It is a clear sign that Ethereum has arrived as a strategic asset in the institutional camp. BitMine now holds over 163,000 ETH \u2013 a treasure worth around 500 million US dollars.  <\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum: why PayPal Founder Peter Thiel is Betting on ETH<\/h2>\n<p>Originally, BitMine was focused on Bitcoin mining. But under CEO Jonathan Bates and the new Chairman of the Board, Tom Lee, the company has completely realigned itself. Instead of data centers and electricity costs: Ethereum as the backbone of a decentralized financial architecture. Lee, known as the co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, describes Ethereum as a central element for the digital future: a protocol with real-world relevance that is increasingly penetrating everyday life through stablecoins, smart contracts and payment applications.   <\/p>\n<p>Thiel seems to share this vision. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WuBlockchain\/status\/1945322789797593368\">And although his investment has been declared passive<\/a> \u2013 without influence on corporate decisions \u2013 it still has a signal effect. The investor, who once invested early in Facebook, Palantir and SpaceX, puts Ethereum on a par with those game-changers that revolutionized entire industries with this investment. <\/p>\n<p>Already heard? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/bitcoin-en\/willy-woo-why-the-crypto-guru-is-selling-his-bitcoins-right-now\/\">Willy Woo: Why the crypto guru is selling his bitcoins right now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The timing of the investment is also remarkable. Just a few days ago, it became known that Thiel is involved in the founding of the new US bank Erebor \u2013 an institution that specifically targets start-ups and crypto companies that are stuck in the financing gap after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. <\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"20572\" data-bid=\"1\" data-placement=\"33872\">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<\/script><h2>BitMine Was Actually Focused on Bitcoin Mining<\/h2>\n<p>Back to BitMine: Together with other heavyweights in the scene such as Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital and Kraken, the company raised 250 million US dollars in the latest financing round. A capital cushion that not only secures its own Ethereum strategy, but also creates scope for new investments. <\/p>\n<p>BitMine is now symbolic of the second stage of evolution of the crypto market. Away from pure mining \u2013 towards building digital vaults with concrete benefits for decentralized finance. The fact that Thiel of all people is supporting this transformation underscores the growing importance of Ethereum as an infrastructure for a new global financial system.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Also interesting:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/current-prices\/crypto-market-explodes-after-the-success-of-crypto-week-in-the-usa\/\">Crypto market explodes after success of Crypto Week in the USA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The message is clear: Those who invest not only in coins today, but also in protocols, platforms and ecosystems, will be playing at the very top in the long term.
