Ethereum price drop threatens Bitmine's $10 billion paper loss

Ethereum (ETH) is trading below $2,100 and has broken key technical levels, including the 200‑day EMA and a bullish trend line. Analysts note that the $1,600 zone is now a crucial support area, with further downside potentially driving the price toward $1,920.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, which holds about 5.28 million ETH (roughly 4.4 % of circulating supply), would see its unrealized loss approach $10 billion if ETH fell to $1,600. The company’s treasury, valued at about $11 billion at current prices, also generates roughly $289 million a year from staking its ETH holdings.

The price action and the large exposure mean Bitmine’s equity sentiment could be pressured, although the firm’s staking revenue provides some cash‑flow offset.
