The position equals 4.9% of Ethereum’s 122.0 million token supply. The balance sheet also carries 212 bitcoin, a $180 million stake in Beast Industries, a **$98 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS)**, and $549 million in cash and marketable securities, for a combined $15.8 billion. That ranks Bitmine second among corporate crypto treasuries, behind Strategy Inc., which the company said owns 845,080 BTC worth roughly $71 billion. It remains the largest ether treasury, built through successive [weekly treasury updates](https://coinlaw.io/bitmine-eth-holdings-5-8-million-record-buyback/). > 🧵 > 1/ > BitMine provided its latest holdings update for September 14, 2026 > > $15.8 billion in total crypto + "moonshots": > – 5,956,378 ETH at $2,513 per ETH (per [@coinbase](https://x.com/coinbase?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)) > – 212 Bitcoin (BTC) > – $180 million stake in Beast Industries [@MrBeast](https://x.com/MrBeast?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > – $98 million stake in Eightco Holdings… > > — Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH $BMNP (@BitMNR) [September 14, 2026](https://x.com/BitMNR/status/2099482412862640134?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ## Staking now carries most of the balance sheet Bitmine reported **5,067,309 ETH staked** as of Sept. 7, worth $12.7 billion at the stated price. That is about 80% of the company’s entire $15.8 billion asset base, sitting in one staked position. The company’s own staking operations produced a seven-day annualized yield of **2.62%**, which it translated into projected annual revenue of **$334 million**. Bitmine put the figure at **$392 million** once every token is staked through [MAVAN](https://coinlaw.io/bitmine-mavan-ethereum-staking-platform-launch/) and its staking partners. The distance between the two numbers is the roughly 15% of holdings not yet on the platform. **MAVAN, the Made in America Validator Network**, started as infrastructure for Bitmine’s own treasury and later opened to institutional investors and custodians. ## What the advisor expects? **Tom DeMark**, founder of DeMark Analytics and a capital markets adviser to Bitmine, said in the statement that ether is set up for a sharp move higher, pointing to August trading and the expiration of a 12-day metric. DeMark said: “ We believe this further supports the continuation of the prior uptrend. We expect late August’s sharp one-day rally was a likely preview of the pending advance. Tom DeMarkCapital Markets Advisor – Bitmine Immersion Technologies Lee said the ETH/BTC ratio had reached its highest level since Jan. 30 and that ether outperformed the **S&P 500 by 5,866 basis points** in the third quarter through the prior Friday. Neither statement carried a price target. ## The Bottom Line Bitmine’s disclosure is a mark-to-market snapshot, not a results statement. The **$15.8 billion headline** rests on one ether price recorded on a single afternoon, and the staking revenue number is a projection drawn from a seven-day yield window. Both figures move with the token. Several questions stay open. The company did not say how the week’s purchase was funded, when the unstaked remainder moves onto MAVAN, or what exit timing looks like for a staked position of this size. For anyone already holding [BMNR](https://coinlaw.io/bmnr-bitmine-stock-statistics/), the checkable items are the weekly treasury updates and the underlying filings, where the token count, the price stamp and the staked total each carry their own date.
