BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) said it acquired 7,430 ETH over the past week, lifting its total holdings to 5,777,468 ETH, roughly 4.8% of Ethereum's 120.7 million token supply. The company disclosed the figures in a release Monday alongside total crypto, cash and other investments of $11.5 billion.
Why it matters
The weekly addition is incremental, but the composition of the treasury is the signal. BitMine has staked 4.92 million ETH, about 85% of its holdings, earning native staking yield on the bulk of its position while it continues accumulating. The company is also 96% of the way to its stated "Alchemy of 5%" target after roughly 12 months.
Market impact
BitMine also repurchased 5.5 million shares at an average price of $15.62, signaling management is willing to return capital alongside building the ETH position. With 85% of holdings staked, the float available to the market continues to tighten, and the share buyback adds a second return vector on top of staking rewards. Investors will be watching whether BMNR maintains the buyback cadence if ETH price action turns choppy.
