News text
Norwalk, Connecticut, October 5, 2026 -- Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE code: BMNR, hereinafter referred to as "Bitmine" or "Company"), a Bitcoin and Ethereum network company focusing on long-term accumulation of cryptoassets, today announced that its total value of cryptocurrency, cash and securities, and "Moonshots" holdings reached US$17.4 billion.
As of 6:30 pm Eastern Time on October 4, 2026, the company's crypto asset positions include: 6,016,414 ETH (quoted at $2,726 per share at Coinbase), 214 bitcoins (BTC),$180 million worth of Beast Industries equity,$117 million worth of Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS)(the "Moonshots" section) and $643 million in cash and marketable securities. Bitmine holds 4.9% of the total ETH supply (122.1 million units).
Management Views and Market Performance
Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, said: "We believe that as the crypto market enters what we view as a bull cycle, it is worth noting that Bitmine's share price outperformed ETH in the bear market of 2025-2026. In the first nine months of 2026, ETH fell by 10%, while BMNR fell by only 3%, achieving an excess return of 731 basis points."
Lee continued: "In our view, BMNR's share price performance reflects the company's commitment to optimizing shareholder returns. We have achieved this through multiple actions, including executing the largest crypto treasury equity repurchase in history, acquiring 21 million shares in 2026 alone."
Regarding performance relative to the S & P 500, Lee emphasized: "Considering the major macro headwinds that emerged this quarter, including the 'hawkish' Federal Reserve, soaring oil prices, rising global bond yields and general tightening of financial conditions, BMNR showed an excess return of 6,832 basis points relative to ETH in the third quarter of 2026, which is particularly significant. As of now, ETH's performance far exceeds other macro assets."
Tom Lee will attend the Token2049 Conference
Tom Lee will also deliver a keynote speech at the Token2049 Conference held at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore on October 7, 2026 at 10:00 am. This 20-minute keynote speech is an important part of Token2049, the world's largest encryption conference.
Continued ETH accumulation and MAVAN pledge network
Lee said: "In the past week, we have acquired 15,112 ETH units. Bitmine's track record of continuing purchasing crypto assets is unmatched by any publicly traded company in the world. Bitmine has been purchasing ETH every week since the launch of the ETH treasury strategy on June 30, 2025."
Bitmine will release its latest "Chairman's Speech" for October 2026 this week, titled "The Crypto Bull Market is in Progress-This Cycle May Be the Largest."
As early as early as the beginning of 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network), an institutional-level pledge platform. Although MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, it has now expanded to serve institutional investors, custodians and ecosystem partners seeking top-level pledge infrastructure. Part of Bitmine's ETH has been pledged on the MAVAN platform.
As of October 4, 2026, Bitmine's total pledged ETH number was 5,067,309 (valued at US$13.8 billion based on US$2,726 per item). Lee said: "Bitmine has pledged more ETH than any other entity in the world. When the scale effect becomes apparent (i.e., after Bitmine's ETH is fully pledged through MAVAN and its pledge partners), the annualized ETH pledge reward is expected to reach US$431 million (based on a 7-day BMNR yield of 2.63%)."
He added: "Annualized pledge revenue is currently expected to be US$363 million. These 5.1 million ETH accounted for 84% of the 6.02 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own pledge business generated an annualized rate of return of 2.63%(based on 7 days of data)."

监管环境与未来展望
Bitmine 管理层认为,《GENIUS 法案》和证券交易委员会(SEC)的“Project Crypto”对 2026 年金融服务的影响,堪比 1971 年 8 月 15 日美国结束布雷顿森林体系并将美元与黄金脱钩的历史性事件。55 年前的这一事件推动了华尔街的现代化,造就了当今的华尔街巨头和金融支付轨道,事实证明这些领域的投资价值高于黄金。
