Svmuu News: Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine and co-founder of Fundstrat, stated at the latest BitMine shareholder meeting that Ethereum is at the center of a new wave of financial infrastructure transformation, and 2026 may become the pivotal year for the full-scale emergence of Ethereum.Tom Lee noted that the Ethereum—which reached a historic high in 2021—is expected to surpass its previous peak again in 2026, driven by the tokenization of real-world assets and accelerated adoption by mainstream financial institutions and users.Standard Chartered Bank also views 2026 as the “Year of Ethereum” and forecasts a price of $12,000 for Ethereum. Against this backdrop, Tom Lee emphasized that BitMine’s business model will directly benefit from the rise in Ethereum prices.Based on historical correlations, if the ETH price reaches $12,000, BitMine’s (BMNR) stock price would theoretically correspond to approximately $500. Additionally, BitMine will generate substantial cash flow from Ethereum staking rewards and its ample cash reserves.The company currently holds approximately 4.2 million ETH and has about $1 billion in cash.Under current conditions, this is expected to generate pre-tax revenue of $402 million to $433 million; if the price of ETH rises to $12,000 and the company controls approximately 5% of the Ethereum supply, pre-tax revenue is expected to expand to $2 billion to $2.2 billion.
