Tom Lee's "Love This" Reply to Fake $20,000 Ethereum Target Highlights BitMine's $11.83 Billion ETH Treasury

On December 25, 2025, BitMine Immersion chairman Tom Lee quoted an image circulating online that listed a $20,000 Ethereum target for 2026, responding with just "love this" despite the forecast later being flagged as fake. His reaction drew attention to BitMine's $11.83 billion crypto treasury, which holds 4,066,062 ETH and gains about $4.07 billion in paper value for every $1,000 move in ETH price. If ETH ever reached $20,000, that position alone would be worth roughly $81.32 billion, underscoring why such extreme numbers attract interest even when their origin is dubious.
