According to Mars Finance, Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, the world's largest Ethereum treasury company, stated at Thursday's shareholder meeting that BitMine expects its $13 billion Ethereum holdings to generate over $400 million in annual pre-tax income, most of which comes from staking these holdings. Lee also stated that BitMine "likely saved approximately $400 million" in its Ethereum purchases over the past few months. Despite these cost savings, BitMine's holdings are still showing a paper loss of approximately $2.3 billion since it began buying Ethereum last July. Earlier on Thursday, BitMine disclosed a $200 million investment in Beast Industries, owned by popular YouTuber MrBeast. Lee called this bet "an obviously wise choice," adding, "I think we can easily achieve a leap in return on this investment—10x." Lee added that BitMine also plans to launch a mobile application, although details are currently limited, and will make "leapfrog" investments in the tokenization space.
