BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. was one of the foreign stocks that South Korean investors bought the most in 2025, despite the significant decrease in its price per share.
Bloomberg reported that BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. was the second most significant foreign stock purchased by Korean investors after Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google.
The net purchase of BitMine stocks totaled around $1.4 billion, which placed it among the top three U.S. stock indexes and also some well-known tech giants.
Throughout the entire time, buying interest from investors stayed very strong in spite of huge losses. BitMine’s share price has nosedived by approximately 80% since the peak it reached in July, but still, Korean retail investors have been continuously increasing their investments instead of pulling out.

The risk tolerance of the investors has gone even higher. Apart from direct purchase of the stock, opportunities through a T-Rex-launched 2× leveraged ETF attracted many investors. The price of that leveraged product has also fallen around 86% from its highest point in September.
The ongoing influx of investments, even in the face of significant losses, indicates a high-risk, high-conviction investment strategy, rather than a cautious or diversified approach.
The company stands out among global investment giants
The graph illustrates the case of BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. that positioned side by side with the top investment products in the world. Alphabet Inc. was the only one that had higher net buying than BitMine at around $2.0 billion.
BitMine’s net buys surpassed those of major companies such as the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF, and Nvidia, and several bond funds and index-tracking ETFs.
This ranking reveals the significant tilt of South Korean retail investors toward Bitcoin-linked equity exposure during the volatile market conditions and even more so in the downturns.
