The Ethereum Foundation has completed the sale of 10,000 ether to BitMine, confirming the transaction as part of a structured treasury management strategy. No further details on pricing or timing of execution were disclosed in the announcement.
The Foundation has historically maintained a substantial <a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/eth">ETH</a> reserve to fund protocol development and ecosystem grants. A sale of this size — to a single institutional counterparty — suggests a planned liquidity event rather than open-market selling, which typically carries less price impact. BitMine's acquisition adds to a growing list of corporate entities building direct ETH treasury positions.
