Bitmine Immersion Technologies Adds 28,086 ETH to Treasury Holdings

Bitmine Immersion Technologies bought another 28,086 Ethereum tokens last week, bringing its holdings to 5.93 million ETH as it approaches its goal of owning 5% of the cryptocurrency’s supply.

The purchase was worth approximately $70 million at the company’s reference price of $2,495 per token. Bitmine did not disclose its acquisition cost.

“Bitmine's track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world,” Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said in a statement. “Bitmine has bought ETH each and every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025."

The acquisition was smaller than the 53,501 ETH purchase announced the previous week. Bitmine has bought Ethereum weekly since launching its treasury strategy in June 2025, according to the company.

According to Lee, Ethereum was the best-performing major asset in the third quarter through last Friday, with gains exceeding those of the S&P 500 stock index by 54.3 percentage points.

“In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, BTC and SOL," he said. "We believe this sets the stage for institutions to add to their crypto holdings given the substantial outperformance of crypto versus other macro assets in calendar Q3 so far."

As of September 7, Bitmine valued its Ethereum at approximately $14.8 billion and its combined holdings at $15.7 billion. The total includes 211 bitcoin, $593 million in cash and marketable securities, a $180 million stake in Beast Industries, and a $91 million stake in Eightco Holdings.

Bitmine says its ETH represents approximately 4.9% of Ethereum’s supply. Its latest release puts the company 97% of the way toward its 5% target, compared with 98% in the previous announcement, despite the additional purchases.

While the company continues to accumulate ETH, it has staked roughly 5.1 million tokens, about 85% of its holdings. According to Lee, annualized staking revenues are now projected at $330 million.

As Bitmine approaches its goal of owning 5% of Ethereum’s supply, it remains unclear whether purchases will continue beyond that target. Lee said in May that the company would slow its buying to avoid reaching the goal too early.

Bitmine’s weekly buying continues as other companies holding digital asset treasuries adjust their holdings and investment strategies going forward in 2026.
