Bitmine’s Ether holdings top 6.07 million ETH
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, the world’s largest corporate holder of Ether, increased its holdings to 6,070,092 ETH with its latest purchase. The company said it has bought Ether every week since it began accumulating the asset in late June 2025.
Bitmine aims to hold 5% of the total Ether supply. Based on the supply of 122.2 million ETH that the company used in its calculations, that target amounts to 6.11 million ETH. If the supply stays at that level, Bitmine needs about 40,000 more ETH to reach its goal.
Bitmine has staked 5,227,037 ETH, about 86% of its Ether holdings, to help validate transactions on the Ethereum network. The staked Ether was worth about $11.7 billion at the price of $2,234 per ETH that Bitmine used in its November 8 valuation.
Bitmine’s Ether holdings grew over the week, while the dollar value of its overall portfolio fell. The combined value of its crypto assets, cash, marketable securities and other investments declined from $14.5 billion on November 1 to $14.3 billion on November 8. Over the same period, the Ether price used in its portfolio valuation fell from $2,261 to $2,234.
