According to PR Newswire, Ethereum treasury company BitMine increased its holdings by 17,362 Ethereum last week, with total ETH holdings surpassing 6 million for the first time. As of September 27, 2026, its total Ethereum holdings reached 6,001,302, accounting for approximately 4.9% of the total Ethereum supply, with uninterrupted weekly increases since the launch of the ETH treasury strategy on June 30, 2025, in less than 15 months.

Currently, the total value of cryptocurrencies, cash, and other investment assets held by BitMine is approximately $17.2 billion, which includes $672 million in cash and securities, 213 Bitcoin, $180 million in equity assets from Beast Industries, and a $115 million investment in Eightco Holdings (ORBS). In addition, the number of staked Ethereum remains at 5,067,309 (84% of total holdings), valued at approximately $13.7 billion, with a current annualized staking yield of about $358 million.

Tom Lee stated in the company's weekly report that so far in the third quarter, ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by over 6,728 basis points, making it the best macro asset globally; he believes that the crypto bull market began in late June, and institutions are currently underweight in crypto assets, expecting to significantly increase their holdings in the last few months of 2026. Additionally, Lee will deliver a keynote speech at the Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) on September 30.
