That compares with a loss of just $1.15 million in the same period a year earlier. For the six months, losses exceeded $9 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The bulk of the decline stemmed from unrealized losses on digital asset holdings, which accounted for $3.78 billion of the quarterly figure. The losses reflect market fluctuations rather than realized sales, but highlight the financial impact of holding large <span>crypto<\/span> positions during a downturn.<\/p>\n<p>Bitmine has continued to expand its <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/eth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ethereum<\/a> treasury despite recent market weakness. As of April 12, the firm held approximately 4.87 million <span>ETH<\/span>, valued at about $10.7 billion. That represents just over 4% of the total ether supply, placing Bitmine among the largest corporate holders of the asset.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/bitmine-reports-3-8-billion-quarterly-loss-as-ethereum-bet-takes-toll_nwmk.png?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIARQKIT2TMGZBKV2L6%2F20260415%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260415T111242Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=600&amp;X-Amz-Signature=3c4d261b62551cbd56818d8f9a8858722bd262705bca01ff1f629a8432b7f153\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The company has set a target of accumulating 5% of ethereum\u2019s total supply. Its current holdings were acquired at an average price of $2,206 per token, leaving its balance sheet sensitive to price swings.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the headline losses, Bitmine\u2019s operating performance showed signs of growth. Quarterly revenue rose to $11.04 million from $1.5 million a year earlier, driven primarily by <span>staking<\/span> income.<\/p>\n<p>Roughly $10 million of that total came from <span>staking<\/span> rewards, as the company deployed a significant portion of its holdings to generate yield. Bitmine said it has staked about 3.33 million <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/eth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ETH<\/a>, or roughly 68% of its total reserves.<\/p>\n<p>Based on recent yields, the company projects annualized <span>staking<\/span> revenue of around $212 million, offering a steady income stream to offset market <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-volatility\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volatility<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/eth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ethereum<\/a>, Bitmine reported $719 million in cash, along with smaller holdings including 198 <a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a>. The firm also holds equity stakes in several companies, including a $200 million investment in Beast Industries and an $85 million position in Nasdaq-listed Eightco Holdings.<\/p>\n<p>The results come shortly after Bitmine upgraded its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitmine-debuts-on-nyse-with-4-billion-buyback-plan\/\">listing<\/a> to the New York Stock Exchange, a move aimed at increasing visibility and attracting institutional investors.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s strategy reflects a broader trend among <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> treasury firms seeking leveraged exposure to digital assets.
