  • Tom Lee: Optimistic about Wall Street Tokenization and AI Double Benefits

On June 15, 2026, Eastern Time, blockchain infrastructure company Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) released its latest operational and holdings report, announcing another remarkable progress in expanding its crypto asset treasury. With an aggressive buying strategy, Bitmine not only made it onto the "2026 Fortune Crypto 100" list of most influential blockchain companies but also secured the position as the second-largest crypto treasury in the world, second only to Strategy Inc.

Crazy ETH Buying, Approaching the "5% Alchemy" Target

The report states that Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee firmly believes that the recent pullback in Ethereum does not truly reflect its strengthening fundamentals, so the company maintains a very high buying pace. Between June 8 and June 14, the company added another 76,881 ETH.

As of June 14, 2026, Bitmine’s core holdings are as follows:

  • Ethereum (ETH): Total of 5,620,754 coins, worth approximately $9.66 billion, representing 4.66% of ETH’s total supply (120.7M coins).
  • Bitcoin (BTC): 204 coins.
  • Other alternative investments (Moonshots): Including $180 million in Beast Industries shares and $88 million in Eightco Holdings (Nasdaq: ORBS), gaining indirect exposure to OpenAI.
  • Cash and tradable securities: $502 million.

Adding up these assets, Bitmine’s total treasury value has reached $10.4 billion. Notably, the company is 93% of the way toward its "Alchemy of 5%" strategic goal — controlling 5% of the circulating supply of Ethereum — and has achieved this in just 11 months.

Issuing Preferred Shares to Raise $270 Million, Impressive Staking Annual Yield

To support its large-scale buying plan, Bitmine has also been active in capital markets. On June 10, the company successfully issued 3.5 million shares of 9.50% Series A perpetual preferred stock, raising a net of approximately $273.8 million. These preferred shares are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker "BMNP" starting June 16. Additionally, the company announced a third-week cash dividend of $0.2639 per share, payable on July 6.

Beyond secondary market fundraising, Bitmine leverages its large ETH holdings for staking to generate steady cash flow. Currently, the company has staked up to 4,718,677 ETH (worth about $8.1 billion, over 83% of total holdings) on its U.S.-based validator network MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network). The platform’s current 7-day annualized yield is 2.79%. Once fully staked, it is expected to generate an annual passive income of up to $269 million, providing strong support for future dividend payments.

Tom Lee: Optimistic about Wall Street Tokenization and AI Double Benefits

In response to recent market volatility, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee has expressed a strongly bullish outlook. He predicts that the ultimate goal of "Alchemy of 5%" can be fully achieved within 2026. Regarding Ethereum’s future, Tom Lee highlights two core drivers: one is the robust trend of tokenization of traditional Wall Street assets on blockchain; the other is the demand for underlying infrastructure from agentic AI systems on public neutral blockchains.

In the report, Tom Lee boldly predicts that as the U.S. advances the GENIUS Act and SEC’s crypto projects (Project Crypto), this wave of transformation will be as profound as the end of the gold standard in 1971.
