BMNR was slightly down pre-market at $43, and remained 35% lower than its mid-August peak as ETH pulled back from record prices.

BitMine, which pivoted to an ETH strategy in June, aims to corner 5% of the second-largest cryptocurrency's supply and generate yield by staking the tokens. The firm currently ranks as the largest listed ETH treasury firm and only trails the bitcoin-focused Strategy's $71 billion BTC holdings among all crypto treasury firms.
