Bitmine Nears 5% Ethereum Supply Goal, Boosts Stock Buybacks Amidst ETH Staking Expansion
July 27, 2026
Bitmine holds about 5,787,414 ETH as of July 26, valued at roughly $11.3 billion, and has 96% of the way toward its goal of owning 5% of Ethereum’s total supply within 13 months of launching its ETH treasury strategy.
Ethereum is presented as a versatile platform driving institutional interest through smart contracts, DeFi, stablecoins, tokenized assets, NFTs, enterprise solutions, and Layer-2 scaling.
The company has boosted its stock buybacks to 6.1 million shares in the past week, bringing total repurchases to 11.6 million under a $4 billion program.

The report offers a forward-looking assessment of Ethereum’s growth drivers—tokenization, institutional adoption, Layer-2 expansion, and enterprise integration—along with ongoing monitoring by HokaNews.
Technical resistance sits around $18 with initial support near $15.50; the stock was up about 11.9% to $17.68 at publication, per Benzinga Pro data.
Technical analysis shows BitMine still in a longer-term downtrend versus the 200-day and 100-day averages, but near-term momentum is improving with price above the 20- and 50-day averages and MACD bullish.
Market momentum is aided by continued inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs and rising institutional demand, supporting Ethereum’s rally and Bitmine’s treasury activity.
The Motley Fool notes that Bitmine was not included in Stock Advisor’s current top 10, while reminding readers that past top picks delivered strong long-term returns but do not guarantee future results.
The press release includes forward-looking statements on ETH price targets ($2,000 and $2,500), regulatory initiatives (GENIUS Act, SEC Project Crypto), and strategic goals, with a caveat about risk factors and the need for SEC filings for details.
