NORWALK, CT, August 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“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 + total cash & marketable securities + “moonshots” holdings totaling $15.6 billion.
As of August 30, 2026 at 3:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,901,112 ETH at $2,511 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 211 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $81 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $541 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).
“As we enter the final month of 3Q26, ETH is the best performing macro asset, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430bp through last Friday. In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, BTC and SOL,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. “We believe this sets the stage for institutions to add to their crypto holdings given the substantial outperformance of crypto versus other macro assets in 3Q so far.”
“We believe there are multiple positive catalysts as we head into the final months of 2026,” stated Lee. “These include the upcoming CLARITY Act vote scheduled in mid-Sept. Additionally, Korean investors have again started buying crypto and rotating away from AI stocks. The 4-year cycle is bottoming within the next few weeks in our view. And this sets the stage for what we expect to be sizable institutional participation in buying crypto in the final months of 2026, especially given the tailwinds of tokenization and Agentic-AI.”
“This ETH/BTC ratio has moved up during crypto bull cycles, driven by increasing use of Ethereum relative to bitcoin. These prior cycles were fueled by ICOs (2017-2018), NFTs (2020-2021), and stablecoins (2025). In this upcoming crypto cycle, we see the ETH/BTC ratio rising, driven by Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and by agentic-AI using blockchains,” continued Lee.
“Over the past week, we acquired 53,501 ETH. Bitmine has bought ETH for each of the past 65 weeks (every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025),” stated Lee.
On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman’s Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is “ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth.”
Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in America VAlidator Network), the institutional-grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine’s own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.
As of August 30, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($12.7 billion at $2,511 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $396 million on an annualized basis (using 2.67% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.
“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $340 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 86% of the 5.90 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.67% (annualized),” continued Lee.
Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.36 billion (5-day average, as of August 29, 2026), ranking #62 in the US, behind Texas Instruments (rank #61) and ahead of UnitedHealth Group (rank #63) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).
Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 840,447 BTC valued at approximately $66 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.
Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the US action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 55 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.
