Bitmine reported 5,227,037 staked ETH; its $368 million annualized reward projection assumes its ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. reported $15 billion in crypto, cash and marketable securities, and “moonshot” holdings as of October 25, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET.

Its 2026 repurchases totaled 22.9 million common shares at an average price of $17.48, for $399.6 million. Management said it intends to repurchase shares when it believes Bitmine shares are relatively undervalued, subject to market conditions and the existing authorization.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

NORWALK, CT, October 26, 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 billion.
As of October 25, 2026 at 2:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 6,051,933 ETH at $2,356 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 215 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $76 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $514 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.95% of the ETH supply (of 122.2 million ETH).
“Crypto got pulled down by the same ‘risk off’ forces behind the AI sell-off. In contrast to late-2025 and early 2026, crypto pullbacks have been comparatively shallow. ETH has fallen 13% from its recent peak while US semiconductors ($SOXX) is down 20% in that same timeframe. We believe this is further evidence that a crypto bull market is underway,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
“Bitmine executed equity buybacks in the past week, acquiring 2.04 million shares, repurchased at an average price of $22.48. When management believes Bitmine shares are relatively undervalued, the Company intends to accretively repurchase shares, subject to market conditions and under the existing repurchase authorization. Optimizing shareholder value remains our top objective,” continued Lee.
In 2026, Bitmine has repurchased 22.9 million common shares, at an average price of $17.48 or an aggregate amount of $399.6 million. “This is the largest crypto treasury company common equity buyback ever executed, and reflects our commitment to shareholders,” stated Lee.
“We believe Bitmine is positioned to outperform the crypto bull market that we expect to be coming, as the Company has strengthened its competitive position over the past year in the midst of a crypto winter (bear market),” stated Lee.
“Over the past week, we acquired 10,452 ETH. Bitmine’s track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world. Bitmine has bought ETH each and every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025,” stated Lee.
On October 7, Bitmine released its latest Chairman’s message titled “Crypto Bull Underway — This Cycle Likely the Largest.” The presentation is available at the Bitmine website (presentation link).
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 has expanded 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 October 25, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,227,037 ($12.3 billion at $2,356 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (assuming Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward would be $368 million on an annualized basis (using 2.58% 7-day BMNR yield). This compares to annualized staking revenues at $318 million based upon 5.2 million staked ETH (86% of the 6.05 million ETH held by Bitmine),” continued Lee.
Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 848,517 BTC valued at approximately $74 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 U.S. 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.
