BitMine Immersion Technologies said it had 1,530,784 ETH staked on the Beacon Chain as of Jan. 14, 2026, which it characterized as roughly 4% of all staked Ether. The disclosure frames staking as a core treasury lever, alongside planned corporate actions and a validator-network rollout.
Two days earlier, BitMine reported total ETH holdings of 4,167,768 ETH, indicating a meaningful split between ETH kept in treasury and ETH committed to staking. At the same time, the validator entry queue was cited at about 2.3 million ETH, which was described as the highest level since August 2023, signaling heavy competition for validator capacity.

Treasury staking and supply dynamics
Using BitMine’s stated 4% share, the implied Beacon Chain total would be about 38,269,600 ETH (1,530,784 ÷ 0.04). Other snapshots referenced nearer to 36 million ETH, which underscores that aggregate staking totals can differ by data source and timing. Regardless of the exact global total, BitMine is positioning staking as both a yield strategy and a liquidity strategy, because staking shifts tokens from liquid inventory into locked participation.

What BitMine is planning next
BitMine linked the accumulation and staking posture to upcoming milestones. A shareholder vote scheduled for Jan. 15, 2026 is intended to increase authorized shares to support further ETH accumulation, and the company is preparing to launch MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network) in Q1 2026. The combined message is an aggressive treasury-staking playbook: build ETH exposure, stake a large portion, and expand validator capabilities to operationalize the strategy.
From a market-operations lens, large, concentrated staking can reduce liquid supply and increase sensitivity to flow-driven moves, while corporate treasuries face the classic trade-off of yield versus liquidity lock-up. For infrastructure teams, a large entry queue implies tighter competition for validator slots, raising the premium on execution discipline and operational reliability.
