NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 3, 2026 /CNW/ -- (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 August 2, 2026 at 4:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,797,813 ETH at $1,880 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 209 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $61 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $173 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.8% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).
"In July, ETH outperformed the Nasdaq 100 by 2,500bp (or 25 percentage points). This is the largest outperformance since July 2025, and we believe it is reflective of the strengthening fundamentals of crypto. Last July (2025), ETH rose from $2,375 to $4,057 by the end of August," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
"Since Bitmine pivoted to an Ethereum Treasury strategy on June 30 of last year, sizable outperformance of ETH vs QQQ (monthly) has typically been followed by Bitmine's shares outperforming ETH over the following month. Hence, Bitmine repurchased 4.5 million shares of common stock in the past week, as Bitmine's management team continues to view Bitmine shares as attractively valued," continued Lee.
"This past week's 4.5 million buyback brings our total common equity repurchases to over 16 million common shares. This buyback remains the largest ever executed by any Ethereum, Bitcoin or crypto DAT (Digital Asset Treasury)," continued Lee. Since July 1, 2026, Bitmine has repurchased 16.1 million shares of common stock under the previously authorized $4 billion share repurchase program.
"Over the past week, we acquired 10,399 ETH. Bitmine has bought ETH 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 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 August 2, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,917,189 ($9.2 billion at $1,880 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 $291 million on an annualized basis (using 2.67% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.
"Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $247 million. And this 4.9 million ETH is 85% of the 5.8 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.67% (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 $57 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 $698 million (5-day average, as of July 31, 2026), ranking #180 in the US, behind Schlumberger NV (rank #179) and ahead of Marsh & Mclennan (rank #181) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).
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 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.
