Bitmine Immersion Technologies, a company known for its Ethereum treasury, increased its total reserves to 6,051,933 ETH with a new purchase of 10,452 ETH last week. According to the company, this amount corresponds to approximately 4.95% of Ethereum’s circulating supply.

Bitmine estimates that the current staking level could generate approximately $318 million in revenue on an annualized basis. It is stated that if the entire ETH reserve were staked, the estimated revenue could reach $368 million.
