Bitmine chairman Tom Lee said the company is expected to have accumulated 5% of Ether's total supply before the end of the year. Bitmine Immersion Technologies chairman Tom Lee says the crypto treasury company took advantage of a recent Ether price drop under $2,200 to scoop up another 71,672 Ether for its stockpile.
