("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash + "moonshots" holdings totaling $9.6 billion.As of February 16th, 2026 at 5:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 4,371,497 ETH at $1,998 per ETH (NASDAQ: COIN), 193 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $17 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash of $670 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 3.62% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).<blockquote>"After spending the past week at Consensus Hong Kong, one of the largest global gatherings in crypto, we came away with a growing conviction that 2026 will be a defining year for Ethereum. We see strengthening product-market fit emerging on the back of three long-duration secular drivers: (i) Wall Street via tokenization/privacy on Ethereum; (ii) AI and AI-agents using Ethereum for both collecting payments as well as verification and (iii) creators leaning towards 'proof of human' and other standards running on Ethereum L2 (Worldchain, etc). There were many panel discussions and presentations around these 3 topics, and it is evident that Ethereum is well positioned to garner significant share, given its neutrality and 100% uptime and reliability," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.</blockquote>Mr. Lee's latest Chairman's message is his keynote given at Consensus HK, and he speaks about these 3 future growth drivers for ETH usage as well as the drivers for Bitmine growth initiatives.

During 2018 and 2022, there were many high profile failures of large players (FTX, 3 arrows in 2022) while 2025-2026 has not seen such large-scale debacles. Rather, it seems like crypto has remained weak since the 'price shock' and massive deleveraging seen on October 10th. For us at Bitmine, we cannot control the price of Ethereum, and the company is acquiring ETH regardless of price trend, as the long-term outlook for Ethereum remains outstanding. Hence, we continue to buy ETH even as crypto moves through this 'mini-winter,'" said Lee.<blockquote>"In the past week, we acquired 45,759 ETH," continued Lee. "Bitmine has been steadily buying Ethereum, as we view this pullback as attractive, given the strengthening fundamentals. In our view, the price of ETH is not reflective of the high utility of ETH and its role as the future of finance."</blockquote>As of February 16, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,040,483 ($6.1 billion at $1,998 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the ETH staking rewards is $252 million annually (using 2.89% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.<blockquote>"Annualized staking revenues are now $176 million. And this 3.0 million ETH is about 69% of the 4.37 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4621058-1&amp;h=1131149310&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quatrefoildata.com%2F&amp;a=Quatrefoil">Quatrefoil</a>) is 2.84%, while Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.89% (annualized). We continue to make progress on our staking solution known as The Made in America VAlidator Network (MAVAN). This will be the 'best-in-class' solution offering secure staking infrastructure and will be deployed in early calendar 2026. Bitmine is currently working with 3 staking providers as the Company moves towards unveiling MAVAN in 2026," continued Lee.</blockquote>Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which owns 714,644 BTC valued at $49 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $0.9 billion (5-day average, as of February 13, 2026), ranking #158 in the US, behind KKR (rank #157) and ahead of CBRE (rank #159) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4621058-1&amp;h=2365715275&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fstatista.com%2F&amp;a=statista.com">statista.com</a> and Fundstrat research).The GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission's ("the SEC") Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today.
