BitMine Adds $145 Million in Ether After Disclosing $138 Million Weekly Buy

The buying streak signals a push toward a 5% supply goal with a strategy to turn holdings into staking income.

Overview

  • On-chain analysts tracked about 67,111 ETH moving from Kraken to BitMine-linked wallets, a transfer worth roughly $145 million that reinforces the firm’s rapid accumulation.
  • Following Monday’s company update, BitMine said it bought 65,341 ETH for about $138 million, lifting reported holdings above 4.66 million ETH or roughly 3.86% of circulating supply.
  • BitMine says it has staked about 3.14 million ETH to run validators and earn rewards, generating roughly $184 million a year today with plans to scale that income as its MAVAN infrastructure comes online in early 2026.
  • The balance sheet includes about $1.1 billion in cash, while DropsTab estimates put the firm’s unrealized losses on its ETH position near $7 billion after recent price declines.
  • Chairman Tom Lee says the market slump is in its final phase and points to expected U.S. crypto rulemaking under the CLARITY Act as a potential tailwind, a stance that has seen BMNR shares rise about 3% on the latest disclosure.
