Overview
- BitMine added 86,400 ETH on January 10, bringing its staked total to 1,080,512 ETH worth about $3.3 billion, according to on‑chain trackers.
- The company now holds roughly 4.17 million ETH, or about 3.45% of circulating supply, after a slower weekly buy of 24,266 ETH worth $75.6 million.
- Ethereum’s Beacon Chain entry queue has swelled to about 1.76 million ETH with waits exceeding 30 days, while the exit queue has fallen to zero.
- BitMine plans to launch its Made‑in‑America Validator Network in early 2026 and projects about $374 million in annual staking income at full deployment (company estimate).
- A January 15 vote in Las Vegas requires 50.1% of outstanding shares to approve increasing authorized shares, and the company says ETH accumulation would slow without it.
