/PRNewswire/ — (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“Bitmine” or “Company”), a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company focused on the accumulation of cryptocurrencies for long-term investments, today announced that all cryptocurrency holdings + liquidités + «moonshots» of Bitmine total 14.5 billion dollars.
As of January 19 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the company’s cryptocurrency holdings consist of 4,203,036 ETH at $3,211 per ETH (Coinbase), 193 Bitcoin (BTC), $22 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”), and total cash of $979 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings represent 3.48% of the ETH supply (120.7 million ETH).
Bitmine invested $200 million in Beast Industries on January 15, 2026. This investment is expected to close this week and is currently not counted in moonshots. After the transaction closes, the company will initially record the investment in Beast Industry at cost.
“Since MrBeast and Beast Industries are privately held companies, investors may not realize MrBeast’s considerable reach,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, president of Bitmine. “MrBeast is the most viewed creator in the world and each of his bi-weekly videos garners ~250 million compared to the Super Bowl’s 252 million views. Each of his videos is actually equivalent to almost two Super Bowls per month. Additionally, Mr. Beast’s YouTube content has a usage score of 13.1, far ahead of Disney’s 9.7 and Netflix’s 8.7. In other words, its audience represents 35% of that of all Disney media and 50% of that of Netflix. This huge popularity shows that MrBeast and Beast Industries are the leading content creators of our generation, with unparalleled reach and engagement with GenZ, GenAlpha and Millennials. Beast Industries is the world’s largest and most innovative creator platform and we are strongly aligned on values, vision and long-term impact.”
“Over the past week, we acquired 35268ETH,” continues Mr. Lee. “The ratio between the price of Ethereum and that of Bitcoin, or ETHBTC, has been steadily climbing since mid-October. We believe this reflects investors recognizing that tokenization and other use cases developed by Wall Street are based on Ethereum. To appreciate the scale of Wall Street building on Ethereum, the Ethereum Foundation listed 35 examples of major financial institutions building on Ethereum over the past few months on its website (https://institutions.ethereum.org/).»
Bitmine is also pleased to announce that all 4 proposals were adopted by shareholders on January 15, 2026. Each of the four proposed measures received overwhelming support from shareholders. Proposition 2, to increase the number of authorized shares, was adopted by 81% of the votes, which represents 52.2% of the total number of shares outstanding voting in favor of this increase.
“We consider the fact that 81% of the votes cast were in favor of Proposition 2, increasing the number of authorized shares, to be an indication that Bitmine shareholders understand our ETH accumulation strategy. As we have repeatedly stated, we have not sold shares below net asset value, and we do not intend to do so,” Mr. Lee said.
“We appreciate the engagement and action of the Bitmine shareholder community. There are more than 500,000 individual shareholders and more than 52.2% of all outstanding shares voted “yes.” For me, this is a testament to the commitment and confidence of our shareholders. We will continue to work tirelessly to deliver a positive return to shareholders,” continued Mr. Lee.
Bitmine today published its president’s message for the month of January (lien). This message is Mr. Lee’s presentation at the company’s annual shareholder meeting on January 15, 2026 at the Wynn Encore Las Vegas.
As of January 19, 2026, the total number of ETH staked by Bitmine stands at 1,838,003 ($5.9 billion at $3,211 per ETH). This is an increase of 581,920 over the past week. This is only a fraction of the 4.2 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.81%. Bitmine is currently working with three staking providers, as the company prepares to introduce its commercial network MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) in 2026.
“Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), ETH staking fees are $374 million per year (using a CESR of 2.81%), or over $1 million per day,” Tom Lee said. “We continue to make progress on our staking solution, known as MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network). This will be a best-in-class solution providing secure staking infrastructure, which will be deployed early in calendar year 2026,” continued Mr. Lee.
Bitmine’s cryptocurrency holdings are the No. 1 Ethereum treasury and No. 2 treasury globally, behind Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which holds 672,497 Bitcoins, valued at $61 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.
Bitmine is one of the most traded stocks in the United States today. According to Fundstrat data, the stock recorded an average daily volume of $1.5 billion (5-day average, as of January 9, 2026), placing it 60th in the U.S., behind American Express (59th) and ahead of Accenture (61st) among 5,704 U.S.-listed stocks (statista.com et Fundstrat research).
In 2025, the GENIUS Act and the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission, “SEC”) Crypto project represent a transformation for financial services comparable to that brought about by the American decision 54 years ago, on August 15, 1971, to put an end to the Bretton Woods agreements and the pegging of the dollar to gold. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic WallStreet titans and the financial and payments networks of today. These have proven to be better investments than gold.
