Bitmine Immersion Begins ETH Staking with 74,880 ETH Deposit
- Bitmine has deposited 74,880 ETH (approximately $219 million) into the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake system.
- The company aims to earn an annual yield of around 126,800 ETH, translating to about $371 million at current prices.
- Bitmine currently holds approximately 3.4% of Ethereum’s total supply and is targeting 5%.
- The firm faces unrealized losses between $3.5 billion and $4.2 billion from its total holdings of over 4 million ETH.
- Despite this, Bitmine’s stock price has declined by 10% over the past month to $28.10.
This move towards staking reflects Bitmine’s strategy to enhance revenue diversification amid significant unrealized losses in its Ethereum holdings. The company’s staking initiative also supports the security of the Ethereum network.
