BitMine’s 3.6 Million ETH: Institutional Backing and Treasury Leadership Drive $11.8 Billion in Holdings
BMNR Surpasses 3.6 Million ETH—Largest Ethereum Treasury Globally
BitMine Immersion (BMNR) announced its Ethereum holdings have reached 3,559,879 tokens, totaling approximately $11.12 billion at the current ETH price of $3,120. This positions BitMine as the world’s largest Ethereum treasury and the second largest overall crypto treasury, trailing only Strategy Inc. (MSTR) with its significant Bitcoin reserves. Notably, BitMine now controls 2.9% of the entire ETH supply, surpassing the halfway mark toward its ambitious target of 5%—referred to internally as the ‘Alchemy of 5%.’
High Liquidity and Institutional Investors Bolster Confidence
BitMine’s impressive balance sheet extends beyond ETH. Its crypto, cash, and “moonshots” portfolio is valued at $11.8 billion and includes 192 BTC, $607 million in unencumbered cash, and a $37 million stake in Eightco Holdings. BMNR stock also ranks among the top 50 most traded US stocks, boasting a 5-day average daily dollar volume of $1.4 billion, placing it ahead of companies like DoorDash. Institutional support comes from renowned names like ARK’s Cathie Wood, Founders Fund, Pantera, and Bill Miller III, which reinforces investor confidence in the company’s long-term crypto accumulation strategy.

Crypto Cycle: Chairman Sees Peak Beyond 2026 and Innovation Tailwinds
BitMine’s November Chairman’s Message addresses the ongoing four-year crypto price cycle, positing that 2026 is unlikely to mark this cycle’s peak. According to Thomas Lee, two factors—likely involving macro cycles and adoption trends—point to a possible cycle top 12 to 36 months out, a shift from past behavior. Ethereum itself continues to gain momentum, driven by the coming Fusaka upgrade, growing stablecoin adoption, and a boom in asset tokenization on the network.
Market and Regulatory Developments Could Spur Growth
The November message also highlights regulatory developments, comparing the GENIUS Act and SEC’s Project Crypto to transformative moments like the end of the Bretton Woods system. These actions are expected to bring greater transparency and open up new opportunities for both issuers and investors, as Ethereum-based asset tokenization enables new forms of innovation, liquidity, and market efficiency.
BMNR Stock Leads Crypto Equities in Volume and Liquidity
BitMine’s trading volumes make up a significant share of global digital asset trading, combining with Strategy Inc. to represent 88% of total volume in this space. After the major deleveraging event in October, crypto volumes are still recovering, but historical trends suggest stronger fourth quarter activity. The high liquidity and institutional backing could help BitMine continue to raise net asset value per share at a pace outpacing its peers.
| Trading Metric | BMNR | Peer Comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Avg. Daily Volume (5-day) | $1.4 billion | #48 US rank (ahead of DoorDash) |
| Trading Volume Share (Global DAT) | 88% (BMNR + MSTR) | N/A |
