Three fresh wallets reportedly tied to Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) received 100,000 Ethereum (ETH) worth $233.7 million from custodian BitGo on Thursday.
The transfer extends the firm’s aggressive drive to aquire 5% of ETH’s circulating supply. Moreover, it lands days after Bitmine’s largest weekly ETH purchase of 2026.
Bitmine announced on April 20 that it had acquired 101,627 ETH the prior week. The purchase is worth roughly $239 million at current prices.
The transaction lifted total holdings to 4.976 million ETH, equivalent to 4.12% of the circulating supply. Thursday’s supposed 100,000 ETH inflow would carry holdings to over 5 million tokens, clearing the mark for the first time.
That puts Bitmine 83% of the way to its goal of 5% of ETH’s supply. About 3.33 million coins are already staked, producing roughly $221 million in annualized revenue.
