Ethereum’s price is drawing market attention as institutional accumulation continues despite downward pressure. In particular, Bitmine Immersion’s large-scale additional purchases have reinforced analysis that corporate demand is betting on long-term upside.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet Bitcoinist on March 6 (local time), Ethereum (ETH) recently reclaimed the $2,100 level but still remains far below its previous all-time high of around $4,900. Despite ongoing price volatility, corporate investors appear to be continuing their accumulation moves.

In a notable example, Bitmine Immersion recently acquired an additional 50,900 ETH, increasing its total holdings to approximately 4.47 million ETH. This represents about 3.7% of the total circulating supply, positioning the company as one of the largest corporate holders within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Bitmine CEO Tom Lee explained that the purchase was based on strategic judgment. He noted that while market uncertainties such as war-related news persist, the market may be entering the final stage of bottom formation. He also projected the possibility of a rebound in both stock and cryptocurrency markets in March.

Market observers suggest that this move reflects positioning for the next bullish cycle rather than a simple short-term investment. With hundreds of millions of dollars in cash on hand, Bitmine reportedly views the price decline not as a risk signal but as a buying opportunity, continuing its accumulation strategy.

From a technical perspective, Ethereum has been attempting a rebound while showing a pattern similar to Bitcoin’s price movement. After recently breaking through part of a resistance level, the short-term bearish scenario has weakened, and the current price is attempting to break above the upper range of the $2,150 level. However, experts caution that the structure remains unstable and that the current movement should be interpreted as a probabilistic scenario rather than a confirmed uptrend.
