Bitmine Immersion Technologies is rapidly becoming one of the biggest institutional holders of Ether. The company now holds 4.8 million ETH, which is worth about $10.2 billion. This brings it close to its ambitious goal of owning 5% of the total supply.
The accumulation comes alongside another milestone of beginning to trade on the New York Stock Exchange from April 9, marking a step up from its previous listing.
Unlike Bitcoin-focused firms, Bitmine is leaning heavily into staking. Validator operations have already deployed around 3.33 million ETH from its treasury, generating an estimated $196 million in annual rewards. That gives the company a steady income stream, which is generally not available in Bitcoin treasuries.
Chairman Tom Lee has pointed out that ETH has outperformed traditional assets like the S&P 500 and gold during recent geopolitical tensions.
Bitmine is accumulating Ether as a part of its full-fledged equity market strategy, which blends crypto exposure with yield generation.
