Michael Saylor, the

(BTC) advocate and co-founder of Inc. (MSTR), has identified Wall Street strategist Tom Lee as a key player in bringing (ETH) into the mainstream financial sector. Speaking at the BTC in DC conference on September 30, Saylor commended Lee as Ethereum’s “most significant representative,” highlighting his efforts to connect institutional investors with the crypto market, . Lee, who serves as chairman of Technologies Inc. (BMNR), has overseen the company’s rise to become the , currently holding 3.34 million worth $13.2 billion. Saylor pointed out that Lee’s Wall Street background builds confidence in capital movement, blending institutional trust with crypto advancements.

BitMine’s latest acquisition of $113 million in Ethereum—adding 27,316 ETH—demonstrates this institutional momentum. The purchase, executed through Galaxy Digital’s OTC desk, supports

aimed at securing 5% of Ethereum’s total supply. This follows a $29.28 million ETH acquisition earlier in November, raising BitMine’s share to 2.8% of the circulating supply.

Even with strong institutional interest, the market remains volatile. Bitcoin’s price dropped 8% in October, wiping out $18.8 billion from the crypto treasury sector’s market value, while Ethereum declined 13% during the same period. Saylor, however, stays positive, recently increasing Strategy’s STRC preferred stock yield to 10.5% to support further Bitcoin acquisitions, as reported by

. He by the end of 2025, referencing regulatory advancements and the expectation that tokenized real-world assets will reach $2 trillion by 2028.

Lee’s support for Ethereum faces doubt among retail traders, with prediction markets now estimating a 31% probability of ETH reaching $5,000 by 2025, down from 40% in October. Nevertheless, institutional faith remains robust: BitMine’s OTC buying approach minimizes market disruption, and Saylor’s treasury strategy has been adopted by companies like BitMine and Marathon Digital. However, uncertainty around Federal Reserve policy and global tensions present challenges, with Lee cautioning that Bitcoin’s volatility could intensify downturns in traditional markets.

As of November 2, Ethereum was trading at $3,918, a 2.71% decrease over 24 hours, while Strategy’s shares slipped 0.17% in after-hours trading. The balance between institutional buying and broader economic challenges is likely to shape the next stage of cryptocurrency’s integration into the global financial system.
