Bitcoin, strategic investments—now total $17.1 billion.
Those assets comprise 5.98 million ETH, 212 Bitcoin, $714 million in cash and marketable securities, $180 million of Beast Industries shares and $105 million of Aitco Holdings shares.
At an ETH price of $2,688, Bitmine’s ETH stake is valued at roughly $16.1 billion.
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated, “We believe a crypto bull market is continuing, driven by several factors, including the shift from AI to crypto that began in late June, the strengthening of crypto fundamentals around both tokenization and AI, and finally, the end of the 4-year cycle. In our view, $ETH’s tremendous performance in Q3 2026 is seen as a harbinger of potentially even stronger growth in Q4 2026. Given that institutions kept their crypto investments low in early 2026, partly due to the superior performance of AI stocks in early 2026, we expect institutions to significantly increase their crypto investments in the final three months of 2026.”
