Bitmine's Tom Lee says the firm could be considered for the Russell 1000, and its stock may get a boost from active and passive fund managers.

Ether treasury company Bitmine Immersion Technologies has been included in a preliminary list for potential inclusion in the Russell 3000 index, a move that chairman Tom Lee hinted could provide tailwinds for the company’s stock.
