Tom Lee’s ETH Treasury firm Bitmine Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) has recently converted its $20 million investment into Eightco Holdings, to $628 million within a day. This happened as shares of Nasdaq-listed Eightco (NASDAQ: OCTO) surged by a massive 3000% in a single day on Monday, September. The OCTO stock surged all the way to $78 yesterday, while closing the trading sessions at $45.08.

Bitmine Purchased 13.7 Million OCTO Shares

Bitmine Technologies, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, saw its investment in Eightco Holdings (OCTO) surge after acquiring 13.7 million shares at $1.46 per share. Following Monday’s surge, the position is up 3,000%, with the stake’s paper value rising from $20 million to roughly $628 million, assuming shares hold near current levels. This stock rally came as Eightco Holdings announced its Worldcoin Treasury plan a day before.

As of Monday’s closing, OCTO stock is trading at nearly 30 times net asset value (NAV), underscoring the scale of the rally. Market observers note that strategist Tom Lee is backing companies building on Ethereum (ETH), with the goal of strengthening the network’s ecosystem.

Bitmine itself aims to own 5% of ETH, positioning its investments as part of a broader strategy to become a full-scale Ethereum ecosystem play. Company CEO Tom Lee confirmed the development, noting:
