("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash & marketable securities + "moonshots" holdings totaling $11.6 billion. As of August 9, 2026 at 6:30pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,805,238 ETH at $1,928 per ETH (per Coinbase), 209 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $69 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash & marketable securities of $104 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.8% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH). "We are disappointed that the CLARITY Act will not see a Senate vote before the August recess, but financial markets seem more focused on the recent softer inflation and jobs data.  The odds of a Sept. hike by the Federal Reserve have fallen to 40% from 75% two weeks ago," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.  "We expect easing financial conditions to be a tailwind for crypto." "Since Bitmine pivoted to an Ethereum Treasury strategy on June 30 of last year, sizable outperformance of ETH vs Bitcoin (monthly) has typically been followed by Bitmine's shares outperforming ETH over the following month. In July, ETH outperformed Bitcoin by 1,100bp similar to July 2025, Dec 2025, March 2026 and in those instances, Bitmine's shares saw strong outperformance over ETH in the following two months." continued Lee. "We continue to view Bitmine's common shares as undervalued and the Company repurchased 3 million shares during the past week, bringing total common equity repurchases to over 19 million common shares since the start of July. This buyback remains the largest ever executed by any Ethereum, Bitcoin or crypto DAT (Digital Asset Treasury)," continued Lee. Since July 1, 2026, Bitmine has repurchased 19.1 million shares of common stock under the previously authorized $4 billion share repurchase program.   "Over the past week, we acquired 7,391 ETH. Bitmine has bought ETH every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025 about 14 months ago," stated Lee. On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman's Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is "ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth." Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine's ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform. As of August 9, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($9.8 billion at $1,928 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $294 million on an annualized basis (using 2.63% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee. "Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $257 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 87% of the 5.81 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.63% (annualized)," continued Lee. Bitmine's crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc., which reportedly owns 842,138 BTC valued at approximately $59 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.  Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the US action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold. The Chairman's message can be found here:
