What market signals will be unleashed when the spiritual leader of the cryptocurrency world appears alongside the revolutionary figure in the field of artificial intelligence? At BitMine's shareholder meeting, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman rare shared the stage, revealing the strategic ambitions of this holding giant that far exceed mere 'coin hoarding'.
As one of the largest Ethereum holding institutions in the world, BitMine holds approximately 4.1 million ETH, accounting for 3.4% of the circulating supply. Vitalik's attendance can be seen as recognition of core ecosystem supporters, despite his past concerns about excessive leverage. 🛡️ On the other hand, Sam Altman's appearance is closely related to the Worldcoin he founded: BitMine made early investments in a publicly traded company holding Worldcoin as treasury assets, which has now recorded about a 10-fold return, highlighting its vision in the AI and identity sector. 🤖
The core proposal of the shareholder meeting is to dramatically increase the authorized share capital from 500 million to 50 billion. This typically indicates that the company may undertake stock splits, large-scale financing, or merger activities, aiming to reserve ammunition for future expansion. BitMine is clearly not content with passive asset holding but plans to integrate resources, potentially further expanding in the fields of crypto treasury management and ecosystem investment.
This meeting conveyed a clear message: mainstream capital is deeply engaging in the construction of the intersection between crypto and AI through institutional-level vehicles, shifting its strategy from single asset holding to ecosystem control and revenue diversification. This marks a potential new phase for institutional participation in the market. 🚀
