Bitmine Immersion Technologies Stock Climbs to $21.57 on NYSE Debut and Massive $11.8B Ethereum Treasury |
NEW YORK — Shares of Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. rose Monday to $21.57, up 28 cents or 1.32%, as the Ethereum-heavy treasury company continued to draw investor attention following its recent uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange and aggressive accumulation of digital assets.
The Las Vegas-based firm, which operates under the ticker BMNR, has transformed from a Bitcoin mining operation using advanced immersion cooling technology into what it calls the world's leading Ethereum treasury company. As of its latest disclosure on April 13, Bitmine reported total crypto, cash and "moonshot" holdings of $11.8 billion, including 4.875 million ETH tokens — roughly 4% of Ethereum's total supply.
The company's stock has experienced extreme volatility in recent weeks, swinging on news of its massive ETH purchases, the NYSE move and an expanded $4 billion share repurchase program. Shares climbed as much as 13% on April 9 following the uplisting announcement but have pulled back from earlier 2026 highs near $161 amid broader crypto market fluctuations and concerns over valuation.
Bitmine's strategy centers on what it terms "the alchemy of 5%," an ambitious goal of accumulating up to 5% of Ethereum's circulating supply as its primary treasury reserve asset. Executive Chairman Tom Lee, a prominent crypto commentator, has been vocal in defending the approach, framing market dips as buying opportunities and predicting strong long-term recovery for ETH.
The company has repeatedly updated investors on its growing ETH stack. Recent filings showed holdings climbing from 4.474 million tokens in early March to the current 4.875 million, acquired through disciplined purchases funded in part by its Bitcoin mining and hosting operations. At current Ethereum prices around $2,100-$2,300 per token, the treasury alone represents a multi-billion-dollar position that dwarfs many traditional corporate balance sheets.
