BlockBeats news, on May 25, Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine, tweeted that FTSE Russell has released its preliminary list of additions and deletions; BitMine (BMNR) is included on the preliminary list for the Russell 1000 large-cap index, with a market capitalization exceeding the $5.7 billion minimum threshold required for large-cap inclusion.
Tom Lee said that many actively managed funds only buy stocks in the Russell 1000, and typically 20% to 25% of a single stock's market capitalization is held by passive index funds or ETFs.
Based on BitMine's current market capitalization of $10.75 billion, a successful inclusion would bring at least $2.15 billion in buying pressure to BitMine.
