JP Morgan and ARK Boost Stakes in BitMine as Institutions Seek Ethereum Exposure

The purchases signal a preference for equity routes into ETH via a company reporting roughly 3.4 million tokens on its balance sheet.

Overview

  • JP Morgan bought 1,974,144 BMNR shares valued at about $102.5 million, according to filings shared by market trackers.
  • ARK Invest added 240,507 BMNR shares across ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF for roughly $9.2 million, bringing its actively managed ETFs to more than 6.8 million shares worth nearly $260 million.
  • BitMine has pivoted to an Ethereum treasury model and reports holding nearly 3.4 million ETH that it stakes for yield.
  • The latest buying occurred as BMNR shares fell about 9.8%, reflecting recent weakness across digital asset treasury stocks.
  • Market observers note a rotation into Ethereum-linked equities, with trackers reporting JP Morgan cut a prior SBET position, while ETH price swings and regulatory uncertainty remain key risks.
