Bitmine CEO, an Ethereum-Focused Treasury Company, Announces Loss: “Expected Result!” Here Are the Details

2 min read

Bitmine (BMNR), an Ethereum-focused treasury company, has responded to comments regarding its “$6.6 billion in unrealized losses” and the possibility of future selling pressure limiting ETH prices. CEO Tom Lee argued that such assessments overlook the fundamental logic of the Ethereum treasury model.

According to Tom Lee, Bitmine’s structure doesn’t claim to be immune to short-term price fluctuations. Rather, the company is positioned with a strategy that inherently tracks the ETH price and aims to perform throughout the market cycle.

Therefore, Lee stated that it is normal to see “unrealized losses” on ETH assets during sharp declines in the crypto market, describing it not as a problem but as an expected outcome of the system.

Lee likened this situation to index ETFs in traditional markets. He pointed out that index ETFs also lose value when the market declines, but said this doesn’t mean the product is flawed; rather, it’s a natural reflection of the logic behind tracking the index.

Similarly, he emphasized that Bitmine, as an ETH-based treasury company, could experience value losses during market downturns, but the goal is to catch up with and, if possible, surpass ETH’s performance in the long-term cycle.

On the other hand, addressing claims that Bitmine will be forced to sell ETH in the future, which would suppress prices, Lee stated that this approach misinterprets the company’s strategic design. According to Lee, the goal of Ethereum treasury companies is not to avoid short-term price fluctuations, but to sustainably manage exposure to ETH in a long-term growth cycle.

Tom Lee’s statements have sparked a renewed debate about the risk perception of companies operating with a treasury model in the cryptocurrency market.

United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

OPEN one-week stock price chart.

OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
