ETH treasury narrative challenges Bitcoin treasury model

The treasury debate is shifting as some investors compare Bitcoin accumulation with Ethereum-based yield strategies.
The argument is simple: a $BTC treasury mostly waits for price appreciation, while an $ETH treasury may generate staking or ecosystem-linked income.
Tom Lee’s Bitmine reportedly owns 4.8% of all $ETH in existence and is being framed as a major Ethereum treasury vehicle.
That contrasts with the Strategy-style Bitcoin treasury model, where the core asset is held as long-term reserve value.
The bigger question is whether yield-bearing Ethereum treasuries can outperform Bitcoin-only treasuries over the next decade.
