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., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: 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 Bitmine crypto + total cash + “moonshots” holdings totaling $13.1 billion.

The Company recently announced its uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from the NYSE American on April 9, 2026. The Company’s common stock continues to trade under the symbol “BMNR”.

As of May 3, 2026 at 4:30pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,180,131 ETH at $2,336 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 200 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $83 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $700 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.29% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“The U.S. Senate released the CLARITY Act compromise text, and while it bans stablecoin yield on reserves, activity-based ‘rewards’ can be offered, in an attempt to balance the needs to protect existing depository institutions (aka traditional banks). This compromise is largely acceptable to us, and we hope to see this bill passed in 2026,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. “The prediction markets (polymarket.com) now see >60% chance of passage in 2026, the highest probabilities in more than a month.”

“Crypto Spring, in our view, has commenced and like past cycles, investor sentiment and conviction are muted and bearish even as crypto prices strengthen. We believe the potential passage, or even failure, of the CLARITY Act confirms the arrival of crypto spring. As for the upcoming drivers of crypto gains, Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains,” said Lee.

“Ethereum remains the most widely used and reliable smart contract blockchains for tokenization and well suited for the upcoming rise of agentic commerce. And increasingly, we believe ETH will be viewed as both a store of value and a unit of exchange. This role for ETH has arguably been demonstrated by its outperformance since the Iran War commenced. ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by 1,380 basis points since the war started and remains one of the top performing assets in the world (beside crude oil prices),” stated Lee.

“Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’ In the past week, we acquired 101,745 ETH, continuing our aggressive accumulation strategy,” stated Lee.

Bitmine recently launched MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was 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. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of May 3, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,362,757 ($10.2 billion at $2,336 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $352 million annually (using 2.91% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now $297 million. And this 4.4 million ETH is over 84% of the 5.18 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.91% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 818,334 BTC valued at $64.2 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $625 million (5-day average, as of May 1, 2026), ranking #173 in the US, behind Cheniere Energy (rank #172) and ahead of DoorDash (rank #174) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

The GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

NORWALK, Conn., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: 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 Bitmine crypto + total cash + “moonshots” holdings totaling $12.9 billion.

As of April 19, 2026 at 4:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,976,485 ETH at $2,301 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 199 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $107 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $1.12 billion. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.12% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“We see growing signs that the ‘mini-crypto’ winter is coming to an end. As downside tail risks for the US-Iran war diminish, ETH has risen 41% from its early February lows. And ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by 2,280 basis points since the war started and remains the single best performing asset in the world (beside crude oil prices). Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains. In our view, there is a lot of meaning to ETH being the best ‘war-time store of value’ and to ETH being the asset leading since the war started,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

“While many believe the crypto winter may last through the Fall of 2026, our view remains that the crypto winter is much closer to ending. Every major crypto winter since 2015 has coincided with an equity drawdown of at least 20%. In fact, the 2025 crypto drawdown moved in sync with the 20% decline in the S&P 500. But in 2026, the equity decline has been milder at -8%,” continued Mr. Lee.

“Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’ In the past week, we acquired 101,627 ETH, which is the highest pace of buys since the week of December 15, 2025,” stated Lee.

As of April 20, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,334,637 ($7.7 billion at $2,301 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $330 million annually (using 2.88% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now $221 million. And this 3.3 million ETH is about 67% of the 4.98 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.76%, while Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.88% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 780,897 BTC valued at $58.2 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.2 billion (5-day average, as of April 17, 2026), ranking #80 in the US, behind Uber Technologies (rank #79) and ahead of D-Wave Quantum (rank #81) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Alleron Expert Group Marks Six Years of 100% Client Retention, Announces Expanded Cloud Services Portfolio

by admin April 11, 2026

written by admin

BOSTON, MA, April 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alleron Expert Group (AEG), a Boston-based cloud consulting and managed services firm, today announced a significant expansion of its service portfolio alongside a landmark milestone: six consecutive years of 100% client retention. The achievement — virtually unheard of in the managed services industry — reflects the firm’s founding commitment to elite, senior-only cloud engineering for mid-market and enterprise organizations across financial services, real estate, and regulated industries.

100%
Client Retention

99.99%
Uptime SLA

15 Min
Support Callback

6 Yrs
Zero Churn

AEG operates on a model that inverts the standard MSP playbook. Where most providers rely on junior engineers, offshore teams, and opaque service bundles, AEG deploys exclusively senior cloud architects — each of whom personally designs, deploys, and supports every environment they touch. There are no account managers, no help desk handoffs, and no proprietary lock-in. Every AEG client has their engineer’s direct number.

“The IT consulting industry rewards salesmanship over expertise. We built AEG to fix that. Our clients don’t call a help desk — they call the engineer who built their environment. When you pair genuine expertise with true accountability, 100% client retention isn’t a goal — it’s the natural outcome.”
— Gene Glekel, Founder & Principal Engineer, Alleron Expert Group

Contractually Backed Performance, Not Promises

AEG backs every engagement with a 99.99% uptime SLA — financially and contractually guaranteed. Clients experiencing issues receive a 15-minute callback, not a ticket queue. All engagements operate without long-term contracts; clients may cancel within 30 days if AEG fails to perform. To date, no client has. AEG also offers a contingency pricing model, where clients pay from savings generated in the first year of engagement — aligning the firm’s incentives directly with client outcomes.

Proven ROI Across the Most Demanding Environments

Clients migrating from colocation to cloud consistently achieve full payback within six months through eliminated waste, reduced sprawl, and right-sized infrastructure. AEG’s proactive monitoring resolves the majority of issues before clients are ever aware of them — a discipline rooted in the firm’s hedge fund origins, where security and resilience standards allows no compromise.

“AEG’s strategy saved us over $1MM in the first three years. Our environment is complex, highly secure, and regulated. They performed the transition seamlessly without a single outage and responded to support issues in real-time.”
— Vitaly Milavsky, CTO, FirTree Capital Management

“We ended up working with AEG to perform a full Cloud transition, with exponentially better agility, operational resilience, and OpEx reduction of roughly 50%.”
— Rizwan Ali, CTO, New Holland Capital

A Full-Spectrum Cloud Practice

The expanded service portfolio spans three integrated practice areas:

Managed Services: End-to-end cloud operations with 24/7 monitoring, proactive incident response, and continuous optimization tied to measurable business outcomes.
Strategic Services: Resilient Cloud Architecture assessments, technology due diligence for M&A, IT budget optimization, and cloud talent gap consulting — aligning infrastructure with long-term business growth.
Technical Services: Azure and AWS architecture, Cloud Resilience and BCDR planning, Disaster Recovery, Office 365 migration, Intune device management, and enterprise email security.

Built from the Ground Up for Regulated Industries

Founded as a division of a famous NYC-based Managed Service Provider, AEG was built to address a persistent market gap: regulated-industry firms were dependent on IT partners who lacked genuine cloud expertise, resulting in sprawling environments, escalating costs, and weakening security postures. AEG applies financial-services-grade security standards universally — clients consistently pass IT compliance audits with minimal friction. All environments are fully documented with zero proprietary dependencies. Clients own their infrastructure outright.

About Alleron Expert Group

Alleron Expert Group (AEG) is a Boston-based cloud consulting and managed services firm specializing in Azure and AWS architecture, cloud migration, disaster recovery, and managed cloud operations. AEG staffs exclusively senior cloud engineers — no junior staff, no sales team, no offshore delivery. Since founding, the firm has maintained 100% client retention and a financially guaranteed 99.99% uptime SLA, serving mid-market and enterprise organizations across financial services, real estate, and regulated industries.

OpenSea Announces SEA Token Details and Launch Date

by admin October 18, 2025

written by admin

OpenSea, once the largest marketplace for digital collectibles, is preparing to launch its own native token, SEA, by the first quarter of 2026.

The plan follows a surge in platform activity after OpenSea expanded beyond NFTs to enable trading across all digital assets.

OpenSea Readies SEA Token Rollout

On October 17, OpenSea co-founder Devin Finzer said the new token will be the cornerstone of the platform’s evolving identity. He explained that it represents OpenSea’s vision for a more open and liquid onchain economy.

“Integrating SEA into OpenSea will be the opportunity to show the world our vision. It will shine a spotlight on everything we’re building,” Finzer said.

According to Finzer, half of SEA’s supply will go to the community, with a majority distributed through an initial claim process. Longtime users and participants in OpenSea’s loyalty programs will be prioritized.

The company also plans to allocate 50% of its launch revenue toward buying back SEA tokens, reinforcing liquidity and value alignment with users.

Moreover, SEA will include staking capabilities, allowing holders to earn rewards while supporting network growth.

“SEA isn’t the destination, but it’s a crucial moment everyone will be watching. You only get one TGE. While the Foundation is wrapping up the final details, we’re getting OpenSea ready,” Finzer added.

NFT Marketplace Evolves to The ‘Trade Everything’ App

Meanwhile, OpenSea’s token initiative is part of a broader transformation to make the platform “trade everything.”

The company is also developing a mobile app, perpetual futures trading, and cross-chain abstraction tools. Each feature is designed to make onchain trading as seamless as using a centralized exchange.

Finzer said OpenSea’s early years were about bringing artists, collectors, and gamers into Web3 through NFTs.

He explained that the next phase gives users a single venue to manage and trade multiple asset types without relying on custodial intermediaries.

“[Our users] shouldn’t need to navigate a maze of chains, bridges, wallets, and protocols in order to use onchain liquidity, wondering whether your balance is on Solana, an Ethereum L2, or somewhere else. [They] should just be able to trade everything in one place, seamlessly,” the OpenSea CEO stated.

Notably, the shift is already yielding positive results for the legacy NFT platform.

Indeed, OpenSea processed over $2.6 billion in total trading volume this month, with more than 90% coming from token trades.

Data from DeFiLlama shows that on October 15, the platform recorded its highest single-day decentralized trading volume of about $462.7 million. This makes it one of the fast-rising DEX platforms in the competitive DeFi space.

These numbers signal a comeback for a platform once overshadowed by newer players. With SEA’s debut on the horizon, OpenSea is positioning itself as a core liquidity layer for the broader onchain economy rather than just an NFT venue.

Dogecoin Adoption: Food Chain With Over 4,000 Locations Announces DOGE Payments

by admin October 16, 2025

written by admin

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Dogecoin (DOGE) continues to expand its digital footprint in real-world transactions as the cryptocurrency prepares to enter the mainstream sectors of dining and hospitality. In a groundbreaking move, House of Doge, the corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, has partnered with a leading hospitality payments platform to enable DOGE payments across thousands of restaurants. This initiative represents a significant step toward establishing Dogecoin as a practical payment option for everyday consumers while also generating new revenue streams for the ecosystem.

InKind To Integrate DOGE Payments Across The Food Chain

According to a press release on Tuesday, House of Doge has signed a letter of intent with inKind, a nationwide hospitality payments and rewards platform with over 3 million app users. The partnership will make Dogecoin the first cryptocurrency accepted across InKind’s large-scale restaurant network.

Once implemented, Dogecoin holders will be able to use the inKind app to pay for dining, drinks, and hospitality experiences at more than 4,750 restaurants, cafes, bars, and nightclubs across the United States. This collaboration marks a major milestone in both cryptocurrency and meme coin adoption, giving DOGE tangible utility for daily transactions as it integrates seamlessly into an established hospitality ecosystem for everyday users.

The integration is supported by the recent merger of Brag House Holdings, Inc. and House of Doge, which provides the operational and technological infrastructure needed to make DOGE payments possible at scale. According to Marco Margiotta, CEO of House of Doge, the partnership not only enables Dogecoin to enter the $1.5 trillion US hospitality market but also provides the meme coin’s community with real, everyday utility for their holdings.

InKind’s platform, known for connecting restaurants with loyal patrons through prepaid dining credit and rewards, will reportedly offer additional incentives for crypto enthusiasts to adopt Dogecoin for real-world use. The partnership is also expected to create potential recurring revenue through merchant processing fees. By enabling DOGE payments in such a wide-reaching network, House of Doge aims to strengthen the currency’s practical relevance while encouraging more users to engage with the digital asset.

House Of Doge Pushes For Global Dogecoin Adoption

In addition to expanding payments, House of Doge is advancing Dogecoin adoption on a global scale through its upcoming NASDAQ listing via a recent merger with Brag House Holdings. Analysts report that the strategic move provides the merged entity with $50 million in capital to develop further real-world DOGE payment infrastructure across restaurants, gaming, and entertainment.

It also positions DOGE within a structured financial ecosystem supported by institutional expertise, data insights, licensing, and treasury management, including 837 million DOGE (approximately $159 million at current levels) in custody. The NASDAQ listing would signify a pivotal moment for Dogecoin, blending grassroots meme coin energy with institutional innovation. The merger also equips House of Doge with tools to scale Dogecoin adoption globally, driving both liquidity and utility in various sectors.
