BitMine's ETH holdings exceed 163,000

Company's Ethereum treasury strategy to strengthen broader Ethereum ecosystem

LAS VEGAS, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) ("BitMine" or the "Company") today announced holdings of ETH exceeding $500 million. The Company closed on its initial private placement of $250 million on July 9th in furtherance of its asset light treasury strategy. As of July 14th at 7:45am ET, the company's ETH holdings total 163,142 at $3,072.67 per ETH (Bloomberg).

"Since closing on the $250 million private placement, we have surpassed $500 million in Ethereum holdings, which validates our mission to increase our stake in the Ethereum network," said Thomas "Tom" Lee of Fundstrat, the newly appointed Chairman of BitMine's Board of Directors.

"We are pleased that we added significantly to our ETH treasury just 3 days after closing our private placement," said Jonathan Bates, CEO of BitMine. "Clearly Wall Street is getting 'ETH-pilled.'"

The Company previously stated its performance metric goal of increasing ETH held per share through a combination of reinvestment of the Company's cash flows, capital markets activities (including using volatility to lower cost of capital), and staking yield and the value of ETH is impacted by the change in value of ETH.

Thomas Lee further states: "Among Bitcoin treasury companies, we have witnessed the reflexive benefit of acquiring large holdings. Microstrategy (NASDAQ-MSTR), the leader, has accumulated more than 597,000 Bitcoin (per Microstrategy.com website). Such sizable holdings has created a 'sovereign put' for the company, meaning a nation-state views MSTR holdings as attractive if a nation ever wanted to acquire 5% of the Bitcoin network. Similarly, ETH Treasuries, which accumulate 5% of ETH supply, can benefit from a similar 'Wall Street put.' And even Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood, recently said 'tokenization is the greatest capital markets innovation since the central limit order book' showing how Wall Street is converging onto crypto. And Ethereum is the layer 1 blockchain with the greatest share."
