Ethereum Foundation’s Weekly ETH Sales Reach 20,000 in New Deal With BitMine

The organization says the deal funds operations without moving the price.

Overview

  • The Ethereum Foundation, which disclosed a 10,000 ETH over-the-counter sale Friday at about $2,292 per coin to BitMine, brought weekly sales to 20,000 ETH.
  • Arkham’s on-chain data showed a 10,000 ETH transfer to wallets tied to BitMine that matches the foundation’s disclosure.
  • The foundation has been reshaping its holdings, including a April 24 swap of about 21,269 aWETH into wstETH through Lido and Mellow to increase liquid-staked exposure.
  • Arkham data indicates the foundation still holds a large treasury with roughly 82,500 ETH plus more than $23 million in USDC and over $9 million in DAI, along with staked assets.
  • Decrypt reports BitMine now holds more than 5 million ETH, with the position carrying a multi‑billion‑dollar unrealized loss after last year’s price drop.
