NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 14, 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 $15.8 billion.

As of September 13, 2026 at 5:30pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,956,378 ETH at $2,513 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 212 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $98 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $549 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.0 million ETH).

"The price ratio of ETH to BTC moved to the highest level since Jan 30th of this year and established a new uptrend, breaking the trendline in place since the COVID-19 highs. In our view, this reflects Ethereum's strengthened position as the settlement rails for Wall Street tokenization and the increased realization that Ethereum may play a critical central role in managing agentic-AI. What is impressive is this strength in the absolute price of ETH and ETH/BTC taking place while global equities remain rangebound due to war risks and rising yields." stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

Tom DeMark, founder of DeMark Analytics and a capital markets advisor to Bitmine is expecting ETH to make a sharp upward move in coming weeks. According to Tom DeMark, "In August, ETH moved sideways without a downside break and the 12-day metric expired, which implies a renewal of the upside move. We believe this further supports the continuation of the prior uptrend. We expect late August's sharp one-day rally was a likely preview of the pending advance."

"As we enter the final month of calendar Q3 2026, ETH is the best performing macro asset during the quarter, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,866bp through last Friday. In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, SOL and BTC," stated Lee. "We believe this sets the stage for institutions to add to their crypto holdings given the substantial outperformance of crypto versus other macro assets in calendar Q3 so far."

"We believe there are multiple positive catalysts as we head into the final months of 2026," stated Lee. "These include the upcoming CLARITY Act vote scheduled in mid-September. Additionally, Korean investors have again started buying crypto and rotating away from AI stocks. The 4-year cycle is bottoming within the next few weeks in our view. And this sets the stage for what we expect to be sizable institutional participation in buying crypto in the final months of 2026, especially given the tailwinds of tokenization and Agentic-AI."

Tom Lee will also deliver the keynote at Korea Blockchain Week 2026 on September 30 at 11:20 a.m. at Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts in Seoul. The 25-minute keynote is part of Korea Blockchain Week, one of Asia's leading blockchain and digital asset conferences. Additional information is available on the Korea Blockchain Week website.

"This ETH/BTC ratio has moved up during crypto bull cycles, driven by increasing use of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin. These prior cycles were fueled by ICOs (2017-2018), NFTs (2020-2021), and stablecoins (2025). In this upcoming crypto cycle, we see the ETH/BTC ratio rising, driven by Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and by agentic-AI using blockchains," continued Lee.

"Over the past week, we acquired 27,180 ETH. Bitmine's track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world. Bitmine has bought ETH each and every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025," stated Lee.

On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman's Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is "ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth."

Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in America VAlidator Network), the institutional-grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN has expanded 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 September 7, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($12.7 billion at $2,513 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 would be $392 million on an annualized basis (using 2.62% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $334 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 85% of the 5.96 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.62% (annualized)," continued Lee.

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 $924 million (4-day average, as of September 11, 2026), ranking #98 in the US, behind Intuit Inc. (rank #97) and ahead of Verizon Communications (rank #99) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine's crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 845,080 BTC valued at approximately $71 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the US action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 55 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.
