LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE AMERICAN: 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 $14.2 billion.

As of January 4th at 9:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 4,143,502 ETH at $3,196 per ETH (Coinbase), 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $25 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash of $915 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 3.43% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

"We are excited about the prospects for Ethereum in 2026 given the multiple tailwinds of US government support for crypto, Wall Street embracing stablecoins and tokenization, the rising need for authentication and proof of provenance in an increasingly complex AI world and the rising adoption of crypto among younger generations," said Thomas "Tom" Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of Bitmine. "Moreover, the surge in commodity and precious metals in 2025 bodes well for crypto prices in 2026, which tend to follow metal price moves."

"In the final week of 2025, total equity and crypto activity slowed, and yet we acquired 32,977 ETH in the past week," continued Lee. "Our analysis shows that Bitmine has continued to accumulate ETH at an accelerated pace versus other Ethereum DATs. We remain the largest 'fresh money' buyer of ETH in the world."

Bitmine released a special Chairman's message (link) explaining why Bitmine stockholders should vote to support the amendment to increase authorized shares ahead of the upcoming annual stockholder meeting on January 15, 2026 (the "Annual Meeting"). "BitMine needs the increase in authorized shares primarily to allow the company to selectively issue shares for capital market activities, accommodate future share splits (as ETH moves to our long-term targets) and enable us to consider selective acquisitions," said Tom Lee. "Bitmine sole focus remains creating stockholder value, achieving this by accretively acquiring ETH per share, optimizing yield and income on its ETH holdings, and strategically investing the balance sheet on 'moonshots' and leveraging the company's strong community and market position to generate additional returns."

As of January 4, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 659,219 ($2.1 billion at $3,196 per ETH). This is an increase of 250,592 in the past week. This is a fraction of the 4.11 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (composite Ethereum staking rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.81%. Bitmine is currently working with 3 staking providers as the company moves towards unveiling its commercial MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) in 2026. "At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the ETH staking fee is $374 million annual (using 2.81% CESR), or greater than $1 million per day," stated Tom Lee.

"We continue to make progress on our staking solution known as The Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN). This will be the 'best-in-class' solution offering secure staking infrastructure and will be deployed in early calendar 2026," continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which owns 672,497 BTC valued at $61 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $980 million (5-day average, as of January 2, 2026), ranking #44 in the US, behind IBM (rank #43) and ahead of Home Depot (rank #45) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

The GENIUS Act and SEC's 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.
