The Ethereum-focused treasury company acquired 65,341 ETH during the past week — marking its third straight week of expanded purchases — while pursuing an approach that has generated substantial paper losses yet continues unabated.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc., BMNR
This most recent acquisition, valued at approximately $138 million based on prevailing market rates, elevates Bitmine’s aggregate position to 4,660,903 ETH. With tokens trading near $2,072 each, the treasury’s value exceeds $9 billion.
The organization now commands approximately 3.86% of ETH’s 120.7 million token circulating supply. This percentage continues expanding as Bitmine increases its buying velocity, which historically averaged between 45,000 and 50,000 ETH weekly.
Cash holdings expanded in tandem with cryptocurrency acquisitions, climbing to $1.1 billion. The company additionally maintains 196 Bitcoin, $200 million in Beast Industries investments, plus $95 million in Eightco Holdings positions. Combined crypto, cash, and speculative investment holdings totaled $11.0 billion on March 22.
The equity market took notice. BMNR advanced over 3% following the announcement as Ethereum’s price approached $2,144.
Staking Infrastructure Growing
Beyond accumulation, Bitmine pursues aggressive staking operations. Through March 23, the organization had committed 3,142,643 ETH to staking protocols — approximately 67% of total reserves. This allocation currently produces annualized staking income of $184 million.
Tom Lee stated that Bitmine has deployed more Ethereum in staking than any competing entity worldwide. At full operational capacity, anticipated annual rewards could reach $272 million, calculated using a 2.83% seven-day yield metric. The prevailing Composite Ethereum Staking Rate stands at 2.75%.
The firm is developing its Made in America Validator Network, designated MAVAN, collaborating with three staking service providers in preparation for projected early 2026 launch.
Paper Losses Remain Substantial
This strategy carries considerable financial weight. Notwithstanding the acquisition momentum, Bitmine maintains approximately $7 billion in unrealized losses as ETH valuations have declined throughout recent months, per DropsTab analysis.
Lee maintains conviction in his investment thesis. “Our base case is ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter,'” he stated in Monday’s announcement.
Bitmine holds the distinction of operating the world’s largest Ethereum treasury and ranks second among all global cryptocurrency treasuries, trailing only Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which controls 762,099 Bitcoin purchased for roughly $57.69 billion.
On March 23, Ethereum traded within a range of approximately $2,072 to $2,144.
