A Bold Bet on Ethereum Value

BitMine shoehorned $20 million into Eightco Holdings (OCTO), buying 13.7 million shares at $1.46 each​.

BitMine (BMNR) stockpiled $20M to buy 13.7M OCTO shares at $1.46, beginning its “Moonshot” campaign. The investment allows Eightco (OCTO) to shift into a Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy.
