Bitmine Nears 5% Ethereum Ownership Goal Amid Institutional Push
Bitmine Immersion Technologies has amassed a massive $15.6 billion in total crypto and cash holdings, bringing the firm within striking distance of its "Alchemy of 5%" goal. The company now controls 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply, cementing its position as the world’s largest corporate Ethereum treasury.
Chairman Thomas Lee attributed the firm’s performance to Ethereum’s status as a top macro asset in the third quarter of 2026. Beyond simple accumulation, Bitmine is leveraging its MAVAN platform to stake over 5 million of its tokens. With an annualized staking revenue projection of $335 million, the company is positioning itself as a central infrastructure provider for institutional investors. Lee maintains that the upcoming legislative landscape and the rise of agentic-AI will further drive institutional capital into blockchain assets, echoing the modernization of Wall Street following the 1971 shift away from the gold standard.
