Bitmine has 3,142,643 staked ETH, representing $6.8 billion at $2,148 per ETH

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK's Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas "Tom" Lee to support Bitmine's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. ("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced the official launch of MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network), its proprietary institutional-grade Ethereum staking platform.

MAVAN is designed to serve as the premier Ethereum staking destination for institutions, with a focus on security, performance, and resilience. The platform combines U.S.-based infrastructure for institutions requiring domestic validation with a flexible, globally distributed architecture to support clients worldwide. Originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure.

"MAVAN represents a critical step in our vision to build one of the leading staking and on-chain infrastructure platforms globally," said Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. "Because Bitmine is the largest owner of Ethereum in the world, shortly after launch, MAVAN will be the largest Ethereum staking platform in the world. We plan to expand across additional proof-of-stake networks and critical blockchain infrastructure over time, and through 2026, we'll grow our efforts in areas such as on-chain vaults, post-quantum client development, and more."

As of 5:00PM ET on March 24, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,142,643 ($6.8 billion at $2,148 per ETH via Coinbase). Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. When Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN in the coming weeks, the ETH staking rewards will be nearly $300 million annually (using 2.83% 7-day BMNR yield).

In this past week, Bitmine staked 101,776 ETH ($219 million) to MAVAN and intends to continue to add scale over the coming weeks with the goal of staking nearly all of Bitmine's remaining unstaked ETH.
