Strive has slowed its pace of increasing Bitcoin holdings, purchasing only 124 new Bitcoin last week.

Bitmine Chairman Thomas "Tom" Lee said in a recent announcement: "Late last week, Binance was hacked, with $6.3 billion in customer funds stolen. According to reports from Binance and other media outlets, the breach originated from a contractor gaining access to Binance’s corporate infrastructure. The FBI has named North Korea as the perpetrator. While this is a terrible development, in my view, the relatively muted reaction from the crypto market is very constructive, especially when compared to market responses to large-scale crypto thefts in the past." Lee added: "In February 2025, Bybit was also targeted by North Korean hackers (using a completely different modus operandi), with $1.5 billion in customer crypto assets stolen. On the day the Bybit theft was announced, Ethereum (ETH) dropped 8% and fell 20% within a week. By contrast, since the Binance theft was disclosed, ETH has only fallen 4%. We believe that despite this theft being roughly four times larger than the Bybit incident, the market’s reaction is far milder." Bitmine outlines six reasons for the muted market response to the Binance hack: 1. Binance has sufficient financial capacity to cover all customer losses. 2. There has been no cascading collapse of DeFi protocols, unlike what occurred after the Bybit theft. 3. The industry’s rapid action reduced potential losses by 50%. 4. The FBI named North Korea (DPRK) as the responsible party just two days after the hack, whereas in past thefts, authorities took up to 180 days to identify the DPRK. 5. The breach was a "corporate infiltration" of Binance’s infrastructure, not a vulnerability in the blockchain itself. 6. The limited price downside signals that the crypto "bull market" is ongoing, despite recent price declines. Tom Lee noted that overall, Bitmine believes this demonstrates the crypto industry is growing increasingly resilient and better equipped to absorb state-sponsored attacks on financial infrastructure.
