Insights

Treasury and Markets Analyst

BitMine reports large, concentrated ETH holdings and high market liquidity; this materially changes its treasury scale but also raises concentration and market‑risk dependencies.

BitMine holds crypto + cash + "moonshots" totalling $11.8 billion, including 3,559,879 ETH (reported at $3,120 per ETH), 192 BTC and $607 million in unencumbered cash, and states ownership of 2.9% of the ETH supply. These facts create a clear business mechanism: substantial token ownership converts the company into a large, active market participant, giving its NAV exposure to ETH price moves and liquidity dynamics while supporting trading volume for its listed shares.

Key dependencies and risks are explicit in the release: crypto price sensitivity to balance‑sheet stress among market makers, reliance on ETH technical progress (the "Fusaka" upgrade) and tokenization adoption, and concentration risk from holding a material share of a single token. The Chairman links recent price weakness to market‑maker deleveraging and projects a cycle top 12-36 months away, which underscores exposure to multi‑quarter market cycles. The company also cites high equity trading liquidity and a $1.4 billion (5‑day avg) traded volume metric, which supports marketability but depends on sustained market interest.

Concrete items to watch in the near term include progress toward the stated 5% ETH accumulation goal, confirmation of the $11.8 billion holdings on periodic disclosures, the outcome/timing of the Fusaka upgrade, and any material changes to trading volume or cash availability; monitor these over the next 12-36 months for cycle and treasury‑scale implications.

BitMine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK's Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas "Tom" Lee to support BitMine's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) BitMine Immersion Technologies ("BitMine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network Company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced BitMine crypto + cash + "moonshots" holdings totalling $11.8 billion.

As of November 16th at 7:30pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 3,559,879 ETH at $3,120 per ETH (Bloomberg), 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $37 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and unencumbered cash of $607 million.

"Crypto prices have not recovered since the liquidation event on Oct 10th. And the lingering weakness has the hallmarks of a market maker (or two) suffering from a crippled balance sheet," said Thomas "Tom" Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of BitMine. "When a market maker has a 'hole' on their balance sheet, they are seeking to raise capital and are reducing their liquidity functions in the market. This is the equivalent of QT (quantitative tightening) for crypto and has the effect of dampening prices. In 2022, this QT effect lasted for 6-8 weeks. And this is probably happening today."

BitMine crypto holdings reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which owns 641,692 BTC valued at $61 billion. BitMine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

"But we do not believe crypto prices have peaked for this 'cycle' and this is covered in our November Chairman's message," continued Lee. "We look at five explanations for the crypto price cycle and conclude that two have important explanatory value. Both of these suggest a crypto cycle top likely 12-36 months away. Yes. This is a break from past cycle behavior."

Finally, Ethereum continues to see tailwinds fundamentally from the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, to the continued surge in stablecoins and now the advancement of tokenization of stocks, bonds and real estate on ethereum.

"Tokenization is a major unlock for asset markets as it is more than just fractionalization or 24/7 liquidity. It is the innovation driven by factorization of an asset by time, product or geography. This in turn will provide great market transparency for issuers and investors," states Mr. Lee. This is discussed in this November Chairman's message.

The GENIUS Act and SEC's Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

BitMine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.4 billion (5-day average, as of Nov 14, 2025), ranking #48 in the US, behind AbbVie Inc. (rank #47) and ahead of DoorDash Inc (rank #49) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

"In the aftermath of crypto's largest ever single day deleveraging event on October 10th, crypto trading volumes are still recovering, which also affect crypto equities. The fourth quarter is seasonally strong for crypto and equity price, and historically encourages investors to increase 'open interest' and therefore, associated trading volumes should improve in coming weeks. BitMine continues to attract institutional investor capital as our high liquidity is appealing. The combined trading volume share of BitMine and MSTR is now 88% of all global DAT trading volume. We continue to lead our crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of our stock," said Lee.
