Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) said it acquired 42,197 ETH over the past week, bringing total holdings to 5,742,237 ETH, equivalent to 4.8% of Ethereum's circulating supply. The company also disclosed 4,879,157 staked ETH within that position, valued at roughly $8.8 billion.
Bitmine's combined crypto, cash, marketable securities, and other investments now stand at $11.1 billion. The treasury has reached 95% of Bitmine's stated 'Alchemy of 5%' target within roughly 12 months of launch.
Why it matters
Bitmine's pace is the structural story. Reaching nearly 5% of ETH's circulating supply in a year places the company ahead of every other public corporate treasury by a wide margin and turns it into a sustained, programmatic buyer on the open market. With the majority of holdings already staked, the position also contributes to ETH's validator set rather than sitting idle.
Market impact
The weekly acquisition is modest in dollar terms relative to the total stack, but the steady cadence signals ongoing accumulation rather than a one-off trade. Investors will watch whether Bitmine can close the remaining gap to 5% of supply and how staking yield on the existing 4.88M ETH positions affects per-share value for BMNR shareholders going forward.
