NORWALK, Conn., April 20, 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 $12.9 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 April 19, 2026 at 4:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,976,485 ETH at $2,301 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 199 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $107 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $1.12 billion. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.12% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).
“We see growing signs that the ‘mini-crypto’ winter is coming to an end. As downside tail risks for the US-Iran war diminish, ETH has risen 41% from its early February lows. And ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by 2,280 basis points since the war started and remains the single best performing asset in the world (beside crude oil prices). 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. In our view, there is a lot of meaning to ETH being the best ‘war-time store of value’ and to ETH being the asset leading since the war started,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
“While many believe the crypto winter may last through the Fall of 2026, our view remains that the crypto winter is much closer to ending. Every major crypto winter since 2015 has coincided with an equity drawdown of at least 20%. In fact, the 2025 crypto drawdown moved in sync with the 20% decline in the S&P 500. But in 2026, the equity decline has been milder at -8%,” continued Mr. Lee.
“Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’ In the past week, we acquired 101,627 ETH, which is the highest pace of buys since the week of December 15, 2025,” 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 April 20, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,334,637 ($7.7 billion at $2,301 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 $330 million annually (using 2.88% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.
“Annualized staking revenues are now $221 million. And this 3.3 million ETH is about 67% of the 4.98 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.76%, while Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.88% (annualized),” continued Lee.
Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 780,897 BTC valued at $58.2 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 $1.2 billion (5-day average, as of April 17, 2026), ranking #80 in the US, behind Uber Technologies (rank #79) and ahead of D-Wave Quantum (rank #81) 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.
