As Ether prices bounced back, BitMine’s actions added to the bullish sentiment around Ether-based crypto treasuries. With Ether prices reaching a five-day high of $3,060, BitMine’s purchases seem to align with the ongoing market recovery.
Bitcoin Treasuries Outperformed by Altcoin Treasuries
Bitcoin treasuries have struggled compared to their altcoin counterparts this week. The world’s largest Bitcoin treasury, Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR), gained 5.78% in stock price on Tuesday, reaching $188. Despite the modest recovery, Strategy stock is down 37.4% year-to-date, mostly due to losses after the mid-October market reversal.
In contrast, several crypto treasuries focused on altcoins saw higher gains. GD Culture Group (GDC), a TRUMP memecoin treasury, gained 11.4%. Solana treasury HSDT also posted a solid 9.36% rise in stock prices, while Sui Group Holdings (SUIG) saw a 7.7% increase.
These altcoin-focused crypto treasuries outperformed their Bitcoin counterparts, signaling investor preference for diversifying into different crypto assets. While Bitcoin remains a dominant player, altcoin-focused treasuries have seen greater stock market activity.
Crypto treasuries are proving to be pivotal in the recovery of crypto stocks this week. The surge in Ether-based treasuries, coupled with gains in altcoin treasuries, has helped lead the market rebound.
