Title:

🚨 Massive $3.8 billion loss but crazy accumulation of ETH! Is this company secretly controlling 5% of the global Ethereum supply?
Another thought-provoking institutional move has emerged in the crypto market.
Focusing on Ethereum asset management as its core business, Bitmine's latest financial report shows that in the quarter ending February 28, 2026, the company recorded a net loss of about $3.8 billion. However, this loss is not due to operational issues but is caused by an unrealized loss of approximately $3.78 billion on digital assets.
In other words:
The paper loss is huge, but the core assets are still being held continuously.
📊 Bitmine's Ethereum holdings
As of April 12:
Holding 4.87 million ETH
Approximately 4.04% of the global Ethereum supply
Average purchase cost around $2,206
More notably, the company publicly states:
Its long-term goal is to control about 5% of the global Ethereum supply.
If this goal is achieved, Bitmine will become one of the largest institutional holders of Ethereum worldwide.
📈 Staking income is becoming a core cash flow
Despite significant paper fluctuations, Bitmine's staking business remains very stable.
Currently:
Staked 3.33 million ETH
About 68% of total holdings
By earning block rewards through staking, the company estimates:
Annualized income can reach approximately $212 million.
This quarter, the company's total revenue is $11.04 million, with about $10 million coming from ETH staking rewards.
This indicates one thing:
Institutions are treating ETH as a “cash flow-generating asset.”
💰 Company asset structure
In addition to Ethereum, Bitmine also holds:
$719 million in cash
198 BTC
Strategic investments in Beast Industries and Eightco Holdings
Overall, the company still maintains strong liquidity reserves.
📊 Market observation
Bitmine’s strategy is actually very clear:
1️⃣ Large-scale accumulation of ETH
2️⃣ Using most assets for staking
3️⃣ Continuously earning cash flow through block rewards
This is a typical “long-term asset + passive income” model.
If the Ethereum ecosystem continues to grow in the future, this layout could bring huge long-term returns.
