NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 5, 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 $17.4 billion.

As of October 4, 2026 at 6:30pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 6,016,414 ETH at $2,726 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 214 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $117 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $643 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.1 million ETH).

"We believe that as crypto enters a cycle we view as a bull market, what is notable is Bitmine's share price outperformance of ETH during the bear market of 2025-2026. In the first 9 months of 2026, ETH declined 10% while BMNR was down by 3%, or outperformance of 731bp," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

"In our view, BMNR's share performance reflects the Company's commitment to optimize shareholder return. And we accomplished this via many actions including executing the largest ever crypto treasury equity buyback, acquiring 21 million shares in 2026 alone," continued Lee.

"The outperformance of ETH by 6,832bp relative to the S&P 500 in 3Q26 is notable considering the substantial macro headwinds that emerged in the quarter including a 'hawkish' Fed, surging oil, rise in global bond yields and general tightening of financial conditions. Quarter to date, ETH is outperforming by 6,832bp, dwarfing other macro assets," stated Lee.

Tom Lee will also deliver the keynote at Token2049 on October 7 at 10:00 a.m. at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The 20-minute keynote is part of Token2049, the world's largest crypto conference. Additional information is available on the Token2049 website.

"Over the past week, we acquired 15,112 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.

Bitmine will release the latest Chairman's Message for October 2026 this week. The title of the Message is "Crypto bull underway — this cycle likely the largest."

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 October 4, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($13.8 billion at $2,726 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 $431 million on an annualized basis (using 2.63% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $363 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 84% of the 6.02 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.63% (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 $827 million (5-day average, as of October 2, 2026), ranking #125 in the US, behind Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (rank #124) and ahead of Schlumberger NV (rank #126) 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 847,666 BTC valued at approximately $78 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.
