Fact Check
BitMine's own official X post (@BitMNR) directly confirms the core claim: 5,543,872 ETH, $247M cash, and equity stakes in Eightco Holdings and Beast Industries. The 126,971 ETH weekly addition and 5.54M ETH total are corroborated by Wu Blockchain. The claim's 'most of its Ether position staked' aligns with the reported 4.72M of 5.54M ETH staked. The only minor inaccuracy is BTC count: BitMine reports 203 BTC, while the claim states 204 BTC — a small discrepancy that does not affect the main thrust of the claim.

Bitmine said 4,718,677 ETH are staked, generating about $230 million in annualized yield, and that its crypto, cash and other investments total about $9.6 billion.
