LAS VEGAS, March 9, 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 $10.3 billion.

As of March 8, 2026 at 4:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 4,534,563 ETH at $1,965 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 $1.2 billion. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 3.76% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

"Ethereum prices showed resilience this week, in the face of rising war concerns and surging oil prices. We continue to believe that crypto prices are in the late/final stages of the 'mini-crypto winter' and are tracking the base case outlined by Bitmine's advisor, Tom DeMark of DeMark Analytics (aka Symbolik.com). According to DeMark, ETH prices in 2026 are tracking the path of S&P 500 in the fall of 2011 and fall of 1987 closely," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

"The correlations to these price trajectories is 89% and 93%, for 2011 and 1987, respectively (see charts below). And if these analogs hold, ETH prices bottom between March 8th to March 14th and just below the recent lows of $1,740. Again, consistent with crypto in the final stages of 'mini-crypto winter,'" continued Lee.

"As the adage goes, nobody 'rings the bell at the bottom' and therefore Bitmine's strategy is to now slightly increase its pace of ETH accumulation. In the past week, we acquired 60,976 ETH compared to an average of 45k to 50k weekly recently," stated Lee.

As of March 8, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,040,483 ($6.0 billion at $1,965 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 $259 million annually (using 2.91% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now $174 million. And this 3.0 million ETH is about 67% of the 4.5 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.84%, while Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.91% (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 720,737 BTC valued at $48 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 $1.0 billion (5-day average, as of March 6, 2026), ranking #125 in the US, behind Eaton (rank #124) and ahead of United Airlines (rank #126) 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.
