Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE American: BMNR) continues to expand its massive Ethereum holdings. According to on-chain analytics platforms, the company added 14,618 ETH on Friday—at a time when institutional demand is rapidly accelerating and spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. are seeing renewed inflows.
Bitmine Immersion Adds 14,618 ETH Worth Over $44 Million
Onchain Lens reported on November 28 that the latest transfer originated from a BitGo hot wallet, delivering 14,618 ETH valued at $44.34 million directly into Bitmine’s reserves.
This purchase lifts the company’s total Ethereum holdings to approximately 3.6 million ETH, which accounts for roughly 3% of the entire circulating supply. According to Yahoo Finance, Bitmine Immersion has a corporate valuation of $12.19 billion, with cryptocurrency reserves totaling $11.2 billion, giving the company an mNAV of 1.08.
These acquisitions come at a time when large U.S. asset managers are once again moving aggressively into ETH through approved spot ETFs.
Institutions Are Buying Again – BlackRock and Fidelity Lead New ETF Inflows
Late November brought a surge of institutional activity. Both BlackRock and Fidelity recorded significant inflows into their spot Ethereum ETFs earlier in the week, just before U.S. markets paused for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Meanwhile, Bitmine Immersion has been aggressively accumulating ETH:
Earlier this week, the firm bought 28,625 ETH worth $82.11 million.One day prior, it acquired 21,537 ETH valued at $60 million from FalconX.
Altogether, Bitmine has purchased more than 64,000 ETH within just a few days—reflecting a very bullish accumulation strategy aligned with Tom Lee’s long-term positive stance on Ethereum.
BMNR Stock Surges as Institutional Holdings Jump Tenfold
Shares of Bitmine Immersion have reacted sharply to the recent activity.
On Wednesday, BMNR closed:
+9.79% at $31.74followed by an additional +3.65% in after-hours trading.
Institutional ownership has also increased dramatically: what was 10 million shares a month ago has now exploded to 100 million shares, signaling intense interest in both the company and the Ethereum ecosystem.
Ethereum Holds Above $3,000 as Market Awaits Option Expiry
Ethereum is currently trading at $3,019, reflecting almost 15% growth in the past week.
The 24-hour range sits between $2,987 and $3,043.
Trading volume over the past day has dropped by 31%, suggesting caution as the market prepares for today’s major ETH options expiry.
Despite lower volume, derivative metrics show renewed strength.
Open interest in ETH futures has increased by 0.71% in the past four hours, reaching $36.20 billion, although it remains slightly lower than the previous day.
Analysts point out that a daily RSI breakout on the ETH/BTC pair could spark the next wave of upward momentum. A weekly close above $3,000 is viewed as a key trigger that may push Ethereum into the $3,300–$3,400 zone.
Conclusion
Bitmine Immersion Technologies is aggressively expanding its Ethereum position at a moment when institutional investors are returning to the asset in force.
Strong ETF inflows, rising institutional ownership, and increasingly favorable technical indicators all suggest that Ethereum may be entering a new phase of growth.

ETH drops 1.23% in 15 minutes: Retail’s concentrated sell-off and amplified ETF fund outflows weigh on the spot order book
2026-04-16 13:45 to 14:00 (UTC), ETH spot prices fell by 1.23% in just 15 minutes. The candlestick price range covered 2291.2 to 2336.98 USDT, with a swing of 1.96%. Market volatility intensified, sell pressure on the board became concentrated, and the trading community’s focus clearly shifted toward changes in capital outflows.
The main driver behind this abnormal move is large-scale, concentrated selling from retail. In the spot market, net outflows in the first 5 minutes reached as high as -$95.57M. Although some lead/major funds attempted to accumulate at lower prices (net inflows of +$18.95M in large orders over 5 minutes), the overall scale was limited and unable to effectively hedge the overall short-term selling pressure. Meanwhile, the ETH futures market did not show extreme liquidations or large-scale position closures, indicating that the core of the abnormal move came from a spot supply-and-demand imbalance rather than leveraged liquidation cascades.
In addition, ETH spot ETF funds have continued to experience net outflows in early April. On April 1, the single-day net outflow was $7.1M. The overall trend in Q1 was bearish, directly reflecting weakening institutional capital allocation intent and further undermining market confidence. Some funds have shifted to on-chain staking and emerging DeFi protocols. It is also worth noting that large holders with holdings in the 100,000-ETH range have continued to reduce their positions since the end of March. Whale capital outflows have persisted, and retail has followed the above signals, leading to a multi-factor selloff resonance effect in the short term. Although both the number of active addresses on the ETH chain and daily trading volume have hit historical highs, network usage and liquidity are overall strong, but capital flow has not formed any substantive spot buy orders, making it difficult to drive a price reversal.
At present, short-term market risk remains significant. Investors should pay attention to the strength of subsequent retail selling, the direction of ETF fund flows, and changes in large-holder positions. If large holders and major funds do not form a strong follow-through/acceptance, the spot market may continue to be affected by the release of structural supply. It is recommended that investors monitor key support zones in real time, track large on-chain fund movements, and watch for macro news developments, in order to reasonably mitigate the risk of short-term price fluctuations and promptly obtain more market information.
