In the final week of February 2026, Bitmine significantly expanded its Ethereum holdings, adding 50,928 ETH to its balance sheet. This acquisition brings the company's total ETH reserves to 4,473,587 ETH. The move occurred amidst global market volatility, indicating a continued conviction from Chairman Tom Lee in Ethereum's potential at current price levels. With Ethereum trading around $1,976, Bitmine's total ETH treasury is valued at approximately $8.8 billion. A substantial portion, 3,040,483 ETH (about 68% of their holdings), is actively staked, generating an estimated $172 million in annualized staking revenue at a 7-day yield of 2.86%.
This strategic accumulation aligns with Lee's view of a "mini crypto winter" as an opportune period for investment. Bitmine's increased exposure now represents approximately 3.71% of Ethereum's total circulating supply of 120.7 million ETH, moving them closer to their goal of controlling 5% of the total supply. This would position Bitmine as a highly influential corporate entity within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Bitmine's strategy emphasizes transforming its treasury into a yield-generating engine. The company is also preparing to launch the Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN) in early 2026, which is projected to increase annual staking rewards to an estimated $253 million upon full deployment. This initiative aims to further bolster recurring revenue streams.
With its substantial Ethereum holdings, Bitmine has established itself as the largest corporate ETH treasury globally and the second-largest overall crypto treasury, surpassing all but MicroStrategy. As of March 1, 2026, Bitmine's total treasury, encompassing crypto, cash, and strategic investments, is valued at $9.9 billion. The company's stock has seen increased trading activity, with average daily dollar volume reaching $0.8 billion by late February, reflecting strong market interest in its Ethereum-centric strategy. The recent acquisition of 50,928 ETH highlights Bitmine's aggressive approach to scaling its Ethereum position, aiming to become a dominant, yield-driven participant in the network.
