Ethereum Accumulation Accelerates

According to Bitmine, the company acquired 65,341 Ethereum over the past week. This pace exceeded its earlier weekly average of 45,000 to 50,000 ETH. Tom Lee stated that this higher rate continued consistently over the last three weeks.

Tom Lee said Bitmine now stakes more Ethereum than any other entity globally. Current annualized staking revenue stands at $184 million. However, projections suggest this could rise to $272 million as operations scale further.

The estimate uses a 2.83% seven-day BMNR yield. Meanwhile, the broader Composite Ethereum Staking Rate stands at 2.75%, based on Quatrefoil data.

Treasury Strategy and Infrastructure Plans

Bitmine continues developing its Made in America Validator Network, known as MAVAN. The company is working with three staking providers ahead of deployment planned for early 2026.
