#BitmineAddsMoreETH,HoldingsTop6.01M 6,016,414 ETH, a 4.9% Supply Position and the $24.66 BMNR Valuation Test

BitMine has crossed another major milestone in its Ethereum treasury strategy. The company added 15,112 ETH during the latest week, lifting total holdings to 6,016,414 ETH as of October 4. That represents approximately 4.93% of Ethereum’s stated 122.1 million supply, putting the “Alchemy of 5%” target about 98.55% complete. BitMine has now accumulated ETH every week since launching its treasury strategy on June 30, 2025.

The pace, however, is becoming more important than the headline number. The latest 15,112 ETH purchase was down from 17,362 ETH the previous week, a second consecutive weekly slowdown. At the latest company-reported reference price of $2,726 per ETH, the new purchase represents roughly $41.2 million of additional exposure. The slowing weekly flow does not change the scale of the treasury, but it matters because BitMine has been one of the most persistent corporate sources of ETH demand.

There are only 88,586 ETH between the current treasury and 5% of the 122.1 million ETH supply figure. That means the finish line is approximately 6,105,000 ETH. At an ETH price around $2,566, the remaining position would cost roughly $227.3 million; at BitMine’s $2,726 reference price, the same gap would be worth about $241.6 million. This is no longer a distant accumulation objective—it is a relatively small final purchase compared with the size of the existing treasury.

But the bigger question for BMNR shareholders is no longer simply “How much ETH does BitMine own?” It is “How much of that treasury value is the stock price actually giving investors?”

At $24.66 per BMNR share and approximately 603.23 million shares outstanding, the equity market value is about $14.88 billion. Using BitMine’s $2,726 reference price, 6,016,414 ETH is worth approximately $16.40 billion. On an ETH-only basis, that works out to roughly $27.19 of ETH value per BMNR share. Against the $24.66 share price, BMNR is therefore trading at about 0.91x ETH treasury value, or an approximately 9.3% discount to the ETH position alone.

The broader balance sheet makes the comparison even more interesting. BitMine reported $643 million in cash and marketable securities, 214 BTC, a $180 million Beast Industries stake and a $117 million Eightco/ORBS position. Combined with its crypto holdings, cash and “moonshots,” the company reported approximately $17.4 billion of total holdings. On the same share count, that is roughly $28.84 per share in reported asset value—meaning BMNR at $24.66 sits about 14.5% below that broader figure.

The treasury is also becoming an income-producing asset rather than simply a passive ETH wallet. BitMine has 5,067,309 ETH staked, equal to roughly 84% of its ETH holdings. Management currently projects approximately $363 million in annualized staking revenue, with the actual result dependent on staking yields and network conditions. That creates an important distinction from a simple ETH-per-share comparison: the treasury can potentially generate additional value while it remains invested.

The newest strategic development may be even more important. Chairman Tom Lee said at Token2049 that 5% is now a hard cap and BitMine will not accumulate beyond that level. That changes the investment equation: the question is shifting from how aggressively BitMine can expand its ETH balance to what happens to BMNR’s valuation once the extraordinary accumulation phase approaches its endpoint.

My read: the accumulation story remains exceptionally strong, but the stock now needs to prove that treasury growth can translate into shareholder value. ETH strength should normally support BMNR through higher NAV, while staking adds another value layer. But if ETH rebounds and BMNR continues trading around or below its ETH-per-share value, the key issue is no longer accumulation—it is the market’s willingness to price that treasury closer to NAV.

For BMNR, the next signal is therefore simple: watch ETH price, BMNR volume and mNAV together. A sustained ETH recovery accompanied by BMNR reclaiming its underlying NAV would suggest the discount is closing. If ETH strengthens while BMNR remains suppressed, the market may be signaling that the accumulation premium has already faded and the 5% finish line is becoming a valuation challenge rather than an accumulation challenge.
