The sale of 32 bitcoin for about $2.5 million represented just 0.004% of his firm’s more than 843,700 BTC holdings, and Wall Street analysts largely view the move as economically immaterial. Despite an 11-day, $3.4 billion outflow streak from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, Lee said his firm’s broader strategy is unchanged and that its aggressive accumulation of ether remains on track. Market anxiety surrounding recent institutional shifts and insider moves is merely typical bottom behavior, Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) Tom Lee told CoinDesk.
