Additionally, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest bought 212,314 shares across three ETFs on Thursday, expanding crypto exposure as BMNR trades 36.7% lower over the past month.  ### The ETH Holdings BitMine added 40,613 ETH in the past week. As of February 8, BitMine holds 4,325,738 ETH at $2,125 per ETH, representing 3.58% of total ETH supply.  The company also holds 193 **Bitcoin** (CRYPTO: BTC), a $200 million stake in **Beast Industries**, $19 million in **Eightco Holdings** (NASDAQ:ORB), and $595 million cash. Chairman **Tom Lee** blamed non-fundamental factors for ETH weakness. Leverage hasn’t returned after October’s $19 billion market wipeout, and the surge in precious metals acted as a “vortex” sucking risk appetite from crypto. ### BMNR Technical Setup BMNR closed Thursday up 1.4% and is trading 1.5% higher in premarket at $20.05, consolidating near critical support. The stock hovers just above the lower Bollinger Band at $16.15, suggesting oversold conditions. For bulls, BMNR needs to hold above $18-$19 and break decisively above $20. Immediate resistance appears at the middle Bollinger Band around $25, followed by the Supertrend at $25.59. _Image: Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [Coinbase Global, Inc.
