Bitmine posts $6.3 billion fiscal net loss as ether price slide hits holdings
Bitmine Immersion Technologies swings to a multibillion-dollar annual loss in the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2026, as a sharp drop in ether erodes the value of its crypto treasury. The reversal comes after the company reported net income a year earlier and highlights how heavily its earnings and balance sheet remain tied to ETH market moves.
Highlights
- Bitmine reports a $6.3 billion net loss for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2026, driven by $6.23 billion in unrealized fair value losses on digital assets as ETH drops 44%.
- Bitmine holds 5,901,837 ETH ($14.6 billion) and 211 BTC ($16.6 million) as of August, with ongoing ETH price swings expected to cause further earnings volatility.
- Bitmine raises $13.2 billion via 395.1 million share sales, buys back 20.8 million shares, and states 97% of its $124.8 million revenue comes from staking and validation activities.
Filing details and treasury exposure
As reported by The Block, citing Bitmine's Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, nearly $6.23 billion of the company's net loss comes from unrealized fair value losses on digital asset holdings. Bitmine reports a net loss of more than $6.3 billion for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2026, compared with net income of $348.6 million in the prior fiscal year.At the end of August, the company holds 5,901,837 ETH with a fair value of $14.6 billion, along with 211 BTC valued at $16.6 million. Ether falls about 44% during the fiscal year, dropping from roughly $4,390 to $2,466, driving the markdown in the value of Bitmine's holdings.
Bitmine says its digital assets are measured at fair value, with changes in value recognized in earnings. The company says shifts in ETH prices are expected to continue causing significant volatility in reported results, stockholders' equity and overall financial condition.
Capital activity and revenue dependence
During the fiscal year, Bitmine sells 395.1 million shares of common stock through its at-the-market offering program and raises $13.2 billion in gross proceeds. The company also repurchases 20.8 million shares at an average price of $17 each.Bitmine reports $124.8 million in annual revenue for the period, with staking and validation contributing 97% of total revenue. The company says the decline in ETH's value also hurts staking revenue because rewards are paid in the cryptocurrency.
Despite the paper losses, Bitmine continues buying ether. In a Monday press release, the company says it has accumulated 6,070,092 ETH, equal to 4.97% of the token's supply, and Chairman Tom Lee says Bitmine plans to stop accumulating once it reaches its "Alchemy of 5%" target set when it launched its Ethereum treasury strategy in June 2025.
