TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Bitmine Immersion Technologies has acquired another 28,086 Ether, bringing its total holdings to 5.93 million ETH and completing 97% of its goal to accumulate 5% of Ether's circulating supply within 15 months.

Bitmine adds $69.5 million in ETH to its treasury. The company purchased the 28,086 ETH last week in a transaction currently valued at about $69.5 million. This latest buy, announced on Tuesday, pushes its holdings to 5.929 million ETH according to corroborating reports, representing 4.9% of Ethereum's 120.7 million circulating supply.

It ranks as the world's largest publicly listed Ether treasury.

The purchase leaves the company approximately 171,000 ETH short of its 5% target. At its current pace of weekly buys since June 2025, the goal could be reached in less than seven weeks.
