NORWALK, CT, June 22, 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 $10.7 billion.
As of June 21, 2026 at 3:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,672,956 ETH at $1,733 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 205 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $104 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $601 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.7% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).
“The best years for crypto remain ahead, in our view. Tokenization and the rapid progress in AI are expected to drive exponential demand growth for blockchain and decentralized crypto,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
On June 10, Bitmine closed its offering (the “offering”) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of 3,500,000 shares of 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $80.00 per share.

The Series A Preferred Stock is trading on the NYSE under the symbol BMNP. The dividends for BMNP are scheduled to be paid weekly, subject to the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designations.
On June 11, 2026, Bitmine was named to the Fortune 100 Crypto List (link here). Fortune published this definitive ranking of the most influential companies in blockchain and draws on rigorous data analysis by Inca Digital and a survey of leading crypto experts, according Fortune Magazine.
On May 11, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman’s Message (link here) for May 2026.
“Over the past week, we acquired 52,203 ETH. We continue to maintain a steady pace of accumulation throughout 2026. We believe we are in the early stages of crypto spring. Bitmine is expected to reach the ‘alchemy of 5%’ sometime in 2026,” stated Mr. Lee.
Bitmine recently launched MAVAN (the Made in American 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 June 21, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,718,677 ($8.2 billion at $1,733 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 $268 million on an annualized basis (using 2.73% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.
“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $223 million. And this 4.7 million ETH is over 83% of the 5.67 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.73% (annualized),” continued Lee.
Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 846,842 BTC valued at $54 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.
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 $717 million (4-day average, as of June 18, 2026), ranking #219 in the US, behind Entegris Inc (rank #218) and ahead of Target Corp (rank #220) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).
Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) 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.
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared the following seven weekly cash dividends on the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which are expected be paid on the respective payment dates below, to holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the respective record dates provided in the following table:
