Bitmine’s aggressive accumulation of Ethereum isn’t just another headline; 
it’s a signal that a new corporate strategy may be taking shape in the digital 
asset space. At a time when most firms are still cautiously exploring digital 
assets, Bitmine is moving with conviction, building one of the largest ETH 
positions and signaling a shift in how companies may think about balance 
sheets, capital allocation, and long-term positioning. How Ethereum Is 
Becoming More Than A Passive Treasury Asset Bitmine Immersion Technologies, 
Inc. (BMNR) had just become one of the largest Ethereum holders in the 
industry. Even though the company is down $6 billion on the position, it is 
still buying. The co-founder of GlydeGG, Jeremy, has revealed on X that 
Bitmine has invested $17.34 billion in ETH, with 100% allocation, and is 
sitting on an unrealized loss of roughly $6.35 billion. Related Reading:

Outlook Despite that, the company didn&#8217;t sell a single coin and instead added 
another 101,627 ETH last week alone, marking its largest weekly accumulation 
of 2026. According to Jeremy, Bitmine has stated that the company&#8217;s goal is to 
own 5% of all ETH issued, and they are already at 4.12%, which places them 
among the largest holders in the ecosystem. However, 73% of their holding are 
staked, generating an estimated $264 million in annualized revenue. There&#8217;s 
precedent for this kind of strategy. MicroStrategy, now widely known as 
Strategy, made a similar aggressive move with Bitcoin, transforming its 
corporate treasury playbook into a leveraged bet on a single digital asset. 
Furthermore, Bitmine appears to be applying the same logic to ETH, and the 
firm is already down $6 billion and still buying. What ETH’s Lowest Exchange 
Supply Ratio Since 2016 Signals Ethereum is flashing one of its strongest 
structural signals in years. A crypto investor known as Milk Road on X 
highlighted that the ETH Exchange Supply Ratio (ESR) has dropped to 0.122, the 
lowest level since 2016. Related Reading: Ethereum Gains Institutional 
Spotlight – Here’s What The CEO Of Etherealize Has To Say Amid the drop, the 
Ethereum Foundation has been actively selling and recently offloaded 10,000 
ETH for $23.8 million on April 24, and then unstaked another $48.9 million. 
Simultaneously, they have been routing sales Over-the-Counter (OTC), not 
through exchanges. ETH exchange supply has been falling. Despite buyers 
absorbing every offer, the exchange supply ratio hasn&#8217;t moved upward. At the 
same time, the ETH supply is being systematically removed from circulation, 
and roughly 39.2 million ETH, which is about 31.5% of the total supply, is now 
staked. Milk Road noted that more than 3 million ETH are queued for staking 
entry over the next 52 days, indicating that supply is getting locked away 
faster than sellers can move it. The decline in exchange availability and 
rising staking participation show a price that hasn&#8217;t caught on yet. Featured
