Ethereum has gained nearly 11 % in value over the past week, according to data from CoinMarketCap. BitMine's position has benefited from both strategic acquisition timing and positive price momentum.
In addition to ETH, BitMine holds 192 Bitcoin valued at $24 million and a $113 million stake in Eightco Holdings. The firm also maintains $456 million in cash reserves, enhancing its overall liquidity profile.
BitMine’s acquisition made it the world’s largest public Ethereum holder, ahead of SharpLink Gaming’s $3.85 billion ETH treasury. Overall, it now holds the second‑largest crypto treasury globally, trailing only MicroStrategy’s $80 billion Bitcoin reserve.
Investor sentiment responded positively, with BMNR shares rising over 6 % on Monday to $60.35. The stock has climbed 37 % in the past month, according to Yahoo Finance.
