Ethereum behemoth Bitmine (BMNR) dropped a bombshell today (the 26th), announcing that over the past week it has aggressively scooped up more than 111,000 ETH at the dip. Its total Ethereum holdings have now soared to a staggering 5.39 million ETH, commanding nearly 4.47% of the global ETH supply. The company not only sits on $12.3 billion in total assets, but has also staked 87% of its ETH through its own platform, projecting annualized passive income as high as $276 million, firmly securing its position as the world's second-largest corporate crypto treasury. (Background: Bitmine selected for Russell 3000 Index, Tom Lee bullish on further promotion to large-cap composite: passive funds will soon auto-buy) (Context: Scooping up as ETH plunged below $2,200! Bitmine snapped up 71,672 coins, holdings break 5.28 million, closing in on 5% of total supply) While the market's gaze remains fixed on MicroStrategy's Bitcoin hoarding strategy, another Wall Street giant is building a vast crypto empire at astonishing speed in the Ethereum (ETH) space. Bitmine Immersion Technologies (ticker: BMNR), which recently successfully upgraded from NYSE American to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), released its latest treasury holdings update today (May 26, 2026), showcasing its astonishing asset scale and ambition to the world. According to the announcement data, as of May 25 Eastern Time, Bitmine's Ethereum holdings have reached a staggering 5,390,404 ETH (valued at approximately $2,134 per Coinbase quote), giving the company sole control of 4.47% of Ethereum's total global supply (approximately 120.7 million coins). Company chairman and renowned Wall Street analyst Tom Lee revealed in the statement that the team viewed the recent pullback of ETH prices below $2,200 as an excellent buying opportunity, and decisively made its move over the past week, aggressively acquiring 111,942 ETH. This aggressive accumulation has brought Bitmine to 89% completion of its famous "Alchemy of 5%" strategic goal — to acquire and hold 5% of the global ETH supply. Tom Lee confidently expects the company to successfully achieve this historic milestone within 2026. Beyond spot Ethereum, Bitmine's current Treasury structure is extremely diversified and substantial. Its total holdings across cryptocurrencies, cash, and startup investments have reached $12.3 billion, regarded as the world's second-largest corporate treasury after MicroStrategy: - Cash reserves: $444 million in ample liquidity. - Bitcoin (BTC): A symbolic holding of 203 coins. - Moonshots investments: Including a $200 million stake in Beast Industries, and a $95 million investment in Eightco Holdings, regarded as one of the few publicly listed companies with indirect exposure to OpenAI. Unlike MicroStrategy's pure "hold" approach to Bitcoin, Bitmine fully leverages Ethereum's PoS (Proof of Stake) mechanism to generate massive cash flow. The company has launched MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network), a high-security Ethereum staking platform designed specifically for institutions. Currently, Bitmine has placed up to 87% of its holdings (approximately 4,712,917 ETH, worth $10.1 billion) into staking. Based on the recent yield of approximately 2.75%, this staked asset is projected to generate up to $276 million in passive income for the company annually. Behind Bitmine's aggressive expansion stands the strong backing of a roster of top-tier institutions, including ARK Invest's Cathie Wood, Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and DCG. Its stock trading is also exceptionally active, with a 5-day average daily trading volume of $572 million, ranking among the top 200 US-listed stocks. Looking ahead, Tom Lee emphasized that he is extremely bullish on the "super cycle" of cryptocurrencies and Ethereum. He believes that as Wall Street accelerates the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) on blockchains, combined with the massive future demand from "Agentic AI" systems for public, neutral blockchain infrastructure, Ethereum's long-term value will see explosive growth.
