BlackRock and Ethereum

Asset management firm BlackRock increased its stake in BitMine by 166% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The value of the share package reached $246 million.

The investment giant went against the market trend. The price of Ethereum fell by 40% over the month. Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, Geoffrey Kendrick, suggested a further decline to $1400.

BitMine is the second-largest company holding Ethereum on its balance sheet. Amid the crypto market crash, its shares have fallen by 67.97% over the past six months, reaching $19.74. The firm’s unrealized loss from coin purchases amounts to at least $6.6 billion.

Earlier, on February 5, ETHZilla acquired a portfolio of 95 modular home loans for $4.7 million.
