BitMine said it now owns 4,203,036 ETH. This figure increased after the addition of 35,268 ETH to the company in the past week. Its value at current market prices is almost $12.8 billion.

The company estimated that its ether holdings represent nearly 3.5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. The network offering is approximately 120.7 million ETH. BitMine is the largest known treasury in Ethereum.

The company also unveiled other assets. It owns 193 Bitcoins worth $17.5 million. Eightco’s share value is $22 million, and it has a cash position of $979 million. This brings the combined cash and crypto funds to approximately $14.5 billion.

BitMine retains leadership as votes confirm support

The company emphasized its position among public crypto treasuries. It is the leader in Ethereum-focused entities and as such only follows the Bitcoin-focused strategy in the larger sector. The update made BitMine one of the leading entities in the Ethereum ecosystem.

BitMine also released the results of its annual meeting on January 15. The shareholders have approved all four proposals. One of the solutions was to increase the authorized shares, and it won 81% of the votes. According to Lee, the result showed continued investor support for the company’s accumulation plans and share issuance methods.

This announcement came during a very turbulent market period. To open the day, BMNR shares fell more than 7.52%. The stock traded at levels below $29 as the broader risk environment put pressure on the shares.

There was also selling pressure in Ethereum. The token fell to around $3,003. BitMine has announced that the value of its ether holdings is 4.203 million tokens. The figure reduces the size of its reserves on the world market.
