Bitmine is 98% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 15 months

ETH is the best performing macro asset in 3Q26 so far, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430bp

Bitmine was added to the Russell 1000 Large-cap index on June 26, 2026

Bitmine’s Series A Preferred Stock is trading on the NYSE under the symbol BMNP

Bitmine has 5,067,309 staked ETH, representing $12.7 billion at $2,511 per ETH. MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) is a premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors

Bitmine owns $81 million of Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), now one of the only publicly listed equities in the world to provide investors indirect exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings & Marketable Securities + “Moonshots” total $15.6 billion, including 5.90 million ETH tokens, total cash & marketable securities of $541 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support Bitmine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“Bitmine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash & marketable securities + “moonshots” holdings totaling $15.6 billion.

As of August 30, 2026 at 3:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,901,112 ETH at $2,511 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 211 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $81 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $541 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“As we enter the final month of 3Q26, ETH is the best performing macro asset, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430bp through last Friday. In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, BTC and SOL,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. “We believe this sets the stage for institutions to add to their crypto holdings given the substantial outperformance of crypto versus other macro assets in 3Q so far.”

“We believe there are multiple positive catalysts as we head into the final months of 2026,” stated Lee. “These include the upcoming CLARITY Act vote scheduled in mid-Sept. Additionally, Korean investors have again started buying crypto and rotating away from AI stocks. The 4-year cycle is bottoming within the next few weeks in our view. And this sets the stage for what we expect to be sizable institutional participation in buying crypto in the final months of 2026, especially given the tailwinds of tokenization and Agentic-AI.”

“This ETH/BTC ratio has moved up during crypto bull cycles, driven by increasing use of Ethereum relative to bitcoin. These prior cycles were fueled by ICOs (2017-2018), NFTs (2020-2021), and stablecoins (2025). In this upcoming crypto cycle, we see the ETH/BTC ratio rising, driven by Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and by agentic-AI using blockchains,” continued Lee.

“Over the past week, we acquired 53,501 ETH. Bitmine has bought ETH for each of the past 65 weeks (every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025),” stated Lee.

On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman’s Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is “ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth.”

Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in America VAlidator Network), the institutional-grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine’s own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of August 30, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($12.7 billion at $2,511 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $390 million on an annualized basis (using 2.63% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $335 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 86% of the 5.90 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.63% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.36 billion (5-day average, as of August 29, 2026), ranking #62 in the US, behind Texas Instruments (rank #61) and ahead of UnitedHealth Group (rank #63) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 840,447 BTC valued at approximately $66 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the US action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 55 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

Relativity Brings Powerful Legal Data Intelligence to Microsoft Copilot, Expanding AI Assistant Support for Legal Teams

News Summary

• RelativityOne now integrates with Microsoft Copilot through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• This integration enables legal teams to automate RelativityOne administrative workflows in Copilot through natural language.
• The company’s continued efforts in expanding MCP integrations serve to extend Relativity solutions into the surfaces where legal professionals already do their work.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced that RelativityOne, its extensible AI platform for legal work, now integrates with Microsoft Copilot through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With this integration, legal teams can now use natural language in Copilot to execute administrative reporting capabilities directly within the RelativityOne environment without switching contexts or platforms.

“Copilot is now one more place our users can take action in RelativityOne in plain language without leaving Microsoft 365,” said Chris Brown, President, Relativity. “This accelerates administration, while aiR continues to transform the high-stakes legal work that demands deep context, and tight governance stays in RelativityOne.”

According to the International Legal Technology Association’s 2025 Legal Technology Survey of global law firms, Microsoft Copilot is the most widely used generative AI tool in the industry. It reports that Copilot is used by 68% of firms and 84% of the largest firms. Integrating RelativityOne with Copilot serves to enable legal professionals to work more seamlessly across the two surfaces.

“As legal teams embrace AI to transform how work gets done, the ability to securely connect enterprise knowledge, workflows, and data systems becomes increasingly important,” said Mala Anand, Executive Vice President & Chief Customer Officer at Microsoft. “By bringing RelativityOne into Microsoft 365 Copilot through MCP, we are enabling legal professionals to use natural language to orchestrate complex workflows, accelerate time to insight, and unlock the value of their data within a trusted AI-powered experience.”

By streamlining the work required to understand data structures, and manage users, teams can move faster from trigger event to analysis, while decisions still drive impact. The integration also delivers insights into data and usage patterns to reinforce best practices, strengthen governance, and support more informed decisions across matters, clients, and practice groups.

RelativityOne has long been a platform designed to be extended through APIs and a partner ecosystem. This Copilot integration further empowers Relativity’s user community to manage and tailor their RelativityOne environments to meet their unique needs, simplify operational tasks and ultimately focus more time on the consequential work that drives successful outcomes.

Relativity’s integration with Microsoft Copilot currently enables orchestration and reporting capabilities in Copilot Cowork, including standing up workspaces, organizing case data and managing legal operations through natural language. Reporting capabilities—such as analyzing workspace access and generating administrative reports—are enabled in Copilot Chat. Support for orchestration capabilities is planned to be added to Copilot Chat later this year.

Following the company’s recent moves to launch Relativity claiR in advanced access, plans to integrate Gavel‘s Word capabilities into RelativityOne, recent MCP expansions, this Copilot integration is the latest advancement in Relativity’s strategy of expanding RelativityOne to meet legal teams where and how they work.

Altimetrik Achieves the AWS Generative AI Specialization

BENGALURU, India, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Altimetrik, an AI-first digital engineering company, has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Generative AI Specialization, a new category launched within the AWS AI Competency. This specialization recognizes Altimetrik as an AWS Partner that helps customers leverage foundation models and related technologies to implement use cases across industries.

The AWS AI Competency Generative AI Specialization distinguishes Altimetrik as an AWS Partner with demonstrated technical expertise and customer success in building and deploying enterprise-grade generative AI solutions on AWS. Altimetrik has a proven track record of using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, and other AWS AI services to help customers move beyond experimentation and deploy generative AI at scale.

“Achieving the AWS Generative AI Competency reflects the depth of our engineering expertise in designing and delivering enterprise AI capabilities on AWS,” said Farid Roshan, Global Head of AI Infused Digital at Altimetrik. “From responsible AI and governance to scalable architectures and emerging agentic patterns, this designation gives our clients added confidence that we’re applying proven engineering practices to turn AI into meaningful business outcomes.”

“Generative AI delivers the most value when it’s grounded in deep domain understanding,” said Gautam Samanta, Chief Revenue Officer at Altimetrik. “Across our clients, we’re combining decades of industry knowledge with the right technology capabilities on AWS to help them build AI solutions that scale with their business and stay aligned to their specific industry priorities.”  

Altimetrik’s generative AI work is built on ALTi AIOS™, a structured framework spanning 45 engineering disciplines that covers the design, deployment, and governance of enterprise AI solutions. On AWS, the company uses Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker to build GenAI-powered platforms that automate tasks, improve enterprise search, and create a single source of truth from fragmented data. Built-in guardrails for security, compliance, and cost tracking give organizations the confidence to scale generative AI across the business.

“Generative AI is forcing enterprises to confront whether their data, processes and governance are actually ready for enterprise-scale adoption,” said Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HFS Research. “The technology is moving faster than most operating environments can absorb it, which makes engineering discipline, governed workflows and clear human accountability critical. AWS’s validation of Altimetrik’s generative AI capabilities is significant because it demonstrates the company is building for production environments where AI solutions have to work securely, reliably and at scale, not simply perform well in another pilot.”

Altimetrik has already put these capabilities to work, helping a leading global financial intelligence and analytics provider build a GenAI-native Internal Developer Platform on AWS that streamlined how engineering teams work. The platform uses Amazon Bedrock and Titan embeddings to power an AI-driven coding companion and intelligent search across more than 70 code repositories, enabling developers to find and reuse existing work rather than start from scratch. The platform helped the provider accelerate delivery while maintaining compliance and cost control.

This Specialization ensures customers can confidently select partners who demonstrate validated expertise in building and implementing enterprise-grade AI agents. These specialized partners help organizations deploy autonomous AI systems that can handle end-to-end business processes across diverse use cases, including enterprise knowledge operations, intelligent process automation, autonomous customer operations, financial operations automation, and supply chain optimization.

“Generative AI is moving beyond experimentation, but scaling it requires more than capable models,” said Jimit Arora, CEO, Everest Group. “Enterprises need trusted data, embedded governance, observability, clear accountability, and the ability to integrate AI safely across real business workflows. Altimetrik’s AWS Generative AI recognition reflects the market’s shift toward production-grade generative AI and measurable business outcomes.”

“As we enter the final month of 3Q26, ETH is the best performing macro asset, outperforming the S&P 500 by 5,430bp through last Friday. In fact, the top 3 performing assets since June 30th are ETH, BTC and SOL,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. “We believe this sets the stage for institutions to add to their crypto holdings given the substantial outperformance of crypto versus other macro assets in 3Q so far.”

“We believe there are multiple positive catalysts as we head into the final months of 2026,” stated Lee. “These include the upcoming CLARITY Act vote scheduled in mid-Sept. Additionally, Korean investors have again started buying crypto and rotating away from AI stocks. The 4-year cycle is bottoming within the next few weeks in our view. And this sets the stage for what we expect to be sizable institutional participation in buying crypto in the final months of 2026, especially given the tailwinds of tokenization and Agentic-AI.”

“This ETH/BTC ratio has moved up during crypto bull cycles, driven by increasing use of Ethereum relative to bitcoin. These prior cycles were fueled by ICOs (2017-2018), NFTs (2020-2021), and stablecoins (2025). In this upcoming crypto cycle, we see the ETH/BTC ratio rising, driven by Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and by agentic-AI using blockchains,” continued Lee.

“Over the past week, we acquired 53,501 ETH. Bitmine has bought ETH for each of the past 65 weeks (every week since the inception of the ETH Treasury Strategy on June 30, 2025),” stated Lee.

On July 16, 2026, Bitmine released the latest Chairman’s Message (link here) for July 2026. The title of the Message is “ETH is the cure for the Uncanny Valley of Wealth.”

Earlier in 2026, Bitmine launched MAVAN (the Made in America VAlidator Network), the institutional-grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine’s own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of August 30, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($12.7 billion at $2,511 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $390 million on an annualized basis (using 2.63% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $335 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 86% of the 5.90 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.63% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.36 billion (5-day average, as of August 29, 2026), ranking #62 in the US, behind Texas Instruments (rank #61) and ahead of UnitedHealth Group (rank #63) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine’s crypto holdings reign as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 840,447 BTC valued at approximately $66 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine management believes the GENIUS Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2026 as the US action on August 15, 1971, which ended the Bretton Woods system and took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard 55 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

Rockwell Automation Integrates Plex QMS with FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI to Advance AI-Driven Quality, Continues AI Expansion

Integration brings AI-powered visual inspection into QMS workflows to help improve quality, traceability and defect detection

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, on Aug. 11, 2026 announced an API-enabled integration between Plex Quality Management System (QMS) and FactoryTalk^® Analytics™ VisionAI™. The integration, available from Aug. 11, expands AI-driven quality management and reflects Rockwell’s continued investment in artificial intelligence and elastic MES solutions.  

Rockwell continues to advance AI/ML across its offerings, including cloud-based MES platforms, edge AI and digital twins. According to Rockwell’s “Scaling MES Across the Enterprise” report, 42% of manufacturing processes are expected to become AI-supported within the next year. The Plex QMS and FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI integration offers manufacturers opportunities for strategic, automated quality intelligence. 

“AI plays a critical role in Rockwell’s industrial autonomy strategy,” states Devin Burke, group product manager, Rockwell Automation. “With predictive intelligence, manufacturers can shift from scripted automation to adaptable autonomy as systems learn, adjust and collaborate across software, hardware and workers.” 

The integration builds on the API-first architecture of Plex QMS, enabling interoperability. When connected to FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI, Plex QMS delivers AI-driven workflows to new and existing camera systems. These workflows help detect anomalies and reduce defects. Traditional visual inspection is only 80% effective and often fails to store inspection history. The Plex QMS and FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI integration delivers exceptional visual inspection, as results recorded in the Plex system provide traceability, product serialization and an accurate record of inspection history. 

In addition to the new integration, Plex Connected Worker recently introduced AI-powered authoring agent within the Digital Work Instructions suite, which transforms CAD files and technical assets into structured, step-by-step instructions for frontline employees. Similarly, Plex includes an AI agent embedded within its Reporting and Analytics capabilities, delivering out‑of‑the‑box dashboards that turn operational data into real-time, actionable insights. Users can engage these agents in natural language to proactively surface risks, predict issues, and drive faster, smarter decisions—moving from operational foresight to action with a single click.  

“At Rockwell Automation, we’ve built a context-rich industrial data foundation shaped by years of manufacturing expertise,” shares Manu Ravichandran, senior product manager, Rockwell Automation. “This foundation gives manufacturers the structure, context, and scalability needed to operationalize advanced analytics and AI across complex operations.”
