While the broader crypto market often catches its breath during the final days of the year, BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) is moving at a sprint.
In a recent series, the company has further staked 118,944 ETH valued at approximately $352.16 million, bringing its total staked position to a staggering 461,504 ETH.
With its total staked value now at $1.37 billion, BitMine is aggressively pursuing its “Alchemy of 5%” strategy, a long-term mandate to control a significant portion of the network’s total supply.
The momentum doesn’t stop at the staking contract
On-chain observers have also flagged a newly minted wallet receiving 32,938 ETH valued at $97.8 million from institutional prime broker FalconX.
While the wallet is officially unidentified, the transaction signature matches BitMine’s recent $130 million buying spree, signaling that the world’s premier Ethereum [ETH] treasury isn’t finished accumulating yet.
BitMine’s recent $352 million staking push marks a definitive end to the era of speculative holding.
For institutional giants, the goal in 2025 is no longer just price appreciation, but sovereign yield.
By staking 461,504 ETH, BitMine is turning its treasury into a steady-earning engine, supporting the network while collecting reliable rewards that help stabilize its balance sheet.
Ethereum: The liquidity king of 2025
BitMine’s aggression was backed by hard data.
According to 2025 Artemis data, Ethereum led Net Capital Inflows, posting over $4.2 billion in positive flows.
Competitors like Hyperliquid [HYPE] and Sonic [S] focused on perpetuals, while Solana [SOL] led Active Wallet Addresses. Even so, capital concentration remained strongest on Ethereum.
As rival networks posted negative net flows, Ethereum’s deep liquidity and mainnet–Layer 2 structure stood out. That combination made Ethereum the preferred venue for billion-dollar corporate allocations.
Market dynamics and more
While ETH traded around $2,980 and BitMine stock dipped slightly to $27.15, the firm’s strategy remained unwavering, mirroring Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin [BTC]-centric playbook, but redirecting that conviction toward Ethereum.
This coincided with BitMine adding more than 44,000 ETH to its balance sheet, lifting its total holdings to 4.11 million ETH and pushing its share of the network from 3.37% to 3.41%.
With a massive $13.2 billion balance sheet, $1 billion in cash reserves, and exposure to high-risk upside plays like Eightco Holdings, BitMine is not merely accumulating; it is consolidating influence.
Given its current pace, crossing the 4 million mark in just 5.5 months, BitMine could realistically hit its target by late 2026.
Final Thoughts
- With over 4.11 million ETH already under its control, BitMine is building the first truly corporate-scale Ethereum treasury in crypto history.
- This trajectory puts BitMine in the same league as Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc., but this time the battleground is Ethereum, not Bitcoin.
