TL;DR
- Companies hold more than 4% of the total Ethereum supply.
- BitMine owns 3.31 million ETH after increasing its holdings by 25%.
- Corporate reserves of Bitcoin and Solana show slower growth.
Corporate holdings of Ethereum have now surpassed the four percent threshold of its total supply. This level of accumulation exceeds the proportional treasury reserves for both Bitcoin and Solana. Data indicates that seventy distinct entities now control more than six million ETH. BitMine maintains the largest single corporate reserve, holding 3.31 million tokens.
Their acquisition of Ethereum has accelerated throughout October. In contrast, corporate purchasing activity for Bitcoin and Solana has slowed during the same period. For Bitcoin, corporate treasuries hold approximately 3.6 percent of the total supply. Solana corporate reserves account for 2.7 percent of its supply.
Corporate Strategy Shifts Toward Ethereum
The composition of these Ethereum holdings varies. Some entities retain allocations from initial coin offerings conducted years ago. Others represent new purchases executed with corporate capital. BitMine increased its own Ethereum holdings by twenty-five percent in the last month. This aggressive accumulation strategy places the company on a path to control five percent of the entire ETH supply.
The utility of Ethereum reserves differs from the more passive holding strategy common with Bitcoin. Companies like BitMine and SharpLink have announced plans to integrate these assets into decentralized finance protocols. Potential use cases include staking and liquid staking to generate yield. This approach treats the digital asset as a productive holding rather than a static investment.
Meanwhile, the stock market valuation for these treasury companies has stabilized. Most firms now trade at a market price that closely matches the underlying value of their digital asset holdings. This normalization follows a period of heightened speculation earlier in the year. The current trend suggests a maturing sector where corporate digital asset management is becoming an established financial practice.
