The Nature Conservancy marks 75 years of science-driven conservation globally, with Hong Kong helping advance impact across Asia Pacific

HONG KONG, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nature Conservancy (TNC) marks its 75th anniversary in 2026— over seven decades of working together as One Conservancy to help create a better future with a livable climate, healthy communities and thriving nature. Powered by science and partnerships, TNC has grown to work in more than 80 countries and territories to conserve nature, including through long-standing collaboration in Hong Kong and across Asia Pacific—helping to scale solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss by bringing together science, policy and capital to achieve measurable, long-term impact, for all generations.

Founded in 1951, TNC is widely recognized for its ability to translate science into action–advancing practical conservation across critical ecosystems worldwide and demonstrating how nature-based solutions can be deployed at scale to address climate and biodiversity challenges.

Over the decades, TNC has designed, tested and scaled conservation solutions globally, delivering outcomes that are measurable, replicable and grounded in both scientific rigor and on-the-ground implementation. This ability to move from research to execution enables TNC to support durable, system-level change in partnership with communities, governments and the private sector.

"For 75 years, The Nature Conservancy has demonstrated that lasting impact is built on science, partnership and long-term commitment—and that approach matters more than ever now," said Jennifer Morris, CEO of The Nature Conservancy. "Today, the stakes have never been higher—neither has our ambition. We will harness the power of science, honor the wisdom of indigenous cultures, and support the courage of communities—because this moment is for a future we all share, where people and nature thrive for generations to come."

Asia Pacific: A Region of Urgency and Opportunity

Asia Pacific represents one of the most important regions for global conservation efforts. Home to approximately 4.3 billion people—nearly 60 percent of the world's population—it faces intensifying climate and biodiversity pressures, while also holding significant potential to deliver solutions at scale.

TNC's work across the region combines global scientific expertise with local leadership and partnerships to advance approaches that are practical, effective and adaptable across diverse geographies.

Against this backdrop, TNC is recognizing the 25th anniversary of its Asia Pacific Council (AP Council)—a community that for 25 years has provided leadership, insight and enduring support for conservation across the region, bringing together voices across sectors and helping to open doors, mobilize capital and turn ideas into action.

To mark the occasion, TNC hosted an anniversary dinner in Hong Kong on 15 May 2026, bringing together over 100 guests from government, business, finance and philanthropy to honor the Council's legacy of leadership, partnership and impact.

TNC was honored to welcome Mr Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR Government, who joined Jennifer Morris, AP Council members and partners for the evening. In his remarks, Mr Chan underscored the importance of integrating biodiversity considerations into decision-making and strengthening cross-sector collaboration to address climate risk and biodiversity loss—priorities that align with TNC's work across the region.

The celebration further underscored Hong Kong's role as a convening platform—connecting leaders across sectors to help turn shared ambition into coordinated action across Asia Pacific. As an international financial center, Hong Kong connects stakeholders across finance, business, philanthropy and civil society—helping translate conservation priorities into investable, actionable pathways for nature and climate.

In Hong Kong, this translates into on-the-ground action: TNC's work on nature-based solutions, including coastal resilience initiatives, demonstrates how healthy ecosystems can strengthen urban environments—supporting biodiversity, enhancing climate resilience and creating long-term value for communities.

"Hong Kong's position as an international financial center and connector between sectors and markets can help accelerate nature and climate solutions across Asia Pacific," said Anthony Gao, Executive Director for Hong Kong and Regional Partnerships, The Nature Conservancy. "We will continue to convene expertise, mobilize capital and advance science-based action at scale—delivering measurable outcomes for people and nature"

Bitmine owns more than 4.47% of the total ETH coin supply of 120.7 million

Bitmine is 89% of the way to the 'Alchemy of 5%' in just 11 months

Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains

Bitmine uplisted to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") from the NYSE American effective as of April 9, 2026

Bitmine has 4,712,917 staked ETH, representing $10.1 billion at $2,134 per ETH

MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) is a premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors, with a focus on security, performance, and resilience

Bitmine owns $95 million of Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), now one of the only publicly listed equities in the world to provide investors indirect exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings + "Moonshots" total $12.3 billion, including 5.39 million ETH tokens, total cash of $444 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine leads crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of BMNR stock

Bitmine is the 193rd most traded stock in the US, trading $572 million per day (5-day avg)

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK's Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas "Tom" Lee to support Bitmine's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., May 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 + "moonshots" holdings totaling $12.3 billion.

The Company recently announced its uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") from the NYSE American on April 9, 2026. The Company's common stock continues to trade under the symbol "BMNR."

As of May 25, 2026 at 1:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,390,404 ETH at $2,134 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 203 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $95 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash of $444 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.47% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

On May 11, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman's Message (link here) for May 2026.

"We continue to expect a supercycle ahead for crypto and Ethereum, driven by the dual drivers of Wall Street tokenization and agentic-AI. And thus, we continue to steadily acquire ETH, with Bitmine now owning nearly 5.4 million ETH tokens," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

"Over the past week, we acquired 111,942 ETH. We view the recent pullback of ETH to below $2,200 as an attractive opportunity. Bitmine is expected to reach the 'alchemy of 5%' sometime in 2026," stated 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 May 25, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,712,917 ($10.1 billion at $2,134 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 $276 million annually (using 2.75% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now $276 million. And this 4.7 million ETH is over 87% of the 5.39 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.75% (annualized)," continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 818,869 BTC valued at $64.1 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 $572 million (5-day average, as of May 22, 2026), ranking #193 in the US, behind Trane Technologies (rank #192) and ahead of Delta Airlines (rank #194) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

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.
