According to an announcement released on Monday, Bitmine Immersion Technologies (Ticker: BMNR) purchased 101,627 ETH last week, bringing its total holdings to 4.97 million ETH, which accounts for 4.12% of the total ETH supply. Based on a market price of $2,301 per coin, Bitmine’s ETH position is valued at approximately $11.45 billion, solidifying its position as the world’s largest corporate holder of ETH and the second-largest corporate holder of cryptocurrency, trailing only Strategy (which holds approximately 815,061 BTC, valued at about $61.2 billion). After nine months of continuous accumulation, Bitmine has achieved 82% of its goal to "hold 5% of the total ETH supply." Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated that the company has been purchasing ETH consistently over the past four weeks, with last week’s buying pace marking the highest record since the week of December 15, 2025. He noted that the company’s internal fundamental assessment is that ETH is currently in the "final stages of a mini crypto winter." Tom Lee reiterated that the current crypto winter is "nearing its end," citing that since 2015, every major decline in the cryptocurrency market has typically been accompanied by a drop of at least 20% in the stock market; however, the stock market pullback in 2026 has been limited to around 8%. He further added that Ethereum continues to benefit from "dual tailwinds": first, institutions are accelerating the tokenization of assets on the blockchain; second, the rise of agentic AI systems. These advanced AIs, capable of executing tasks autonomously, rely heavily on neutral, decentralized public ledgers for settlement and operation, and Ethereum is the infrastructure that perfectly fits this need. According to CoinGecko data, ETH stabilized above the $2,300 mark today (21st), reflecting a pullback of over 53% from its all-time high of $4,946 set in August of last year. In addition to its massive ETH holdings, Bitmine’s balance sheet also includes 199 BTC, $200 million worth of shares in Beast Industries, $107 million worth of shares in Eightco (a WLD reserve company), and $1.12 billion in cash. On the other hand, Bitmine has currently staked 3,334,637 ETH, which is expected to generate approximately $212 million in annual staking rewards. Once the entire ETH position is fully staked, the total annual staking return is projected to reach $330 million.
