Overview
- BitMine reported holdings of 4,285,125 ETH, or 3.55% of supply, after buying 41,788 ETH in the past week and pegged total crypto, cash and equity stakes at $10.7 billion.
- The firm said 2,897,459 ETH are now staked, about two‑thirds of its total, producing roughly $188 million in annualized rewards, with full deployment projected to reach $374 million at a 2.81% CESR.
- With ether recently near $2,300, coverage estimates place BitMine’s unrealized losses around $6.0–$6.6 billion, though the position is held on balance sheet rather than through high leverage.
- Analysts caution that unloading more than 4 million ETH could strain market depth and potentially drive a 20–40% price drop, and staking exit queues would slow any large sale.
- BMNR shares fell to new seven‑month lows as reporting flagged execution and dilution risks tied to financing and the planned MAVAN rollout.
