SHENZHEN, China, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- While the global watch market continues to segment, an increasing number of independent watch brands, e-commerce brands, and private label companies are entering the market, driving the growth in demand for customized watches. In this trend, the importance of professional manufacturing partners is becoming prominent. As an OEM/ODM watch manufacturer, VDEAR is relying on its comprehensive one-stop customization service system to provide global clients with end-to-end solutions from design to delivery, helping more brands rapidly bring ideas to market.
The Rise of Global Watch Micro-brands Driving OEM Demand
In the past two years, the trend in the global watch industry is that independent watchmakers and micro-brands are gaining more and more attention from collectors and young consumers.
The global watch market was valued at approximately $69.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $96.8 billion by 2033, which reflects continued demand for both established brands and emerging independent watch brands, according to Grand View Research.
Compared with traditional famous brands that invest heavily in R&D and production, emerging independent micro-brands tend to complete product development and manufacturing through custom watch makers so as to lower the entry barrier and speed up the product launch.
At the same time, consumers are more preferring the personalized design, brand story, and differentiated products of watch brands to traditional Swiss luxury brands. This significant growth of niche brands is expected to continue in 2026, prompting more and more brands to seek customized watch solutions.
It is generally believed within the industry that professional manufacturing capabilities are gradually becoming a crucial component of watch brand competitiveness, and Chinese watch manufacturing industry, with its well-developed supply chain and continuously improved manufacturing levels, is playing a more important role in the global market.
Supporting Products from Concept to Launch with Customized Solutions
As a professional watch company, VDEAR focuses on providing OEM and ODM services to global clients, covering multiple aspects such as product design, structural development, sample making, production and manufacturing, quality inspection, packaging design and brand customization.

In terms of product customization, VDEAR supports personalized design of core components, such as the watch case, dial, crown, strap, buckle, and packaging, to create custom made watches with logos. Whether for corporate gift, fashion brand collaborations, or independent brand collections, VDEAR can achieve the entire process from creative concept to final product delivery.
Empowering Brands and Sharing Industry Development Opportunities
In the past, Chinese watch industry mainly played a manufacturing role in the global supply chain. With step-by-step improvements in technology, quality, and product development capabilities, Chinese watch factories are gradually transforming from simple custom watch manufacturers to solution providers.
As one of the experienced watch manufacturing companies, VDEAR emphasizes on investment in production equipment, process optimization, and quality management system development.

NORWALK, Conn., 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.

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.

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:
