NORWALK, CT, September 28, 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 $17.2 billion.
As of September 27, 2026 at 3:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 6,001,302 ETH at $2,698 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 213 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $115 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $672 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.1 million ETH).
“Bitmine’s total ETH holdings now exceed 6 million. This is a tremendous achievement, accumulating this total in under 15 months. We are already seeing the synergies and positive network effects from our accumulating nearly 5% of ETH total supply.” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
“Moreover, we continue to see affirming signs that a crypto bull market is underway, having started in late June. In our view, institutions are still underweight crypto and we expect them to be adding to their exposure in the final months of 2026. With only a little more than a week left in calendar third quarter (3Q26), the outperformance of Ethereum as a macro asset continues to strengthen. For the calendar quarter to date, ETH is outperforming by 6,728bp, dwarfing other macro assets.” stated Lee.
Tom Lee will also deliver the keynote at Korea Blockchain Week 2026 on September 30 at 11:20 a.m. (KST) 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 17,362 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 July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman’s Message (link here) for July 2026, entitled “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 27, 2026, Bitmine’s total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($13.7 billion at $2,698 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 $424 million on an annualized basis (using 2.62% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.
“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $358 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 84% of the 6.00 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 $1.1 billion (5-day average, as of September 25, 2026), ranking #94 in the US, behind Twilio Inc (rank #93) and ahead of Philip Morris International (rank #95) 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.

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 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; competition in the digital asset treasury, staking, and mining industries; the Company’s dependence on key personnel, including executive leadership; 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 management’s expectations regarding institutional participation; 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 and reflect management’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts, projections, views, and beliefs concerning future events and circumstances.
