BitMine’s $300M Stock Sale to Boost Ethereum Treasury
- BitMine aims to raise $300 million by selling up to three million preferred shares.
- The shares will have a $100 stated amount and offer a 9.50% annual dividend.
- Ethereum staking is BitMine’s main revenue source, with projected annualized staking revenue of about $276 million.
- BitMine holds approximately 5,416,901 ETH, accounting for about 4.48% of Ethereum’s supply.
- Tom Lee views Ethereum as a key hedge and supports the stock sale strategy.
