BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated that the cryptocurrency market will enter an extremely bullish phase in the next 12 months.

Fundstrat has continuously advised clients to allocate 2% of their portfolios to cryptocurrency assets over the past decade; Tom Lee stated that in the accounts of clients who adopted this advice, cryptocurrency assets currently account for over 85% of their portfolios.

According to PRNewswire, Tom Lee, Chairman of the Bitcoin treasury company Bitmine, stated that during historical cryptocurrency bull market cycles, the ETH/BTC ratio typically rises as Ethereum's usage increases compared to Bitcoin, such as during the NFT boom of 2020-2021 and the stablecoins of 2025, both of which have been significant catalysts for the growth of Ethereum applications. In the next cycle, Wall Street's tokenization of assets and deployment on the blockchain, along with the use of Agentic AI on the blockchain, may further drive the ETH/BTC ratio higher.Since the third quarter of 2026, ETH has been the best-performing macro asset, outperforming the S&P 500 index by 5430 basis points as of last Friday; the three best-performing asset classes since June 30 have been ETH, BTC, and SOL, with cryptocurrency assets showing significant outperformance compared to other macro assets so far in the third quarter, which is expected to further attract institutions to increase their allocation to cryptocurrency assets.Tom Lee added that as we enter the last few months of 2026, the crypto market faces several positive catalysts, including the anticipated vote on the CLARITY Act in mid-September, South Korean investors re-entering the crypto market and shifting from AI stocks to cryptocurrencies, and what he believes will be a bottoming out of the "four-year cycle" in the coming weeks. These factors may pave the way for a large influx of institutional funds in the last few months of 2026.

Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee recently expressed the view that Ethereum (ETH) is more like "digital land" rather than cash. Lee believes that the core value of quality assets lies in their ability to store value, meaning that investors believe they can effectively hold and allocate capital over the long term.Lee pointed out that stocks can become store of value assets because investors expect companies to manage capital effectively when they buy stocks; real estate, on the other hand, has both store of value and cash flow properties, generating income through rentals. Within this framework, he believes Ethereum is closer to the stock market or land, with its long-term value primarily derived from the network itself as underlying infrastructure.Bitmine has been increasing its holdings for 65 consecutive weeks. As of August 30, 2026, its total Ethereum holdings reached 5,901,112, accounting for approximately 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply.
