LAS VEGAS, NV, March 2, 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 $9.9 billion.
As of March 1, 2026 at 2:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,473,587 ETH at $1,976 per ETH (NASDAQ: COIN), 195 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $14 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $868 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 3.71% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).
“Bitmine continues to methodically execute our Ethereum treasury strategy as we move our way through the later stages of this ‘mini crypto winter.’ Geopolitical uncertainty has risen in the past few days, as the US has commenced combat operations against Iran, and the impact on financial and digital asset markets will be felt in the coming weeks. We continue to steadily acquire ETH and optimize the yield on our ETH holdings,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
“In the past week, we acquired 50,928 ETH,” continued Lee. “Bitmine has been buying Ethereum, as we view this pullback as attractive, given the strengthening fundamentals. In our view, the price of ETH is not reflective of the high utility of ETH and its role as the future of finance.”
As of March 1, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,040,483 ($6.0 billion at $1,976 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 ETH staking rewards is $253 million annually (using 2.86% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.
“Annualized staking revenues are now $172 million. And this 3.0 million ETH is about 68% of the 4.5 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.83%, while Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.86% (annualized). 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. Bitmine is currently working with 3 staking providers as the Company moves towards unveiling MAVAN in 2026,” continued Lee.
Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which owns 717,722 BTC valued at $47 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 $0.8 billion (5-day average, as of February 27, 2026), ranking #145 in the US, behind Datadog (rank #144) and ahead of Expedia Group (rank #146) 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.
