Bitmine’s Ether Holdings Reach 4.6M ETH, About 3.8% of Supply
Summary
Bitmine Immersion Technologies has been rapidly acquiring Ether, recently purchasing 5,000 ETH directly from the Ethereum Foundation. This brings their total holdings to 4.596 million ETH, approximately 3.81% of the total supply, with combined crypto holdings, cash, and investments totaling $11.5 billion. Currently, 66% of Bitmine’s Ether holdings (3,040,515 ETH) are staked, generating an estimated $180 million in annual revenue, with plans to expand through the MAVAN network.

Corporate treasuries collectively control over 5% of the Ether supply, with Bitmine leading recent accumulation efforts.
