Institutions Pile Into Ethereum as $6,000 Target Looms

Major digital asset firms are stepping up their Ethereum (ETH) exposure as the cryptocurrency rebounds from recent lows. 

BitMine Immersion Technology has grown its Ethereum treasury to over $11 billion, while Bit Digital plans to raise $100 million to expand its ETH reserves. The moves signal rising institutional confidence in the asset amid a broader market recovery.

In a recent press release, Bit Digital, the seventh largest corporate holder of ETH, revealed that it plans to raise $100 million through a public offering of convertible senior notes set to mature in 2030. The company also provided underwriters with a 30-day option to acquire up to an additional $15 million under the same terms. 

“The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. Holders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date,” the press release reads.

According to the firm, the capital raised will be directed primarily toward increasing Ethereum holdings. At the same time, there is also a provision to use the funds for potential acquisitions, investments, and other digital asset opportunities.

Notably, after the announcement, Bit Digital’s stock BTBT appreciated. Google Finance data showed that share prices rose to $3.2, up 8.47% at market close. However, in after-hours trading, BTBT dipped 5%.

Concurrently, BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) announced that it has expanded its Ethereum treasury to 2.65 million coins valued at more than $11 billion at current market prices. On-chain analytics firm Lookonchain identified that the firm purchased 234,846 ETH, worth $963 million, to boost its holdings.

“As we enter the final months of 2025, the two Supercycle investing narratives remain AI and crypto. And both require neutral public blockchains. Naturally, Ethereum remains the premier choice given its high reliability and 100% uptime. These two powerful macro cycles will play out over decades. Since ETH’s price is a discount to the future, this bodes well for the token and is the reason BitMine’s primary treasury asset is ETH,” BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated.

In addition to ETH, BitMine reported holding 192 Bitcoin valued at $21.6 million, a $157 million stake in Eightco Holdings, and $436 million in unencumbered cash, bringing its total crypto and cash assets to $11.6 billion.

Like BTBT, the company’s stock also saw an uptick, although more modestly. BMNR closed at $53.22, representing an increase of 5.39%. Moreover, in after-hours trading, the price slipped 0.49% to $52.96.

Furthermore, following the disclosure, BitMine appears to have continued its ETH accumulation. Today, Lookonchain reported that a wallet likely linked to BitMine received 25,369 ETH, valued at $106.74 million, from FalconX.

These moves align with a surge in corporate ETH treasuries. Data from the Strategic ETH Reserve showed that ETH treasuries have expanded from $2.3 billion in June 2025 to over $21 billion by late September.

Besides these institutional players, the ETH buying trend is persistent across the market. The analytics firm highlighted that another wallet, 0x6F9b, withdrew 4,985 ETH worth around $21 million from OKX.

“Address 0x1fc…FAEd5 has accumulated 21,048 ETH ($88.54 million) since 2025.06.18, with an average withdrawal price of $3,794 and unrealized profits of approximately $8.49 million. This address withdrew another 2,360 ETH from Binance, worth $9.92 million,” an on-chain analyst highlighted.

Meanwhile, the institutional bets come as ETH started to rally again following its drop to below $4,000. However, the altcoin managed to reverse the losses and has continued to rise. At press time, it traded at $4,202, up 2.25% over the past day.

Additionally, market observers predict further upside. An analyst observed that ETH is following a ‘Power-of-3’ pattern. According to him, the accumulation and manipulation phase is over, and now ETH is moving to expansion, a view that other analysts also share.

“$6,000 ETH by November 2025 is highly likely to happen,” he said.

As ETH’s rally continues, bullish market sentiment is strengthening further, bolstered by Q4 optimism, which is generally a positive quarter for the sector. The coming months will tell whether ETH will hit $6,000 or move in the opposite direction.
