Staking locks tokens to secure proof-of-stake networks and produces yield paid in the native token. The newly staked 86,400 ETH was valued at about $268.7 million at the time of publication.

Nic Puckrin provided a yield estimate tied to the firm’s staked holdings. “BitMine has now staked about $3.3 billion worth of ETH. At the current 2.81% yield, that generates roughly $94.4 million per year in ETH,” he said in a public post (view post).

The company’s share price has weakened since its July 2025 peak of $161 per share and was trading at $30.06 at the time of reporting, per market data. In early January 2026, chairman Tom Lee urged shareholders to approve a proposal to raise the authorized share limit from 50 million to 50 billion, a 1,000x increase, in a call to vote (watch).

Lee said the increase would accommodate future stock splits to keep the price near $25 per share and clarified it does not require issuing the new shares. A visual on splits and share counts was shared publicly (see diagram).
