According to the official announcement, Bitmine Chairman commented on the increased accumulation, stating, “Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case is ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’”
The shift marks a notable acceleration in buying activity, suggesting a more aggressive accumulation phase compared to previous weeks.
Holdings approach 4% of the total supply
As of March 30, the company holds 4.73 million ETH, representing approximately 3.92% of the total Ethereum supply. Based on disclosed figures, Ethereum remains the dominant component of Bitmine’s broader crypto and treasury portfolio.

The firm also holds a smaller amount of Bitcoin and maintains cash reserves and equity stakes in other ventures.
Staking becomes a core strategy
A significant portion of Bitmine’s Ethereum holdings, over 3.1 million ETH, has been allocated to staking. The company has built out its own validator infrastructure through MAVAN, an institutional-grade staking platform initially designed for internal use.
On March 26, Bitmine announced the launch of MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network). The platform is an Ethereum staking service designed specifically for institutional investors, offering secure and high-performance staking. It uses U.S.-based servers for clients that require local infrastructure.
This setup allows Bitmine to generate yield from its holdings while retaining exposure to ETH price movements. Current annualized staking revenues are estimated at around $177 million.
Positioning within global crypto treasuries
By scale, Bitmine ranks among the largest digital asset treasuries globally and remains the largest known holder of Ethereum. Its strategy contrasts with firms more heavily focused on Bitcoin, such as Strategy Inc.
The increased pace of ETH purchases suggests the company is leaning further into Ethereum as its primary treasury asset. The increased pace of ETH purchases suggests the company is leaning further into Ethereum as its primary treasury asset.
Last week, Bitmine announced the acquisition of 65,341 ETH to its treasury. At the time, the company reported that its crypto, cash, and other holdings totaled about $11 billion as of March 22. This included 4,660,903 ETH, 196 BTC, $1.1 billion in cash, and minority stakes in Beast Industries and Eightco Holdings.
What it means
The increase in weekly purchases points to a shift from steady accumulation to more concentrated buying, which can influence both market liquidity and sentiment. Large-scale treasury strategies like this may tighten circulating supply, especially as more ETH is locked into staking.
At the same time, the move highlights a broader trend of institutional-style positioning around Ethereum, not just as a speculative asset, but as a yield-generating reserve within corporate balance sheets.
