According to public information, a major institutional investor has been building their Ethereum position since November at an approximate cost of $3,150. Based on their holding of 645,000 ETH, the current paper loss has reached $143 million — this unrealized loss also reflects the recent correction of ETH from its high levels.

Interestingly, this investor publicly announced plans to invest an additional $1 billion to continue building their ETH position. Based on this incremental investment pace, their goal is to keep the average acquisition cost of ETH around $3,050 — in other words, they plan to optimize their overall cost by buying on dips.

From a strategic perspective, this approach of phased accumulation and continuously adjusting the average cost is common in institutional investing. Of course, the future trend will still depend on the actual market performance.

Haha, it's just the average cost method, but looking at the 143 million floating loss, it seems so hardcore. How strong must the heart be? --- Continuing to pour 1 billion? This guy really dares to do it. Just see how low it can go. --- This approach of buying on dips has been heard a thousand times, but the key is that the bottom really has to come. --- Institutions love this method; anyway, they're not losing their own money, haha. --- $3050? Feels like it can go even lower. If it were me, I'd wait a bit longer. --- This move is really something; ordinary players can't learn it, just watch the excitement. --- Facing a paper loss of 143 million and still daring to continue investing—truly a big player style. --- The strategy sounds good, but what if you're trapped later? How to say. --- Gradually building positions is indeed rational, but the market might not buy it. --- Is this betting on ETH rebound, or do they really not understand the market outlook?

1.43 billion floating loss still dares to continue investing 1 billion, this mentality is unmatched, I can't learn it --- The institution's move is basically betting that the decline will continue, is 3050 the bottom? I feel like it hasn't reached yet --- Dipping to buy on the lows sounds noble, but it's actually just being trapped and adding positions, it's just a game --- Really? Is this institution not afraid to keep throwing money in? 1 billion --- Average cost 3050... How is this guy so confident about ETH's price trend --- This is the difference between institutions and retail investors. They can stay calm and build positions even after losing 140 million --- Why do I feel like this is paving the way for others to follow?

143 million USD unrealized loss still daring to invest another 1 billion, this is the kind of vision a big player should have. This move by the institution is basically betting that the price will continue to fall, which is comfortable. Average cost is brought down to 3050, sounds pretty good, but who knows if it will break further? Is it true? Such a bold move, either very optimistic about the future market or forced to add positions to average down. Buying on dips sounds easy, but in reality, it still depends on the market’s mood.

This guy is really ruthless. He didn't flinch at a floating loss of $143 million, and still dares to continue investing 1 billion. I'm stunned.
