Bitmine Captures 4.7% of Ethereum Supply

Bitmine Captures 4.7% of Ethereum Supply

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitmine Immersion Technologies announced that it has increased its Ethereum treasury to 5.67 million ETH tokens. This figure corresponds to 4.7% of the total circulating supply of ETH, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">With purchases made over the past week, the company’s total <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/eth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Ethereum </a>holdings increased by 52,203 tokens. Based on a price of $1,733 per token, the treasury is currently worth approximately $9.8 billion. This makes Bitmine the world’s largest corporate holder of Ethereum. In terms of total crypto treasury size, the company ranks second behind Strategy Inc., which holds a $54 billion Bitcoin position. Although the gap between the two companies remains wide, Bitmine’s recent accumulation pace suggests that it could gradually narrow the distance.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Including Bitmine’s strategic investments, which it refers to as “moonshots,” including its partnership with Beast Industries, the company’s total crypto assets, cash and securities reached $10.7 billion as of June 21.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">With this figure, Bitmine has reached 94% of its self-defined “alchemy of 5” target. This goal involves holding 5% of Ethereum’s total supply of 120.7 million tokens. The fact that the company is now so close to this target shows that it has continued its accumulation strategy regardless of price fluctuations.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">“We are at the beginning of crypto spring”</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said the company maintained a steady accumulation pace throughout 2026 and added that he believes “we are still at the beginning of crypto spring.”</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Lee said the best period for crypto markets is still ahead and added that rapid advances in tokenization and artificial intelligence are likely to exponentially increase demand for blockchain and decentralized crypto systems.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">ETH traded at $1,763 on Monday, rising 2.26% over the past 24 hours. This level is still about 64% below its all-time high of $4,946.05, recorded in August 2025. The fact that the price remains so far from its peak shows that Bitmine’s accumulation strategy is based on long-term supply targets rather than short-term price movements.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Staking income exceeds $200 million</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitmine said it has currently staked 4,718,677 tokens, or more than 83% of its total Ethereum holdings. According to the company, the staking operations are generating a weekly yield of 2.73%, while annualized staking income currently stands at around $223 million. Once the MAVAN validator infrastructure reaches full capacity, this figure is expected to rise to $268 million.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The company’s transparent disclosure of staking income shows that its Ethereum treasury is not only based on price appreciation, but is also turning into a yield-generating revenue model.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Beyond Ethereum, Bitmine’s portfolio includes 205 Bitcoin, a $180 million stake in Beast Industries, a $104 million stake in Eightco Holdings, and a total of $601 million in cash and securities.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitmine shares closed Friday’s session up 2.8% at $16.14.</p>

MoneyGram Announces Third Blockchain Partnership: Solana

MoneyGram Announces Third Blockchain Partnership: Solana

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Money transfer giant MoneyGram has taken another step forward in its crypto expansion. The company has started operating as a validator on the Solana blockchain and joined the Solana Developer Platform. This means MoneyGram now runs validators on three different networks at the same time.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">MoneyGram Chooses Solana</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Global payments company MoneyGram has officially become a validator on the Solana blockchain and joined the Solana Developer Platform. This marks the company’s third validator operation after Tempo and Midnight Network.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">MoneyGram CEO and Chairman Anthony Soohoo explained the reasoning behind the move in a statement: “Blockchain infrastructure is becoming increasingly important for global payments. We believe institutions that rely on these networks should also contribute to their security and long-term development.”</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Becoming a validator gives MoneyGram the ability to stake SOL, validate transaction blocks and directly contribute to the security of the network. Membership in the Developer Platform also means access to financial product development tools on Solana, alongside institutions such as Mastercard.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">MoneyGram’s blockchain history is not new. The company’s MGUSD stablecoin was built in collaboration with Stripe’s Bridge, Crossmint, Fireblocks, M0 and Stellar. Soohoo recalled that since 2021, the company’s partnership with Stellar has introduced stablecoin cash-in and cash-out points, the MoneyGram Ramps API and in-app stablecoin balances. With its recent partnership with Kraken, MoneyGram has also expanded its off-ramp services.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">“We have been building real-world payment solutions with blockchain and stablecoins for more than five years,” Soohoo said. “We never saw blockchain as an end in itself; we saw it as a tool that makes money transfers faster and simpler.”</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The Ripple experience is also part of this story. MoneyGram signed an agreement with Ripple in 2019 and used RippleNet’s XRP-based On-Demand Liquidity product. According to Ripple, the two companies reached billions of dollars in transaction volume during this period. Ripple also paid MoneyGram millions of dollars in fees as part of its expansion into new markets.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The partnership was suspended in 2021 after the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple. The SEC alleged that the company had conducted a $1.3 billion unregistered securities offering through its XRP sales. The case was finally closed last year. The 2023 ruling that XRP itself is not a security and that sales on public exchanges did not violate the law remained in place, but Ripple’s direct sales to institutional investors were found to have violated the law. Ripple had previously said both companies were open to working together again in the future. When Soohoo was asked about the possibility of a new partnership with Ripple, his answer was brief: “We cannot comment on potential future partnerships at this time.”</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">At the time of writing, <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/sol" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">SOL price</a> is around $74.34.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/solusdt-2026-06-22-16-03-39-2ed28eb1.webp" alt="SOLUSDT_2026-06-22_16-03-39.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p>

Strategy Adds Another 520 BTC to Its Bitcoin Reserve

Strategy Adds Another 520 BTC to Its Bitcoin Reserve

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Bitcoin treasury company Strategy acquired another 520 BTC between June 15 and June 21. According to an 8-K filing submitted to the SEC on Monday, the purchase was made at an average price of $67,068 per BTC and cost a total of $34.9 million.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">With the latest purchase, the company’s total <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin </a>holdings have reached 847,363 BTC. According to co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor, those holdings are currently worth around $54.8 billion. The average cost basis of the position stands at $75,651 per BTC, while the total bill, including fees and expenses, has climbed to $64.1 billion.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The numbers show that Strategy now holds more than 4% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply cap. At current prices, the company’s paper loss is approaching $9.3 billion.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Funding Came From MSTR Share Sales</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The latest purchases were funded with cash raised through at-the-market sales of Strategy’s Class A common stock, MSTR. Last week, Strategy sold 2,714,839 MSTR shares for approximately $335.5 million. As of June 21, the company still had $25.4 billion worth of MSTR shares available for sale under that program.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The company also expanded its ATM programs. It added $21 billion in capacity for MSTR, $21 billion for STRC preferred shares and $2.1 billion for STRK preferred shares.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-06-22-152932-31767ab5.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-06-22 152932.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">On Sunday, Saylor shared Strategy’s Bitcoin purchase chart with the caption, “Looking better with more dots.” The market is familiar with the phrase; it is usually seen as a signal that Strategy will announce the previous week’s Bitcoin purchase on Monday.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">STRC Is Still Trading Below Par</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">STRC, the company’s monthly dividend-paying, floating-rate preferred stock, is designed to trade close to its $100 par value and currently offers an annual yield of 11.5%. Earlier this year, it was Strategy’s main funding source for Bitcoin purchases. However, it has failed to return to par value since mid-May and has not been used to fund Bitcoin purchases over the past month.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Strive CEO Matt Cole described last Thursday, when STRC fell to a record low of $82.53, as “the hardest day in digital credit history.” SATA also dropped as low as $92.88 on the same day. STRC closed the session at $88.59, while SATA ended at $97.71. U.S. markets were closed on Friday due to the Juneteenth holiday.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Cash Reserve Keeps Growing</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Strategy’s dollar reserve is also growing. As of June 21, the reserve balance had risen to $1.4 billion, up from $1.1 billion on June 14. The figure also includes expected cash from shares sold under the ATM program but not yet settled.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">A small 32 BTC sale last week was criticized by some observers as a move that “spooked” the market. Benchmark and TD Cowen analysts disagreed with that view. Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer said the collapse scenario overlooked the fact that Strategy would not sell Bitcoin before using the $1 billion in cash it had set aside for dividend payments.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">TD Cowen analysts Lance Vitanza and Jonnathan Navarrete also said Strategy’s STRC dividend burden could be covered with current reserves. There is one condition: Bitcoin needs to continue rising at least modestly.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">There Are 199 Companies on the List</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, 199 publicly traded companies have adopted a Bitcoin acquisition model. After Strategy, the top 10 includes Tether-backed Twenty One, Metaplanet, MARA, Adam Back, Cantor Fitzgerald-backed Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, Bullish, Strive, SpaceX, Coinbase and Riot Platforms. They hold 43,514 BTC, 40,177 BTC, 36,303 BTC, 30,021 BTC, 24,300 BTC, 19,105 BTC, 18,712 BTC, 16,492 BTC and 15,680 BTC, respectively.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Shares of these companies have fallen sharply from their summer 2025 highs. Market value-to-net asset value ratios, or mNAVs, have also dropped significantly. MSTR is down roughly 75% from its peak. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, its mNAV stands at 0.81, while Strategy’s own calculation, which includes debt and preferred shares, puts the figure at 1.12.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Strategy shares lost 5.8% last week and closed Friday at $112.53. The stock is down 27.2% since the start of the year. Over the same period, Bitcoin has declined by around 4%.</p>

Wave of Attacks Hits Crypto Protocols as Three Platforms Face Pressure

Wave of Attacks Hits Crypto Protocols as Three Platforms Face Pressure

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">The crypto sector was shaken this weekend by a series of security incidents across three separate protocols. Secret Network’s Axelar bridge fell victim to a multimillion-dollar fake minting attack, Ethereum layer 2 network Taiko completely halted block production after an exploit, and DeFi protocol Altura was forced to liquidate its stablecoin vault following intense withdrawal demand.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Secret Network’s Axelar Bridge Exploited for $4.67 Million</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">A vulnerability in the IBC bridge contract connecting Secret Network to <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/axl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Axelar </a>allowed the attacker to mint unbacked Secret-wrapped tokens. According to an analysis by Common Prefix, the attacker drained around $4.67 million through this method. The attack took place on June 10 but was not detected until June 17, when a failed cross-chain transfer revealed that an escrow account had been emptied.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Opening an IBC channel does not require permission, and the attacker used that feature to their advantage. They created a single-validator Cosmos chain, opened a channel to the bridge contract, and relayed fake packets that matched token definitions on the allowlist. Because the contract could not distinguish those packets from ones arriving through the real Axelar channel, it minted unbacked tokens. The flaw traces back to the contract’s original deployment in 2023, while a March 5 update carried over the same missing controls.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Axelar disabled the Secret and Secret-SNIP connections and said its own protocol was not affected. Around $672,000 of the stolen assets still remain in the attacker’s wallet. Secret Network requested that these assets be frozen, but Axelar decided not to pursue that request.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Taiko Halts Block Production After Attack</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Ethereum-based rollup Taiko confirmed that its chain state validation mechanism had been compromised and told users to withdraw funds from all bridges on the network. All proposers suspended new block production during the investigation, and the team also asked exchanges to halt deposits for the native token.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-06-22-103443-a6ed44ac.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-06-22 103443.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Security firm Blockaid traced the issue to a flaw in Taiko bridge’s source-signal proof verification. Fake message proofs were accepted as valid on Ethereum mainnet without a corresponding real event on the source chain. This allowed the attacker to register fake bridge messages and withdraw assets from the ERC20 vault without authorization.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Blockaid estimated the loss at around $1 million, while PeckShield placed the figure closer to $1.7 million. The attacker also moved 1.99 million Taiko tokens, worth about $169,702, to an exchange.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Altura Liquidates Vault After “Unprecedented” Withdrawal Demand</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">DeFi protocol Altura announced that it had begun an orderly liquidation of its yield vault after a surge in withdrawal requests over the weekend. CEO Ranveer Arora said more than $8.5 million in instant redemptions had been processed over the past 24 hours. At its peak, the vault held $39 million in stablecoins allocated across strategies such as funding rate arbitrage, market making and real-world asset positions.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-06-22-103401-0942ed32.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-06-22 103401.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Arora said the protocol had no direct exposure but was affected by unfounded market narratives. This was a reference to the collapse of Main Street’s yield-bearing msUSD stablecoin, which lost more than 70% of its value. Main Street’s token plunged after proof provider Accountable terminated its service agreement with the protocol.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Accountable also provides a similar verification service to Altura. Although this partnership does not create a direct link between the two protocols, it fueled contagion fears across the market.</p>

All Eyes on June 25 for Base’s New Upgrade: B20 Token Standard Is Coming

All Eyes on June 25 for Base’s New Upgrade: B20 Token Standard Is Coming

<p class="text-left mb-4 ">Base, the <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/eth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Ethereum </a>layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase, deployed its second major upgrade, Beryl, to the Base Sepolia testnet on Thursday. Mainnet activation is scheduled for June 25.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">At the center of the upgrade is B20, a native token standard designed to issue stablecoins and other assets directly within Base’s node software. Beryl will also reduce the standard withdrawal period from Base to Ethereum from seven days to five.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 "> <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/544976cb33388145f0e5fd0bb93140b39441ea926873827d4c-535ae4c4.webp" alt="544976cb33388145f0e5fd0bb93140b39441ea926873827d4c1b117c16d6ae05.jpg" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> </p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Token Logic Moves Inside the Node</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">B20 fully implements the ERC-20 specification, including the ERC-2612 permit feature. This allows users to approve token spending with a signature instead of submitting a separate transaction. As a result, the standard is directly compatible with existing wallets, exchanges and indexers built for ERC-20 tokens.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The key difference lies in how the tokens are executed. B20 tokens do not operate like conventional smart contracts. They function as precompiled contracts, meaning their logic is written in Rust and runs directly within the node software instead of being deployed onchain as EVM bytecode.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The standard comes with an Issuer Toolkit featuring role-based access controls, minting and burning functions, optional supply caps, detailed transfer policies, and freezing and seizure mechanisms for regulatory purposes. Two variants will be available at launch: a general-purpose asset version and a stablecoin version with a fixed six-decimal precision that allows issuers to define their own currency codes.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The toolkit is built on code audited by Base and Spearbit. Future upgrades are expected to allow issuers to pay gas fees with their own B20 tokens instead of ETH.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Withdrawal Period Reduced to Five Days</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Beryl also shortens the time required to withdraw assets from Base to Ethereum. The waiting period on the standard route used by most bridge providers will fall from seven days to five.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The change builds on the Multiproofs system introduced with Azul, Base’s first independent upgrade, which went live on the mainnet in May. Multiproofs created a one-day fast-finality route when a trusted execution environment, or TEE, and a zero-knowledge proof agreed that a transaction was valid. However, the high cost of generating ZK proofs has limited the route’s practical use.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Beryl instead focuses on the more commonly used slow route, which relies on a single proof. The previous seven-day waiting period was based on Base’s former fault-proof system, which included lengthy delays to give challengers enough time to dispute a withdrawal.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Multiproofs narrowed the purpose of that delay to detecting and disabling a faulty prover. According to Base, this change allows the withdrawal window to continue shrinking.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Scaling Improvements Behind the Scenes</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The upgrade also introduces Reth V2. The new version of the Rust-based execution client, which has served as Base’s sole client since Azul, reduces disk usage across full, minimal and archive nodes.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">This allows Base to increase its block gas targets without overloading sequencer and RPC nodes, expanding the amount of blockspace available to developers.</p><h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Base Accelerates Its Upgrade Schedule</h2><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Beryl is arriving roughly four weeks after Azul was activated on the mainnet. Base attributes this faster pace to its decision in February to move away from its shared dependency on Optimism’s OP Stack and transition to its own unified technology stack.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">Base’s next upgrade, Cobalt, is scheduled for September. It is expected to introduce native account abstraction, turning smart accounts into a protocol-level feature and directly integrating capabilities such as gas sponsorship and transaction batching into the network.</p><p class="text-left mb-4 ">The roadmap also includes additional B20 features and a single node binary combining the chain’s consensus and execution clients.</p>
