Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. has announced a significant increase in its Ethereum (ETH) holdings, reaching a total of 4.423 million tokens. This milestone represents a substantial investment of approximately $9.6 billion as of February 22, 2026. The company’s strategy focuses on accumulating digital assets for long-term investment, positioning Bitmine as a leader in the crypto treasury space.
As of now, Bitmine possesses 3,040,483 staked ETH, valued at $6.0 billion based on the current price of $1,958 per ETH. This acquisition places Bitmine in possession of 3.66% of the total ETH supply, which is around 120.7 million tokens. The company continues to make strides toward its goal of owning 5% of the ETH supply, achieving over 73% of this target within just seven months.
Bitmine’s portfolio also includes 193 Bitcoin (BTC), a $200 million investment in Beast Industries, and a $17 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS). Additionally, the company holds $691 million in cash, contributing to its robust financial standing.
Strategic Growth Amid Market Conditions
In light of the current market conditions described as a “mini crypto winter,” Chairman of Bitmine, Thomas “Tom” Lee, emphasized the company’s commitment to executing its treasury strategy and acquiring more ETH. “We discussed this operational strategy in our latest Chairman’s message,” Lee stated, highlighting the company’s focus on optimizing yield from its ETH holdings.
Bitmine’s recent acquisitions include adding 51,162 ETH in the past week alone. Lee expressed confidence in the long-term value of Ethereum, citing three fundamental drivers: the efforts of Wall Street in tokenization, the integration of artificial intelligence with smart blockchains, and the growing creator economy’s reliance on blockchain for verification.
As of the latest report, Bitmine’s total staked ETH stands at 3,040,483, with anticipated annual staking revenues projected at $171 million. The company expects that once its MAVAN staking solution, which is set to launch in Q1 2026, is fully operational, it will further enhance its staking capabilities. Lee noted that Bitmine has staked more ETH than any other entity globally, which could yield up to $249 million annually based on current yields.
Leading the Crypto Treasury Space
Bitmine’s holdings currently make it the largest ETH treasury in the world and the second-largest global treasury overall, trailing only Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR). The company is recognized for its high trading liquidity, ranking as the 165th most traded stock in the United States, with an average daily trading volume of approximately $0.7 billion.
Supported by a prestigious group of institutional investors, including ARK’s Cathie Wood, Bill Miller III, and Galaxy Digital, Bitmine’s ambitious strategy aims to reshape its position in the crypto market. Lee compared the impact of emerging cryptocurrency regulations and technologies to significant historical financial events, emphasizing the transformative potential of the ongoing developments in the industry.
