Bitmine Immersion Technologies added 17,362 ETH in the past week, lifting its Ethereum treasury above 6 million tokens. The company reported 6,001,302 ETH held, about 4.9% of circulating supply. It said it is 98% toward its goal of owning 5% of Ethereum's supply. More than 5.06 million ETH is staked. The treasury was valued at roughly $16 billion.

Key points

  1. Bitmine added 17,362 ETH in the past week.
  2. Its Ethereum treasury crossed above 6 million tokens.
  3. The holdings are close to 5% of Ethereum's circulating supply.
  4. Most of the company's ETH is staked.
  5. Bitmine is targeting 5% of Ethereum's supply.

Why it matters

A single public company now holds more than 6 million ETH and most of that is staked, making its treasury a large concentrated position in Ethereum. Bitmine says its goal is 5% of supply.

What's unclear

Reported Ethereum circulating supply differs: about 120.7 million tokens versus 122.1 million tokens.
Projected annualized staking revenue is given as $211 million to $357 million in one report and about $424 million if fully staked in the other.
