NORWALK,
CT, September 21, 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 $17.1 billion.
As
of September 20, 2026 at 9:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,983,940 ETH at $2,688 per ETH (per Coinbase),
212 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $105 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”)
and total cash & marketable securities of $714 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.1 million
ETH).
“We
believe a crypto bull market is underway, having started in late June, driven by a multitude of factors including the rotation from AI
back to crypto, strengthening crypto fundamentals centered around both tokenization and AI and lastly, the ending of the 4-year cycle.
With only little more than a week left in calendar third quarter (3Q26), the outperformance of Ethereum as a macro asset continues to
strengthen. Quarter to date, ETH is outperforming by 6,519bp, dwarfing other macro assets,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee,
Chairman of Bitmine.
“To
us, this massive outperformance of ETH in 3Q26 is viewed as a prelude to a potentially stronger up move in the 4th quarter of 2026. Given
institutions have underweighted crypto in 2026, partially due to the outperformance of AI stocks in early 2026, we expect institutions
to substantially increase their exposure in the final 3 months of 2026. We believe this could add meaningful upside to the gains seen
since June 30th,” continued Lee.
Tom
Lee will also deliver the keynote at Korea Blockchain Week 2026 on September 30 at 11:20 a.m. at Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts in Seoul.
The 25-minute keynote is part of Korea Blockchain Week, one of Asia’s leading blockchain and digital asset conferences. Additional
information is available on the Korea Blockchain Week website.
“Over
the past week, we acquired 27,562 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 its 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 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 September 20, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($13.6 billion at $2,688 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 would be $421 million on an annualized basis (using 2.62% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.
“Annualized
staking revenues are now projected at $357 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 85% of the 5.98 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s
own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.62% (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 $1.2 billion (5-day average, as of September 18, 2026), ranking #100 in the US, behind Eaton Corp (rank #99) and ahead of Ciena Corp
(rank #101) 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
845,080 BTC valued at approximately $75 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.

This
press release contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not purely historical and can generally
be identified by terms such as “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”
“anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “targets,” “goals,” “may,”
“will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “view,” “see,” or similar
expressions, or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. This press release specifically contains forward-looking
statements regarding, among other things: (i) the Company’s goal of acquiring 5% of the total ETH supply (the “Alchemy of
5%” initiative) and statements that the Company is 98% of the way to achieving this goal in 15 months; (ii) the Company’s
digital asset accumulation and treasury strategy, including statements regarding continued weekly ETH acquisitions since the inception
of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025 and the Company’s status as the largest ETH treasury in the world; (iii) the Company’s
staking operations, including projected annualized ETH staking rewards of approximately $421 million at scale (assuming Bitmine’s
ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners using 2.62% 7-day BMNR yield), currently projected annualized staking revenues
of approximately $357 million, the 7-day yield of 2.62% (annualized), and that 85% of Bitmine’s ETH holdings are currently staked;
(iv) MAVAN’s expansion to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure,
and its intended position as a premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors; (v) the belief that a crypto
bull market is underway, having started in late June, driven by the rotation from AI back to crypto, strengthening crypto fundamentals
centered around tokenization and AI, and the ending of the 4-year cycle; (vi) statements regarding ETH’s performance as the best
performing macro asset in Q3 2026 to date, outperforming the S&P 500 by 6,519bp; (vii) the belief that ETH’s outperformance
in Q3 2026 is a prelude to a potentially stronger up move in Q4 2026 and the expectation that institutions will substantially increase
their crypto exposure in the final 3 months of 2026, which could add meaningful upside to the gains seen since June 30th; (viii) management’s
belief that the GENIUS Act and SEC Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the end of the Bretton Woods
system in 1971 and that investments resulting therefrom will prove better than gold; (ix) statements regarding the Company’s investments,
including that its investment in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) provides investors indirect exposure to OpenAI and its $180 million
stake in Beast Industries; and (x) statements regarding the value of the Company’s crypto, cash, marketable securities, and “moonshot”
holdings, including aggregate holdings of $17.1 billion and ETH holdings representing 4.9% of the total ETH supply.
These
forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the extreme volatility
and unpredictability of digital asset prices, including ETH and Bitcoin, and the speculative nature of digital asset investments; the
risk that historical ETH price movements, technical analysis indicators, and relative performance versus other macro assets will not
recur or are not indicative of future performance; the Company’s reliance on third-party pricing sources (including Coinbase) and
reported market values in calculating the value of its crypto, cash, marketable securities, and “moonshot” holdings, and
the risk that such values fluctuate materially after the date and time referenced in this release; changes in market conditions affecting
the trading price and trading volume of the Company’s common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, and the risk that the Company’s
inclusion in the Russell 1000 index does not produce anticipated benefits; the Company’s ability to successfully execute its digital
asset acquisition strategy, continue its record of weekly ETH acquisitions, and achieve its ETH accumulation targets, including the “Alchemy
of 5%” goal; the Company’s ability to finance its business operations, Ethereum treasury operations, and MAVAN expansion;
operational, security, and technological risks associated with the Company’s staking and validation operations, including network
failures, slashing events, cybersecurity breaches, and protocol changes; the risk that actual staking participation, yields, rewards,
and revenues differ materially from the projected amounts described in this release, which are based on a 7-day yield and assume ETH
is fully staked at scale; the accuracy of beliefs regarding the existence, timing, duration, and drivers of a crypto bull market, including
the expected rotation from AI to crypto, the strengthening of crypto fundamentals, and the timing of the 4-year cycle; the risk that
the anticipated stronger up move in Q4 2026 does not occur and that institutions do not increase their crypto exposure as expected; competition
in the digital asset treasury, staking, and mining industries; the Company’s dependence on key personnel, including executive leadership
and advisors; regulatory developments affecting digital assets, blockchain technology, and staking activities in the United States and
globally, including the ultimate enactment, implementation, and interpretation of the GENIUS Act and other pending legislation and regulatory
initiatives; actions by the SEC, CFTC, and other regulatory bodies affecting digital assets and related businesses; risks related to
the Company’s investments in early-stage blockchain opportunities (“moonshot” investments), including the investments
in Eightco Holdings (including the nature and extent of any indirect exposure to OpenAI) and Beast Industries; macroeconomic factors,
including inflation, interest rates, Federal Reserve monetary policy, labor market conditions, war risks, rising yields, and general
economic conditions affecting investor sentiment toward digital assets; the unpredictability of cryptocurrency market cycles and the
accuracy of expectations regarding future crypto cycles; changes to the Ethereum protocol, including staking mechanics, validator requirements,
and reward structures; the performance of third-party service providers, exchanges, custodians, and staking partners; risks related to
the concentration of the Company’s assets in digital currencies, particularly Ethereum; and the other risk factors described in
the Company’s filings with the SEC.
The
forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on information available to management as of the date of this release
