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., Sept. 8, 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 $15.7 billion.

As of September 7, 2026 at 2:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,929,198 ETH at $2,495 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 211 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $91 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $593 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.9% of the ETH supply (of 122.0 million ETH).

“Since June 30th, 4 of the top 21 best performing stocks in the Russell 1000 are crypto-related equities. The outperformance is reflective of the fact that Ethereum is the best performing macro asset in Q3 so far. In our view, fund managers benchmarked to the Russell 1000 need to consider whether they have sufficient exposure to crypto given this group’s outsized contribution to Russell 1000 gains this quarter. Notably, Bitmine’s common stock is the 4th best performing with a gain of 99% compared to 3% for the Russell 1000 benchmark,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

Tom DeMark, founder of DeMark Analytics and a capital markets advisor to Bitmine is expecting ETH to make a sharp upward move in coming weeks. According to Tom DeMark, “In August, ETH moved sideways without a downside break and the 12-day metric expired, which implies a renewal of the upside move. We believe this further supports the continuation of the prior uptrend. We expect, last week’s sharp one-day rally was a likely preview of the pending advance.”

“As we enter the final month of calendar Q3 2026, ETH is the best performing macro asset during the quarter, 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 Lee. “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 calendar Q3 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-September. 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 28,086 ETH. Bitmine’s track record of consistent buying of crypto is unmatched by any public company in the world. Bitmine has bought ETH each and 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 has expanded 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 September 7, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 5,067,309 ($12.6 billion at $2,495 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 $386 million on an annualized basis (using 2.61% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $330 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 85% of the 5.93 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.61% (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 $1.10 billion (5-day average, as of September 4, 2026), ranking #81 in the US, behind Intuit Inc. (rank #80) and ahead of TJX Companies, Inc. (rank #82) 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., 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.

MEXC Launches “Trade Wall Street Without Walls” to Break Traditional Barriers to Stock Market Participation

74.2% of surveyed TradFi users have shifted some or all traditional asset trading activity to crypto exchanges, reflecting growing demand for more flexible market access

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today launched “Trade Wall Street, Without Walls.” The campaign highlights how crypto-native trading is reducing traditional barriers to stock market participation, including access, fees and limited trading hours. As crypto exchanges expand into traditional assets, retail users are gaining more flexible ways to access and trade global market opportunities.

The campaign comes amid a broader shift in how investors trade traditional financial assets. Recent research from MEXC and CoinGecko found that 74.2% of surveyed users with traditional finance experience had shifted some or all of their traditional asset trading activity to crypto exchanges. Among the biggest frustrations users cited with traditional brokerages were limited trading hours, at 58.8%, and high fees, at 54.7%. In contrast, 24/7 market access and more competitive fees ranked among the leading reasons users chose to move traditional asset trading activity to centralized exchanges.

The findings point to a change that goes beyond simply making more assets available on crypto platforms. Investors are not only looking for more assets. They are also looking for a different way to access and trade them. The always-on, lower-friction trading experience developed in crypto is increasingly influencing expectations across a broader financial landscape, particularly as users move more easily between crypto, stocks, commodities, tokenized assets and other markets.

“Trade Wall Street, Without Walls.” brings this shift to life through five traditional market “walls”: the Access Wall, Fee Wall, Time Wall, Capital Wall and Direction Wall. Together, they represent common constraints that have historically shaped retail participation in stock markets, from where and when users can trade to the costs, capital requirements and trading strategies available to them. The campaign highlights how crypto-native market infrastructure is beginning to reduce these frictions and create more flexible ways for retail users to participate in traditional financial opportunities.

On MEXC, this evolution is reflected in a growing range of stock-related products and participation models across different stages of the market. The MEXC Stock Ecosystem spans the full market lifecycle, from Pre-IPO to IPO and Post-IPO, including Pre-IPO Futures and Pre-IPO Launchpad for the Pre-IPO stage, IPO Launchpad and IPO Express for the IPO stage, and RealStocks, Tokenized Stocks, and Stock Futures for Post-IPO markets. Bringing private-market themes, public equities and derivatives into a more integrated trading environment. Selected products also offer features such as 0-fee trading, USDT-based participation, extended or around-the-clock market access, and the ability to take both long and short positions, giving users more flexibility in how they respond to different market conditions. Product availability and trading conditions may vary by region and product.

“The biggest change is not simply that more traditional assets are becoming available on crypto platforms. It is that the way retail users access and trade those assets is changing,” said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. “For decades, traditional markets have been shaped by boundaries around access, time, cost, capital and direction. Crypto-native infrastructure gives us an opportunity to rethink many of those constraints and build a market experience that is more open, flexible and responsive to the needs of retail users.”

The shift also reflects a broader convergence between crypto and traditional finance. As centralized exchanges evolve from crypto-only trading venues into broader multi-asset platforms, the distinction between where users trade crypto and where they access traditional assets is becoming less rigid. For retail investors, this means the value of a platform is increasingly defined not only by the number of assets it offers, but also by how easily users can move across different markets, respond to opportunities and manage capital within a single trading environment.

At the same time, reducing structural barriers is only one part of broader market participation. As crypto-native users gain access to more stocks and traditional financial products, the ability to understand different markets, evaluate opportunities and assess risk becomes increasingly important. Alongside “Trade Wall Street, Without Walls.”, MEXC is also introducing Opportunity Compass, a global markets education initiative designed to help users build a more systematic understanding of asset classes, market drivers, emerging financial models and risk in an increasingly multi-asset environment.

About MEXC

Founded in 2018, MEXC is a leading global multi-asset trading platform built as your 0-fee gateway to infinite opportunities. Serving users across 170+ markets, MEXC provides simple and efficient access to crypto, stocks, tokenized assets, derivatives, and a growing range of TradFi-linked opportunities through one account and one gateway.

With 0 trading fees, deep liquidity, broad asset coverage, and a high-performance trading experience, MEXC is designed for retail users who want to discover earlier, act faster, and trade with fewer barriers. As crypto and traditional finance continue to converge, MEXC is committed to making global opportunities more accessible, helping users trade freely and MEXCmize every opportunity.

Meritz Securities Partners with Benzinga to Bring Real-Time U.S. Market Intelligence to Korean Investors

Stock News API and Bulls Say Bears Say API bring real-time market news and analyst sentiment to MOUM, Meritz Securities’ next-generation AI investment platform

DETROIT and SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Benzinga, a leading provider of real-time financial news and market intelligence, today announced that Meritz Securities has added Benzinga’s Stock News API and Bulls Say Bears Say API to its investing platform, bringing real-time market news and analyst sentiment insights directly into the trading experience for South Korean investors.

Meritz, one of South Korea’s leading securities firms, continues to expand the market data available across its platform as more Korean investors look to trade U.S. equities and other global markets. As a result, the relationship gives Meritz users access to Benzinga’s real-time news coverage alongside concise, balanced analyst sentiment, all within a single experience.

The integration is part of Meritz Securities’ broader strategy to build MOUM as a next-generation AI investment platform by bringing together leading global market data, financial content and AI capabilities into a unified investment experience.

Benzinga’s Stock News API delivers real-time headlines and breaking news across U.S. equities, covering earnings, analyst actions, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory developments, and other market-moving events as they happen. Similarly, the Bulls Say Bears Say API distills analyst research into concise bullish and bearish summaries for a given stock, helping investors quickly understand both sides of the investment case without wading through dense reports.

Through this integration, Meritz is bringing both feeds directly into MOUM, giving users a faster path from headline to context. Instead of piecing together news and analyst opinion from multiple sources, Meritz investors can view real-time coverage and sentiment summaries side by side, right where they are already making decisions.

By combining real-time market intelligence with AI-powered analysis and trading capabilities, Meritz aims to create a more seamless path from information discovery and analysis to investment decision-making within a single platform.

The relationship also marks one of Benzinga’s first direct data integrations with a major South Korean brokerage, reflecting the growing demand among Asian investors for the same real-time market intelligence long relied on by U.S. and European trading platforms. For Benzinga, it is a meaningful step in expanding its data footprint across Asia’s fast-growing retail investing market.

“Meritz is one of the most respected names in Korean finance, and bringing our real-time news and sentiment data to their platform reflects the growing appetite among Korean investors for the same market intelligence used by trading platforms globally,” said Jae Hur, Head of Asia at Benzinga. “Stock News and Bulls Say Bears Say give Meritz users a faster, clearer read on what’s moving the market and why.”

“Our vision for MOUM goes beyond simply adding individual investment tools. We are building a next-generation Agentic AI investment platform that connects market data, financial content, AI-powered intelligence and trading into a single, seamless investment experience,” said Jangwook Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Inno Biz Division, overseeing Meritz Securities’ platform business. “Our collaboration with Benzinga is an important part of that strategy, and we will continue to expand our global ecosystem by working with leading technology, data and financial partners around the world.”

As Korean investors increasingly seek direct access to U.S. markets, real-time context has become as important as raw price data. The addition of Stock News and Bulls Say Bears Say reflects that broader shift, giving Meritz a deeper layer of market intelligence to offer its growing base of investors.

More broadly, the collaboration reflects Meritz Securities’ strategy to connect Korean investors with world-class global investment infrastructure, content and technology through MOUM, while continuing to expand partnerships across the global financial ecosystem.

Wondrlab Launches WondrAgents, India’s First Unified Agentic Operating System for End-to-End Influencer Marketing

–  Pioneering an Agentic Operating System for influencer marketing, WondrAgents powers Wondrlab’s influencer SaaS platforms, OPA & Opportune

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wondrlab today unveiled WondrAgents, India’s first unified Agentic Operating System for influencer marketing, powering its influencer marketing platforms OPA and Opportune. Built as a network of seven specialised AI agents, WondrAgents seamlessly executes the complete influencer campaign lifecycle, from campaign brief and creator discovery to outreach, negotiation, contracting, content evaluation and ROI reporting, helping brands reduce campaign go-live time by up to 70% while delivering measurable business outcomes.

The launch marks the next evolution of Wondrlab’s ‘Total Influence’ vision, bringing together years of influencer marketing expertise, proprietary creator intelligence, campaign learnings and machine learning into a unified operating system that enables brands to execute influencer campaigns with greater speed, transparency and precision.

Unlike conventional AI tools that automate individual tasks, WondrAgents is designed as a unified ‘Agentic Operating System’ where seven specialised AI agents work alongside campaign teams to power every stage of campaign execution. Each agent is trained to optimise against a brand’s campaign objectives, from campaign planning and creator discovery to negotiation, content evaluation and performance reporting, while human teams continue to lead strategy, creativity and relationship management.

The launch addresses one of the industry’s biggest challenges, where brands continue to rely on disconnected tools, manual coordination and fragmented reporting. By bringing the entire influencer marketing workflow onto a single unified intelligent operating system across OPA and Opportune, our SaaS platforms, WondrAgents enables greater operational efficiency, complete campaign visibility and continuous optimisation throughout the campaign lifecycle.

Speaking about the launch, Vandana Verma, Co-Founder, Wondrlab Network, said, “Since 2020, we’ve built one of India’s largest influencer marketing ecosystems through OPA and Opportune. Every campaign we’ve executed has added to the rich knowledge base of creator intelligence, brand insights and campaign learnings. WondrAgents is built on that proprietary knowledge base. We’ve invested significantly in training these agents with years of experience, and we will continue investing in agentic AI because we believe the future of influencer marketing lies in humans and AI agents working together to deliver faster execution, smarter decisions and better outcomes for brands.”

Shidush Contractor, Chief Operating Officer, OPA & Opportune, added, “We’re excited to introduce India’s first unified Agentic Operating System for influencer marketing. WondrAgents is built to tackle the toughest campaign briefs, bringing together great minds, specialised AI agents and years of campaign intelligence to execute faster and smarter. From evaluating creators and generating personalised scripts to optimising campaign performance, the platform takes care of the operational complexity, allowing teams to focus on ideas, creativity and strategic decisions. This isn’t about replacing people; it’s about combining human intelligence with AI agents to deliver greater transparency, measurable impact and a new level of efficiency for brands.”

Today, every influencer campaign starts almost from scratch, with campaign knowledge scattered across multiple tools, platforms and teams. WondrAgents change that by building a living intelligence library for every brand. Every campaign enriches this proprietary knowledge base with creator insights, category intelligence, audience behaviour and performance data, enabling the agents to automatically apply those learnings to future campaigns. The more brands use WondrAgents, the smarter, faster and more effective their influencer marketing becomes.

The agents have been developed by BigStep, Wondrlab Group’s software engineering and technology company, bringing its expertise in AI, automation and digital engineering to the platform

About Wondrlab

Launched in 2020, Wondrlab is a technology-led marketing transformation network that helps brands build, grow and monetise through an integrated full-funnel ecosystem. Its network includes creative agency What’s Your Problem; influencer marketing platforms OPA and Opportune; performance marketing agency Neon; CRM and data analytics company Cymetrix; software engineering company BigStep; Hector, an AI-powered commerce media optimisation platform; education platform Wisr; and European digital marketing agency WebTalk.

MEXC Launches Opportunity Compass as 53.7% of Crypto Users Move Into Stocks but Knowledge Gaps Remain

Five-season program brings together industry partners to help crypto-native users better understand global markets, asset classes and emerging financial opportunities

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today officially launched Opportunity Compass, a global markets education initiative aimed at advancing the market understanding as crypto and traditional finance become increasingly connected. Guided by the core message, “Know the Market, Know Your Opportunities,” the initiative is designed to help crypto-native users build a more systematic understanding of traditional and crypto markets while bringing together perspectives from across the broader financial and digital asset ecosystem.

The initiative comes as crypto users increasingly look beyond digital assets. Recent research from MEXC and CoinGecko found that trading volumes for traditional financial assets on crypto exchanges reached $1.45 trillion in the first half of 2026, nearly 10 times the total recorded for all of 2025.

Key findings from MEXC’s user survey include:

• 53.7% of respondents have already invested in stocks, showing that stock investing is becoming increasingly relevant to crypto-native users.
• Among users who have not used stock investment products, 43.1% cited insufficient investment knowledge as a key barrier.
• Among users who previously used stock products but stopped, 48.3% said limited investment knowledge was one of the reasons they discontinued participation.
• Among current stock investors, 44% said individual stock price movements influenced their participation, while 34% pointed to the AI boom as a key driver.

The findings suggest that access is expanding faster than understanding. As crypto-native users move across stocks, ETFs, commodities and digital assets, many are still developing the knowledge needed to understand market cycles, industry trends, asset behavior and investment risk. Greater access to financial opportunities therefore creates a growing need for more structured market education.

“Finding opportunities is important. What matters even more is having a systematic way to understand, evaluate and act on them,” said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. “As financial markets become more connected and users gain exposure to a wider range of assets, they need more than access alone. Opportunity Compass is designed to help users understand what drives different markets, evaluate opportunities and risks, and ultimately build their own framework for navigating a more complex financial landscape.”

Building Market Education with Industry Participants

Opportunity Compass is designed not only as an MEXC education program, but as a broader industry education initiative that brings together perspectives from across the evolving financial ecosystem. The group of participating partners includes xStocks by PAYWARD, Plume, Tether, Pyth, Optimism, CMT Digital and RootData, representing different parts of the digital asset and financial ecosystem.

With participation from industry partners alongside MEXC’s educational content, Opportunity Compass aims to connect foundational market knowledge with broader industry perspectives, helping users better understand both established markets and the emerging models shaping the evolution of global finance.

Featuring five seasons and 30 episodes, Opportunity Compass takes users from understanding global markets and major asset classes to interpreting macroeconomic and industry trends, exploring emerging financial models and evaluating market opportunities. Rather than focusing on individual products or investment recommendations, the program aims to help users understand how markets work and what drives opportunities and risks.

From Seeing Opportunities to Understanding Markets

• Season 1: See the Global Opportunities. Understand the broader global financial market landscape and how different markets connect.
• Season 2: Understand Asset Value. Explore what gives stocks, gold, commodities, ETFs, Bitcoin and other assets value.
• Season 3: Decode Market Trends. Understand how interest rates, inflation, market cycles, earnings and industry trends such as AI and semiconductors shape markets.
• Season 4: Explore Emerging Opportunities. Explore tokenized assets, real-world assets, prediction markets and other emerging financial models at the intersection of crypto and traditional finance.
• Season 5: Become an Opportunity Explorer. Build an independent framework for understanding markets, evaluating opportunities and assessing risk.

Opportunity Compass will roll out progressively from September through December 2026, with new episodes released regularly across all five seasons through a dedicated Opportunity Compass education hub.

Extending MEXC’s Infinite Opportunities philosophy into education, Opportunity Compass aims to help users not only discover more financial opportunities, but also develop the knowledge needed to understand and evaluate them more independently.

All Opportunity Compass content is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.

About MEXC

Founded in 2018, MEXC is a leading global multi-asset trading platform built as your 0-fee gateway to infinite opportunities. Serving users across 170+ markets, MEXC provides simple and efficient access to crypto, stocks, tokenized assets, derivatives, and a growing range of TradFi-linked opportunities through one account and one gateway.
