BitMine Expands Its Ethereum Treasury

BitMine said it has acquired more than 1 million ETH since the start of 2026. Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee said the company plans to hold and stake its ETH holdings. Staking means locking crypto to help support a blockchain network and earn rewards.

Lee said BitMine’s ETH accumulation has removed 4.3% of the ETH supply since June 30 last year. He added that the company has decided to slow its weekly buying pace from more than 100,000 ETH per week. According to Lee, the earlier pace could have helped BitMine reach its 5% ETH target by mid-July.

The company’s latest numbers show how fast its Ethereum treasury has grown. BitMine said it remains the world’s number one Ethereum treasury and the second-largest global crypto treasury, behind Strategy Inc.

Most of BitMine’s ETH Is Now Staked

BitMine has also increased its staking activity. The company said it had 4,712,917 ETH staked as of May 10. That represents about $11.1 billion at the reported ETH price of $2,366. Lee said BitMine has staked more ETH than any other entity in the world. He added that the company’s annualized staking revenue is now $319 million. BitMine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day annualized yield of 2.86%.

BitMine recently introduced MAVAN, its Made in America Validator Network, as part of its Ethereum strategy. The platform was initially designed to manage the company’s own ETH staking needs. However, BitMine now plans to make it available to larger market players, including institutions, custodians, and partners working across the Ethereum ecosystem.

BitMine Sees Ethereum Growth From Tokenization and AI

Lee said Ethereum could benefit from two major drivers in the next crypto cycle. He pointed to Wall Street’s move toward tokenization and the rising use of agentic artificial intelligence systems. 

Lee also said Ethereum’s price action may support the idea that a new crypto cycle has started. He said if ETH closes above $2,100 at the end of May, it would mark three straight monthly gains. According to him, that pattern has not happened during a crypto bear market. BitMine also said its stock moved from the NYSE American to the New York Stock Exchange on April 9. The company’s common stock continues to trade under the ticker BMNR.
