BitMine Boosts ETH Holdings as BMNR Stock Stalls Globally

BitMine Immersion Technologies reported a renewed accumulation of Ethereum, bringing its on-chain holdings to 5,620,754 ETH as of June 14, 2026. The move brings BitMine closer to its target of owning 5% of Ethereum's circulating supply and underscores the growing competition among public companies pursuing large crypto treasuries.

Key holdings and treasury snapshot

BitMine disclosed a total crypto and investments portfolio valued at roughly $10.4 billion, a mix of digital assets, cash, marketable securities and strategic equity stakes. Highlights from the update include:

• 5,620,754 ETH, representing about 4.66% of Ethereum's current 120.7 million token supply.
• 4,718,677 ETH staked, yielding projected annual staking rewards that underpin recurring revenue expectations.
• 204 BTC.
• Approximately $502 million in cash and marketable securities.
• A $180 million position in Beast Industries and an $88 million stake in Eightco Holdings.

Sizeable staked position and implied yield

BitMine said it has staked 4,718,677 ETH, a position valued at roughly $8.1 billion using a $1,718 per ETH reference. The company claims this makes it the largest corporate Ethereum treasury and the second-largest crypto treasury among public firms. Large staked balances are central to BitMine's business model: staking generates predictable protocol rewards, which management intends to use for shareholder distributions and to support preferred share obligations.

Chairman Thomas Tom Lee said the firm acquired 76,881 ETH during the prior week. Management signaled that the buys continued because they view the recent ETH price weakness as temporary and not reflective of Ethereum's underlying fundamentals, including staking economics and network adoption.

Preferred shares, dividends and financing

BitMine completed the sale of 3,500,000 shares of 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock on June 10, netting about $273.8 million after fees and expenses. The financing aims to diversify the balance sheet while preserving flexibility for additional ETH accumulation and operational needs.

The preferred shares are expected to begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker BMNP on June 16. BitMine declared a weekly cash dividend of $0.2639 per preferred share, payable July 6 to holders of record on June 26. Management says projected annual staking rewards of roughly $219 million provide recurring cash flow to support dividends on the preferred stock.

Public market reaction and liquidity

Public common shares (BMNR) showed muted price reaction after the holdings update. Midday trading tracked BMNR near $16.11, essentially flat and down about 0.03% versus the previous close, with a market capitalization near $7.32 billion at the time of the check. The subdued market response follows several weeks of intense attention on BitMine's Ethereum treasury strategy and its impact on equity valuation.

BitMine also reported strong liquidity metrics: the company said BMNR is among the most actively traded U.S. stocks, with an average daily dollar volume of approximately $550 million over the previous five trading days as of June 12.

What investors should watch next

The market will likely focus on three near-term metrics:

• ETH per share: whether BitMine can continue to increase ETH holdings on a per-share basis as it issues new securities and funds operations.
• Staking rewards and cash flow: continued realization of staking revenue will be critical to meet weekly preferred dividends and to justify the treasury model to investors.
• ETH price and macro factors: downside pressure on ETH could stress BMNR valuations, while appreciation would amplify treasury NAV per share.

BitMine's latest disclosure shows a company leaning into a capital-efficient strategy that mixes staking revenue, cash reserves and preferred-equity financing to grow its crypto treasury. For crypto-focused investors and analysts tracking corporate crypto treasuries, BitMine remains a high-profile example of how public companies can scale exposure to Ethereum and monetize staking operations while managing shareholder distributions.
