Bitmine reported a significant loss in its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. According to the company’s 10-Q report, the net loss for the three-month period ending February 28 was recorded as $3.82 billion.
This figure represents a dramatic increase compared to the $1.15 million loss in the same period last year. Total losses for the six months exceeded $9 billion, putting significant pressure on the company’s balance sheet.
It was stated that the majority of the losses stemmed from unrealized losses incurred in the company’s digital asset portfolio. Specifically, a value loss of approximately $3.78 billion was recorded due to the drop in Ethereum’s price. Despite this, Bitmine continued to accumulate $ETH despite the market fluctuations that have been ongoing since late 2025.
As of April 12th, the company held approximately 4.87 million $ETH, with a total value estimated at around $10.7 billion. This makes Bitmine the company with the largest institutional Ethereum treasury in the world. The average purchase price was reportedly around $2,206.
Company Chairman Tom Lee stated that they view the pullback in $ETH price as a buying opportunity. Lee argued that they have confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential and that current prices do not fully reflect this potential.
On the other hand, the company’s revenues also increased significantly. Quarterly revenue reached $11 million, the majority of which came from staking activities.
