Tom Lee: Accumulated 4.21% of ETH Supply in 10 Months, Recently Accelerated Buying Due to Expectation of Market Being in Late Bear Cycle
April 27 — Bitmine Chairman Thomas "Tom" Lee announced today that the firm’s Ethereum (ETH) holdings have surpassed 5 million coins, hitting its target of holding 5% of total ETH supply in just 10 months.
Currently, Bitmine’s ETH accounts for 4.21% of the total ETH supply (120.7 million coins).
Over the past four weeks, Bitmine has ramped up its ETH accumulation—its core thesis is that ETH is now in the final phase of a "mini crypto winter."
Recent research, including Etherealize’s latest report, notes ETH functions as a "store of value" and will be used as collateral as digital assets gain mainstream traction in financial transactions. Since the Iran conflict erupted, ETH’s standout performance has underscored this new role: it has outperformed the S&P 500 by 1,696 basis points and remains the top-performing single asset globally (excluding oil).

Tether Launches Bitcoin Mining Open Infrastructure Layer MDK
On April 27th, Tether announced the launch of its Mining Development Kit (MDK) — an open-source, full-stack framework built to give Bitcoin miners and developers unified control over their entire infrastructure stack.

The Trump Shooting Incident Banquet remained open to the public during the event, with reporters stating, "In fact, no one really read the invitation letter."
On April 27, Washington journalist Andy Sullivan—citing Reuters—reported that the Black-Tie Gala shooting occurred in an underground hotel ballroom. During the event, public access to hotel facilities (including check-in and taxi services) remained normal. The suspect called this a "crazy security loophole."
White House reporter Jacob Bogage commented: "The hotel’s entrance and back door had additional measures to secure VIP arrivals and departures, but security checks were inconsistent—lax at times, strict at others. Once, I showed only the back of an envelope holding my invitation to a staffer, and they let me through. Another time, I waved my invitation; no one actually looked at it closely before letting me in—it could’ve been anything."
