Bitmine Immersion Technologies has reported significant losses despite rising revenue, driven by increased staking returns on Ethereum, in the recent quarter’s financial results.

The company disclosed in its latest 10-Q report that it had recorded a loss of $3.82 billion in the quarter ending February 28, 2026. The loss is a dramatic increase from the loss of $1.15 million posted in the corresponding quarter in the previous year. Within six months, cumulative losses exceeded $9 billion, an increase from the previous year’s $2.1 million loss.

Losses have been incurred largely as a result of substantial unrealized losses totaling $3.78 billion, resulting from the company’s cryptocurrency investments. Despite the market slump that occurred in late 2025, Bitmine continued adding to its holdings of Ethereum.

As of April 12, Bitmine had a total of about 4.87 million units of ETH, with a market valuation of approximately $10.7 billion. This positions Bitmine as the biggest owner of Ethereum amongst corporations, as well as one of the largest crypto treasuries in the world, only second to Strategy.

Tom Lee, Bitmine’s chairman, has stayed positive about the firm’s business plan. According to him, in an earlier press release, the company viewed the existing prices as good for investment because the intrinsic value of Ethereum had not been accounted for in the price.

Additionally, as noted by him recently, Bitmine has started buying more ETH, as he thinks the market might soon start recovering from the short-term downturn. According to Lee, global tensions, particularly the current Iran conflict, have become an important aspect that impacts the world’s financial markets.

A long-term target has been set by the firm to achieve ownership of 5% of the total Ether supply, which has already been surpassed by more than 4%. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,317, still well below its previous peak of $4,946.

Bitmine Revenue Surges Despite Losses

Although the company sustained major losses, Bitmine saw significant growth in its revenues in the quarter. Revenues were at $11.04 million, a huge jump from $1.5 million from the same quarter last year.

Most of the income, $10 million or so, is derived from Ethereum staking rewards. Extra income came from leasing, consultation, and mining by oneself.

The firm is presently staking approximately 68% of its ETH balance, which equates to more than 3.3 million ETH. Using the latest yield figures, Bitmine anticipates earning about $212 million each year from its staking activities.

Bitmine reported not only the value of its Ethereum coins but also its holding of $719 million in cash, 198 Bitcoins, and investments in several firms. For instance, the company had invested $200 million in Beast Industries and $85 million in Eightco Holdings, which is traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol ORBS.

Meanwhile, Bitmine also made a recent shift by taking its stock off the NYSE American and onto the New York Stock Exchange. This company experienced a small fall in prices by 0.14% to close at $21.48.

Although losses continue to be an issue, the company has continued to bet on its approach that focuses on the Ethereum platform.
