As of January 25, 2026, the company holds 4,243,338 ETH at $2,839 per coin, 193 Bitcoin, $682 million in cash, and stakes in emerging companies including $200 million in Beast Industries and $19 million in Eightco Holdings.

Additionally, the company recently acquired 40,302 ETH, reflecting ongoing confidence in Ethereum’s utility. Bitmine Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee emphasized, “Ethereum remains the most widely used by Wall Street today and most reliable blockchain with zero downtime since inception.” This focus coincides with major global discussions around digital assets at Davos, where policymakers and business leaders highlighted crypto adoption and blockchain integration into traditional finance.

Global Momentum for Digital Assets

At Davos, leaders including President Donald Trump, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, and UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti stressed crypto’s critical role in future finance. Trump noted, “Congress is working very hard on crypto market structure legislation… unlocking new pathways for Americans to reach financial freedom.”

Fink added, “Tokenization is necessary… if we have one common blockchain, we could reduce corruption.” Other voices highlighted that banking and crypto will merge into a single digital asset industry, signaling a major structural shift.

Moreover, Bermuda plans to move its economy fully on-chain, while SWIFT and Chainlink demonstrated blockchain interoperability, proving legacy banking systems can coexist with public networks. Bitmine’s strategic staking also grew, with 2,009,267 ETH staked via its upcoming MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network), potentially generating $374 million annually.
