NORWALK, CT, April 6, 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 $11.4 billion.

Additionally, the company announced that it has been approved for uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from the NYSE American. As a result of the uplisting, the Company’s common stock will cease trading on the NYSE American after market close on April 8, 2026, and will commence trading on the NYSE effective at the opening of trading on April 9, 2026. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “BMNR”.

As of April 5, 2026 at 8:30pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,803,334 ETH at $2,123 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 198 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $92 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $864 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 3.98% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“The Iran war enters its 6th week and this war remains the most important driver of global markets. ETH remains the second best performing asset since the start of the war, with a 6.8% gain and outperforming the S&P 500 by 1,130bp. And ETH beating gold by 1,840bp demonstrates ETH is the wartime store of value. At the moment, this war exerts more influence on risk markets than global central banks,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

“The war has placed downward pressure on global markets, so it is impressive to see ETH as one of the few to rise on an absolute basis. This is a great harbinger, as we expect ETH leadership to strengthen investors and eventually take cash off the sidelines,” continued Lee. “Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains.”

“Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’ In the past week, we acquired 71,252 ETH which is the highest pace of buys since the week of December 22, 2025,” stated Lee.

Bitmine announced the official launch of 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 April 6, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,334,637 ($7.1 billion at $2,123 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 reward is $282 million annually (using 2.78% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now $196 million. And this 3.3 million ETH is about 69% of the 4.8 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.74%, while Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.78% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which owns 762,099 BTC valued at $51 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 $987 million (4-day average, as of April 2, 2026), ranking #96 in the US, behind Schlumberger (rank #95) and ahead of Adobe (rank #97) 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.
