Bitmine Immersion Technologies disclosed a purchase of 126,971 ETH over the past week, lifting its total Ethereum treasury to 5,543,872 ETH as of June 7, 2026. The acquisition, the company's largest weekly ether buy of the year, pushes Bitmine's holdings to roughly 4.59% of the total ETH supply.
Bitmine reported the updated treasury figures in an SEC-filed exhibit timestamped at 3:00 p.m. ET on June 7, 2026. The company said it held 5,543,872 ETH in total, up from an implied roughly 5.42 million ETH before the weekly purchase.
Bitmine ETH Treasury 5,543,872 ETH Reported by Bitmine in its SEC-filed treasury update for June 7, 2026.The 126,971 ETH acquired during the week represents the firm's biggest single-week ether purchase in 2026. At ETH's current price near $1,689, that tranche alone is worth approximately $214 million.
Latest Weekly Purchase 126,971 ETH The company described this as ETH acquired during the prior week in the same SEC-filed disclosure.Bitmine said its ETH position now equals 4.59% of the 120.7 million ETH in circulation. The company also reported 4,718,677 staked ETH, meaning the vast majority of its treasury is actively generating staking yield.
Tom Lee, Bitmine's founder, stated in the filing that the company acquired the 126,971 ETH over the prior week. The disclosure also noted total crypto, cash, and what the company calls "moonshots" holdings of $9.6 billion, including $247 million in cash.
According to the company's projections, annualized staking revenues could reach $230 million at current scale, though that figure is a forward-looking estimate, not realized revenue.
The sheer size of the holding, nearly one out of every 22 ETH tokens in existence, makes Bitmine one of the largest single-entity holders of Ethereum. That level of concentration creates significant direct exposure to ETH price movements in both directions.
The implied pre-purchase holding of approximately 5.42 million ETH, derived from subtracting the weekly acquisition from the disclosed total, shows that Bitmine has been steadily building this position over time. The latest purchase is an acceleration, not a pivot.
Corporate treasury strategies centered on a single digital asset carry substantial volatility risk. With the Fear & Greed Index sitting at 8, deep in "Extreme Fear" territory, Bitmine's decision to buy during a period of broad market weakness mirrors the approach other corporate treasury accumulators have taken with Bitcoin. Companies like OranjeBTC, which recently grew its BTC treasury to 3,803 tokens, have followed a similar playbook of accumulating during downturns.
With 4,718,677 ETH staked out of the 5.54 million total, Bitmine has committed roughly 85% of its treasury to staking. That ratio suggests the company views staking yield as a core part of its capital allocation thesis, not just a side benefit of holding.
Large corporate treasury disclosures tend to draw attention because they reveal positioning decisions made with real capital. Bitmine's buy came during a week when ETH prices were under pressure, a detail that CoinDesk noted in its coverage describing the move as a dip-buying decision.
The disclosure does not confirm whether Bitmine plans to continue accumulating at this pace. However, the SEC filing referenced a goal of reaching "the alchemy of 5%" of total ETH supply sometime in 2026, a forward-looking statement that signals intent to keep buying.
For investors watching corporate crypto treasury moves alongside developments like recent large USDC treasury transfers and record ETF outflows, Bitmine's filing adds another data point on institutional appetite for digital assets even during periods of extreme market fear.
The formal SEC filing gives the disclosure regulatory weight that informal announcements lack. Investors can verify the figures directly through the public exhibit, which provides a level of transparency unusual among large crypto holders.
