BitMine increased its holdings by 101,901 ETH last week, bringing the total holdings to approximately 5.078 million coins

According to PR Newswire, BitMine increased its holdings by 101,901 Ethereum last week, marking the highest weekly purchase volume since the week of December 15, 2025. As of April 26, 2026, its total Ethereum holdings reached 5,078,386, accounting for approximately 4.21% of the total Ethereum supply.Currently, the total value of the cryptocurrencies, cash, and other investment assets held by BitMine is approximately $13.3 billion, which includes $940 million in cash, 200 Bitcoins, $200 million in equity assets from Beast Industries, and a $91 million investment in Eightco Holdings (ORBS). Additionally, it has staked 3,701,589 Ethereum (73% of total holdings), valued at approximately $8.8 billion, with a current annualized staking yield of about $264 million.BitMine Chairman Tom Lee stated that the company's ETH holdings surpassed 5 million this week, achieving this accumulation in just 10 months, and has completed 84% of its goal to hold 5% of the total ETH supply. Tom Lee noted that multiple research reports suggest ETH is gradually becoming a "store of value" asset and will be used as collateral in digital asset financial transactions. Since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran war, ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by 1,696 basis points, making it one of the best-performing assets globally (second only to crude oil).He also pointed out that Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual drivers of Wall Street's on-chain tokenization and the growing demand for public neutral blockchains from AI intelligent systems, indicating that this round of the crypto winter has entered its final phase.

Strategy invested $2.54 billion in a single week to acquire 34,164 BTC, while Bitmine purchased 101,627 ETH last week, setting the largest single-week record of the year

According to BBX data, the two major cryptocurrency reserve companies disclosed their holdings updates simultaneously yesterday. The expansion rate of Bitcoin and Ethereum treasury reserves both reached a phase high. The core dynamics are as follows:Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MSTR) submitted SEC Form 8-K on April 20, disclosing that the company purchased an additional 34,164 BTC from April 13 to 19, with a total expenditure of approximately $2.54 billion, at an average price of about $74,395, marking the third largest single purchase in the company's history; approximately 85% of the funds for this round of purchases came from STRC preferred stock ATM financing (net proceeds of $2.176 billion), with the remainder from MSTR common stock (net proceeds of $366 million). As of April 19, the company's total holdings reached 815,061 BTC, with a total cost of approximately $61.56 billion (average price $75,527), and the BTC yield since the beginning of 2026 is 9.5%.Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: $BMNR) issued an official announcement through PR Newswire on April 20, stating that as of April 19 at 4:00 PM ET, the company held 4,976,485 ETH (approximately 4.12% of the total circulating ETH), with a weekly purchase of 101,627 ETH (approximately $230 million) last week, marking the largest single-week increase in 2026; the company's total combined cryptocurrency assets, cash, and strategic investments amount to approximately $12.9 billion (including $1.12 billion in cash). Currently, 3,334,637 ETH has been staked (accounting for about 67% of total holdings), with an annualized staking yield of approximately $221 million (7-day annualized staking yield of 2.88%).

BitMEX Research proposes a new mechanism to mitigate the impact of quantum computing-related Bitcoin freezing

According to official news, BitMEX Research has released a new research article proposing that in response to the risk of future quantum computers potentially breaking elliptic curve signatures, the Bitcoin network could adopt an alternative soft fork mechanism to "directly freeze" to reduce controversy and increase flexibility.The proposal revolves around "quantum-vulnerable fund freezing," but suggests avoiding the direct freezing of all related assets without evidence, instead gradually implementing security strategies through a verifiable condition-triggering mechanism. The core of the proposal is to establish a "signal vault," which contains special addresses generated using "accidental numbers" to prove that no one possesses their private keys. If passive spending occurs from that address, it will be regarded as on-chain evidence that quantum computing capabilities genuinely exist, thereby immediately triggering a comprehensive freeze of quantum-vulnerable assets.At the same time, the fund could attract capital through a multi-signature structure as a "quantum bounty," aimed at incentivizing potential attackers to expose their capabilities. The article also mentions that there is currently a BIP-361 proposal promoting the phased disabling of the old signature system and ultimately freezing risky assets, but this proposal is controversial due to its involvement in "mandatory freezing."The newly proposed "signal-trigger + security window" mechanism aims to replace the fixed-time freeze path, reducing potential system shocks while retaining Bitcoin's censorship-resistant characteristics, but it also brings complexity and execution risk trade-off issues.
