Tom Lee, chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies and co-founder of Fundstrat, said BlackRock's recent Bitcoin report reinforces the case for Ethereum as the verification layer for AI. Lee made the argument on X, pointing to research suggesting AI systems are developing a form of collective coordination. The report itself doesn't mention Ethereum.
What Lee argued
Lee said AI capabilities are advancing along a steep S-curve, and that recent research suggests AI systems are developing collective coordination. He argued that blockchains and smart contracts keep humans involved in overseeing AI behavior, and extended the same logic to robotics. He called Ethereum the most important base layer, or L1.
What BlackRock's report actually says
BlackRock's report, "Re-Underwriting Bitcoin," examined Bitcoin's more than 50% decline from its October 2025 high. It attributes that drop to capital rotation into AI-themed equity funds. The report frames AI-linked equity funds as competition for capital, but it doesn't mention Ethereum, robotics, or blockchain verification of AI systems.
The financial angle
Bitmine holds about 4.8% of Ethereum's circulating supply, giving Lee a clear financial incentive to link Ethereum to major crypto narratives. This isn't the first time he's tied Ethereum to the AI trade.
Market context
Ethereum trades near $1,908 as of Aug. 19, 2026, according to CoinGecko data.
That's the content. We need to translate that into Thai. We'll keep the HTML structure. We'll also need to create a meta description. The original meta description is not provided, so we'll generate one based on the content. It should be a brief summary in Thai.
We'll also need to ensure we translate naturally, keep proper nouns, and use appropriate Thai terminology for crypto/tech terms. For example, "verification layer" might be "ชั้นการตรวจสอบ" or "เลเยอร์การตรวจสอบ". "Blockchain" is often "บล็อกเชน". "Smart contracts" is "สัญญาอัจฉริยะ". "Base layer" might be "เลเยอร์พื้นฐาน" or "L1". We'll keep L1 as is. "AI" is "AI" or "ปัญญาประดิษฐ์". We'll use "AI" as it's common.
Let's translate paragraph by paragraph.

We need to adjust: "Bitcoin investment" - but the original says "Bitcoin report" actually. Let's check: The original says "BlackRock's recent Bitcoin report" in the lead. In the content, it says "BlackRock's recent Bitcoin report reinforces the case". So we'll use "รายงาน Bitcoin ล่าสุด".
Also, "X" is the platform formerly known as Twitter. We'll keep as "X" or "เอ็กซ์"? Probably keep "X".
We'll also keep "Fundstrat" as is.
