Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings & Marketable Securities + “Moonshots” total $11.3 billion, including 5.77 million ETH tokens, total cash & marketable securities of $482 million, and other crypto holdings

NORWALK, CT, July 13, 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 $11.3 billion.
As of July 12, 2026 at 5:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,770,038 ETH at $1,820 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 206 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $69 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $482 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.8% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).
“One of the biggest crypto success stories in 2026 is the breakaway success of the Robinhood Chain L2 mainnet on July 1, built on Arbitrum. Already, dollar volumes have exceeded $1 billion, and Robinhood Chain now has more trading volume than any other decentralized exchange (DEX), demonstrating the outstanding utility and product market fit for Ethereum, which is the underlying chain,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
“Robinhood Chain uses ETH as the native gas token. And transaction fees are denominated in ETH and the finality is settled on Ethereum. Robinhood’s 27 million users are paying crypto fees denominated in ETH. In other words, everyday users are starting to see ETH as money,” stated Lee.
On June 26, Bitmine was added to the Russell 1000 Large-cap Index, in conjunction with the annual reconstitution of this index. The Investment Company Institute, or ICI, estimates that passive investment funds and ETFs typically represent 18-20% of the shares of a company.
“Being added to the Russell 1000 is expected to add hundreds and possibly thousands of additional institutional investors as equity owners of Bitmine,” continued Lee.
On June 10, Bitmine closed its offering (the “offering”) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 3,500,000 shares of 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $80.00 per share.
The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $273.8 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses. The Series A Preferred Stock is trading on the NYSE under the symbol BMNP. The dividends for BMNP are scheduled to be paid weekly, subject to the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designations.
On May 11, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman’s Message (link here) for May 2026.
“Over the past week, we acquired 27,801 ETH, increasing our pace from the prior week. We continue to maintain a steady pace of accumulation throughout 2026. We believe we are in the early stages of crypto spring. Bitmine is expected to reach the ‘alchemy of 5%’ sometime in 2026,” stated Lee.
Earlier in 2026, Bitmine 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 July 12, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,917,189 ($9.0 billion at $1,820 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 $284 million on an annualized basis (using 2.70% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.
“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $242 million. And this 4.9 million ETH is 85% of the 5.77 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.70% (annualized),” continued Lee.
Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 843,775 BTC valued at approximately $54 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 $475 million (5-day average, as of July 10, 2026), ranking #215 in the US, behind Southern Company (rank #214) and ahead of Equinix Inc. (rank #216) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).
Bitmine management believes 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.
