That tracking put hike odds near 57% to 62% as of August 4, sliding toward the low 40s by August 7 after a weaker-than-expected July jobs report. A separate derivatives-based estimate put the September hike probability at 56.9% on August 4. None of the ranges checked show a pre-report figure as high as 75% in early August.
Two weeks before Aug. 9As of Aug. 9Bitmine’s stated Fed hike odds75%<40%Independently tracked range75%; trending in the mid-50s to mid-60s through late July~40-43% The CLARITY Act’s status is more straightforward, and worse for the bill’s near-term odds than “no vote before recess” alone suggests. Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed the chamber won’t take it up again until lawmakers return September 14, and prediction markets have marked 2026 passage odds down to roughly 15% to 17%, from above 80% earlier this year. As recently as its July 6 release, Lee tied ether’s relative strength directly to CLARITY Act prediction-market odds rising, calling it“the highest odds in two weeks.”
This week, with those odds falling instead of rising, the release reaches for the Fed number, keeping the tailwind framing intact without addressing why the bill Lee has previously called the more direct catalyst just lost months of momentum.
Beyond the framing, the disclosure itself is straightforward. BitMine’s latest 8-K form details the company’s August 10 holdings update, which follows its August 3 purchase of 10,399 ETH, which expanded its crypto treasury to $11.3 billion. Bitmine has since staked 5,067,309 ETH through MAVAN, its own validator network, worth $9.8 billion at the $1,928-per-ETH price used in the release and representing 87% of total holdings. At a 2.63% seven-day annualized yield, the company says the staked position is generating $257 million a year at the current pace, rising to a projected $294 million.
The buyback moved faster than the ETH purchase did. Bitmine repurchased 3.0 million shares over the week, bringing cumulative repurchases since July 1 to 19.1 million shares against its $4 billion authorization. That continues a recent pattern in which the buyback, not new ETH, has been the larger use of capital, a shift Lee has attributed to management viewing the shares as undervalued rather than to any reduced conviction on ETH itself.

Fourteen months later, the company says it’s reached 96% of that goal. The strategy has weathered at least one steep drawdown along the way; as of early June, Bitmine’s average ETH acquisition cost was estimated near $3,476 per token, more than $1,500 above Monday’s reference price.
