Bitmine Seeks 100x Share Increase as ETH Staking Surges Soon

Tom Lee-Backed BMNR Stakes More Than a Quarter of Its Ethereum Treasury Ahead of Shareholder Vote

  • Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) staked an additional 186,560 ETH, raising its staked balance to about 1.53 million ETH (~$5.13 billion).
  • The firm’s total Ethereum holdings are roughly 4.16 million ETH, or about $13.95 billion at current implied prices.
  • More than 25% of Bitmine’s crypto treasury is now deployed for yield through staking.
  • BMNR stock rose as much as 3.6% in pre-market trade while Ethereum’s price climbed above $3,300.
  • Shareholders will vote Thursday on a proposal to raise authorized shares from 500 million to 50 billion, a move tied to plans to accumulate more ETH.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies staked new Ethereum ahead of a shareholder vote this week, according to data from Arkham Intelligence and a post spotted by Lookonchain. On Tuesday the firm added 186,560 ETH to staking, bringing its total staked balance to about 1.53 million ETH, valued at roughly $5.13 billion at current prices.

The company’s total Ethereum holdings stand near 4.16 million ETH, which equals about $13.95 billion using the same price basis. Bitmine also added 24,366 ETH on Monday, a gain of roughly $81.7 million. These moves mean over a quarter of the crypto treasury is now earning yield.

Market moves accompanied the staking activity. BMNR shares rose as much as 3.6% in pre-market trade while Ethereum’s price gained about 6.1% in 24 hours to cross $3,300. Retail sentiment on social platforms shifted toward bullish for Bitmine as message volume and chatter increased.

Shareholders will vote Thursday on a proposal to raise the company’s authorized shares from 500 million to 50 billion. Management says the change is needed to continue accumulating ETH; “We need to pursue this increase now as Bitmine is soon to exhaust its current 500 million authorization,” and “And when that happens, our ETH accumulation will slow.” The proposal requires 50.1% approval and has drawn some concern over potential dilution.

Analysts and investors note the staking uptick signals a likely continuation of ETH purchases and further locking of tokens if the share increase passes.
