The company ranks among the largest corporate holders of Ethereum.

Chairman Tom Lee has maintained a positive outlook on Ethereum’s long-term prospects.

Despite a 62% price decline from 2025 highs, the company continues accumulating. Unrealized losses are estimated near $7.5 billion at current prices.

Bitmine has outlined a strategy referred to as “the alchemy of 5%.” The goal is to eventually control 5% of Ethereum’s total supply.

The company continues weekly acquisitions to advance that objective.

Staking Revenue and Broader Treasury Holdings

The company’s staked Ethereum generates estimated annualized revenue of about $202 million.

Bitmine plans to expand staking through its Made in America Validator Network. Once fully deployed, projected annual rewards may exceed $374 million.

Daily staking rewards could surpass $1 million based on current projections. The revenue stream forms part of Bitmine’s broader treasury strategy.

Staking remains central to its Ethereum allocation. Beyond Ethereum, Bitmine’s treasury totals about $10 billion.

Holdings include 193 Bitcoin, a $200 million stake in Beast Industries, and about $595 million in cash.

The company ranks as the largest corporate holder of Ethereum and trails only MicroStrategy in overall crypto treasury size.
