading volume of $41.4 million.
Last night, Binance Co-CEO He Yi noted in a post that issuing coins by “finding angles” from tweets is a community-driven act, and users should be aware of investment risks tied to DOYR. (Note: This was a typo—He Yi intended to write “DYOR” instead of “DOYR.”) Shortly after, CZ retweeted the post, stating: “DOYR = DO Your meme? Tweeting does not imply endorsement of any meme or token.”
BlockBeats reminds users that meme coins often lack practical use cases and exhibit extreme price volatility; investors should approach such assets with caution.

Bitcoin Mining Full Cost Has Soared to $138,000, Mining Firms Are Massively Shifting to AI/HPC Business
On December 7, CryptoRank released new data showing the average cash cost for a mining firm to produce one Bitcoin has climbed to $74,600. When including depreciation and stock-based compensation (SBC), total costs hit $137,800.
With the total network hashrate crossing the symbolic 1 ZH/s milestone, competition has intensified sharply—pushing miner profitability into a steep decline. This trend is leading many publicly traded mining companies to redirect capacity toward higher-margin businesses like AI/HPC (High-Performance Computing), instead of doubling down on traditional Bitcoin mining. The industry is now splitting into two key models:
? Infrastructure Providers: Repurposing mining data centers for high-margin computing operations
? Traditional Miners: Struggling to stay afloat in an increasingly competitive, near-zero-profit landscape
