BitMine Immersion Technologies has reportedly expanded its Ethereum treasury holdings to 5.7 million ETH, a figure that would represent one of the largest corporate Ether allocations on record.
The claim, initially circulated via Telegram, aligns with a press release from BitMine stating that the company's ETH holdings reached 5.70 million tokens, with total crypto and cash holdings of $9.8 billion. The announcement frames the milestone as an expansion of an existing treasury strategy rather than a new initiative.

BitMine, which trades under the ticker BMNR, has been steadily increasing its Ethereum exposure over recent months. The company added 27,084 ETH in a single week leading up to this milestone, reflecting an aggressive accumulation pace.
A treasury denominated in 5.7 million ETH is notable for its sheer scale. At current market prices, a position of that size would place BitMine among the most concentrated corporate holders of Ether globally.
The expansion builds on a pattern of large purchases. BitMine previously bought $50 million in Ethereum during a period of broader market uncertainty, signaling conviction in ETH as a balance-sheet asset. The company has also bought Ethereum dips while cutting debt without selling Bitcoin, suggesting a deliberate dual-asset treasury approach.
A CoinDesk report noted that BitMine added another $43 million of ETH even as broader crypto markets showed weakness attributed to quarter-end window dressing.
The decision to denominate a corporate treasury primarily in ETH, rather than Bitcoin or stablecoins, distinguishes BitMine from most public companies holding digital assets. Earlier reports indicated the company was also looking to buy 10,000 ETH directly from the Ethereum Foundation, a move that would further deepen its ties to the Ethereum ecosystem.
Market participants will likely seek formal confirmation through regulatory filings. BitMine's SEC filings, including prior 8-K disclosures, have historically documented the company's crypto acquisitions.
A corporate treasury of this magnitude could influence short-term ETH sentiment, particularly if other public companies view it as a precedent for Ethereum-denominated reserves. Traders will watch for whether the accumulation continues or stabilizes at the current level.
Investors should also monitor whether BitMine issues additional formal statements detailing the composition and custodial arrangements of its holdings, as transparency around a $9.8 billion combined position carries significant market weight.
