The post BitMine proposes a 50B share increase as the stock soars appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, Tom Lee, has urged shareholders to consider a proposal to increase the firm’s total number of shares from 50 million to 50 billion. This change, according to the chairman, may be essential for future stock splits, as Ether’s price has a significant impact on the company’s value.

Meanwhile, apart from this finding, Lee also acknowledged that if ETH reaches an all-time high of $250,000, BitMine would be required to carry out a 100:1 stock split to maintain the share price at $25. With the move in place, the firm’s shares are expected to increase the total number to 43 billion. In…
