BitMine Immersion Technologies reported an increase in Ethereum holdings. The disclosure covered operations tied to U.S.-listed BMNR stock and global crypto markets. The company said it accumulated assets through direct purchases and capital raises to expand long-term crypto reserves, while preparing for its January 15, 2026 meeting in Las Vegas.

Ethereum Accumulation and Asset Breakdown

BitMine said it now holds 3,967,210 ETH, valued at $3,074 per token using Coinbase pricing data. This amount represents more than 3.2% of Ethereum’s total circulating supply. However, the company stated it added 102,259 ETH during the past week alone.

According to the disclosure, total crypto, cash, and investments reached about $13.3 billion. This figure includes $1.0 billion in cash, 193 Bitcoin, and a $38 million stake in Eightco Holdings, listed on Nasdaq as ORBS. Furthermore, BitMine described these non-core positions as “moonshots.”

Thomas “Tom” Lee, chairman of BitMine and managing partner at Fundstrat, confirmed the figures in the company statement. He attributed recent accumulation to steadier crypto prices following the October 10 market shock.

Market Activity and Treasury Standing

Meanwhile, BitMine said it ranks as the largest Ethereum treasury globally. It also placed second among public crypto treasuries, behind Strategy Inc., which holds 660,624 Bitcoin. However, BitMine emphasized its lead among ETH-focused holders.

According to data cited from Fundstrat and Statista, BMNR ranked as the 41st most traded U.S. stock. Average daily dollar volume reached $1.9 billion over five days ending December 11, 2025. This placed it between Boeing and Sandisk among 5,704 listed companies.
