BitMine Reports Record Earnings in FY25
For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2025, BitMine reported a net income of $328.16 million, translating to fully diluted earnings per share of $13.39. This marks a standout performance for the company, even as its stock experienced recent volatility.
- BitMine’s stock is trading at $26.22.
- It is down over 24 percent in the past week.
- Despite that, the stock is still up 261 percent over the past year.
The company’s earnings show its resilience amid broader market challenges, particularly those affecting liquidity across the crypto sector.
MAVAN: Made-in-America Validator Network Coming in 2026
BitMine plans to launch MAVAN (Made-in-America Validator Network) in Q1 2026. This network will be a dedicated Ethereum staking infrastructure designed to boost the firm’s position in decentralized finance and blockchain validation.
Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee stated:
- MAVAN is being built using top-tier partners selected through a pilot testing program.
- Selection criteria included infrastructure quality, security, yield performance, and support.
- The pilot program is testing staking capabilities with a small portion of BitMine’s ETH.
BitMine aims to partner with these providers to scale MAVAN and establish itself as a leader in Ethereum staking.
Massive ETH Holdings and Aggressive Accumulation
On November 21, BitMine made another major move by buying 17,242 ETH worth $49 million, according to blockchain data firm Onchain Lens. This adds to its growing Ethereum treasury, now holding approximately 3.5 million ETH, valued at over $10 billion.
This accumulation strategy, according to the company, is funded by equity raises, existing reserves, and staking rewards. Most of the purchases are handled through OTC desks like FalconX and BitGo to avoid impacting market prices.
BitMine’s goal is to own 5 percent of Ethereum’s total supply, making it one of the most aggressive ETH buyers in the world. It currently ranks second only to Strategy in overall crypto treasury holdings.
Crypto Liquidity Concerns Continue
Tom Lee also addressed ongoing liquidity problems in the crypto market. Speaking to CNBC on November 20, he said the weakness in ETH and Bitcoin prices stems from a loss of market maker liquidity after a massive $20 billion liquidation event on October 10.
“These firms have a hole in their balance sheet,” said Lee. “They are shrinking their balance sheet further” to recover, causing a gradual downward pressure on crypto prices.
He drew comparisons to the 2022 post-FTX crash, noting that stabilization could still take “a couple more weeks” before normal market conditions return.
BitMine Declares First-Ever Dividend in Large-Cap Crypto
In a notable move, BitMine has declared a $0.01 annual dividend per share, becoming the first large-cap crypto firm to do so.
- Declaration date: November 21, 2025
- Ex-dividend date: December 5, 2025
- Record date: December 8, 2025
- Payable date: December 29, 2025
This dividend reflects BitMine’s effort to create long-term value for shareholders, reinforcing its transition into a mature digital asset management company.
Upcoming Shareholder Meeting
BitMine’s next annual shareholder meeting will be held at the Wynn Las Vegas on January 15, 2026, where more details on MAVAN and the company’s broader ETH strategy are expected to be discussed.
SQ Magazine’s Takeaway
I think BitMine is playing the long game here. While others in crypto are pulling back or panicking during price dips, BitMine is doing the opposite: building infrastructure, buying up Ethereum, and rewarding investors. That’s a bold and confident move. If their MAVAN project delivers as promised, and market liquidity normalizes, BitMine could become a benchmark in Ethereum staking. And the dividend? That’s a small but symbolic gesture that says crypto firms can act like serious, mature businesses too.
