Japanese company Metaplanet did not purchase Bitcoin last week, continuing a three-week streak of no acquisitions. Additionally, three other companies made Bitcoin purchases last week. Japanese food brand DayDayCook announced investments on January 28 and January 29, totaling $17.63 million, buying 100 Bitcoins at $88,130 each and another 100 at $88,170 each, increasing its total holdings to 1,783 Bitcoins.

BitMine announced today that its total assets, including cryptocurrencies, cash, and potential project investments, have reached $10.7 billion. According to BlockBeats, the company increased its holdings by 41,788 ETH over the past week. As of February 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, BitMine's crypto assets include 4,285,125 ETH and 193 BTC, alongside a $200 million equity investment in Beast Industries and a $20 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS), categorized as a 'potential project,' as well as $586 million in cash. Thomas 'Tom' Lee, Executive Chairman of BitMine, noted that the price of ETH has significantly dropped from approximately $3,000 to around $2,300 over the past month. Despite this, Ethereum's daily transaction volume has reached a record high of 2.5 million, and daily active addresses have surged to a peak of 1 million in 2026. Lee highlighted that while Ethereum's on-chain activity and fundamentals have strengthened considerably in recent months, the price of ETH has declined. This contrasts with the crypto winters of 2021-2022 and 2018-2019, where Ethereum transaction activity and active wallet numbers decreased. Lee suggests that the current weakness in ETH price is more attributable to non-fundamental factors, primarily the lingering effects of the 'October 10' event, which has delayed the return of leveraged funds to the cryptocurrency market. "In the past week, we acquired 41,788 ETH," Lee continued. "BitMine has been steadily increasing its Ethereum holdings, and given the strengthening fundamentals, we find this pullback quite attractive. In our view, the current ETH price does not reflect its high utility and its value as a core component of the future financial system."

BitMine Chair Tom Lee posted on X that several major institutions have significantly increased their holdings in BMNR. On January 29, Vanguard acquired 1.88 million shares, valued at approximately $51 million. UBS purchased 1.1 million shares, while IMC-Chicago added 1.4 million shares to their portfolios. This surge in institutional investment indicates growing confidence in BMNR's market potential.

On February 2, U.S. Treasury yields experienced a slight increase across most maturities, driven by heightened demand for safe-haven assets following a sharp decline in precious metals. According to Jin10, the nomination of Waller by U.S. President Donald Trump as the new Federal Reserve Chair last week has led the currency markets to speculate that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates three times this year, boosting Treasury prices. Jefferies International's Chief Economist Mohit Kumar commented on Waller's hawkish stance, noting that while Waller has been critical of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet expansion, it is difficult to logically conclude that his hawkish views are the reason for Trump's favor. The market is also weighing potential adjustments Waller might make to the balance sheet, with speculation that he could swiftly initiate a reduction. Guy Stear, Head of Developed Markets Strategy at Amundi, stated that the market anticipates lower short-term rates alongside Federal Reserve control over the balance sheet, which could steepen the yield curve. The concern lies in the possibility that if long-term rates begin to rise during the curve steepening, the Federal Reserve might face pressure to expand the balance sheet.
