BitMine launches ETH staking, earning millions of dollars in passive income daily in the future

Ethereum Reserve Company BitMine Announces Additional 44,000 ETH, Two-Thirds of the “5% Alchemy” Goal Achieved. BitMine Also Launches ETH Staking, Estimated to Generate Millions of Dollars in Passive Income Daily. Chairman Tom Lee Believes Year-End Tax Selling Provides Entry Opportunity and Is Confident in Long-Term Price Trends.

BitMine Buys More ETH, Total Holdings Reach 4.11 Million

Yesterday, BitMine disclosed its latest cryptocurrency holdings. As of December 28, BitMine holds assets worth $13.2 billion, including:

4,110,525 ETH

192 Bitcoin

$23 million in Eightco Holdings stock (ORBS)

$1 billion in unallocated cash

Over the past week, BitMine acquired 44,463 ETH, accounting for 3.41% of Ethereum’s total supply, two-thirds of the “5% Alchemy” goal.

Year-End Tax Selling Provides Entry Opportunity

Chairman Tom Lee stated:

“With the holiday season approaching, market activity often slows down. Last week, BitMine increased its ETH holdings by 44,463, making us still the world’s largest new ETH capital buyer.”

He also believes that tax losses at year-end lead to selling, which depresses prices of cryptocurrencies and crypto stocks. This effect is most prominent from 12/26 to 12/30.

Since the end of the year is the US tax deadline, it offers US crypto investors a rare and highly attractive “Tax-loss Harvesting” opportunity. Investors can sell cryptocurrencies at year-end to offset annual capital gains and even reduce ordinary income.

BitMine Launches ETH Staking, Expected to Generate Millions of Dollars in Passive Income Daily

Currently, BitMine is collaborating with three staking service providers, planning to launch its commercial MAVAN (Made in America Verification Network) by 2026. As of December 28, 2025, BitMine’s staked ETH totals 408,627, worth about $1.2 billion, which is only a small part of its total 4.11 million ETH holdings.

Based on CESR’s Ethereum staking yield rate of 2.81%, fully staking all ETH would generate $374 million annually, or over $1 million in passive income daily.

Staking Passive Income Helps DAT Survive Price Slumps?

During this period of low crypto prices, besides leaders like BitMine and MicroStrategy, which have advantages and community influence, most digital asset finance companies (DAT) have stopped buying or even selling tokens to survive. However, Ethereum’s staking advantage remains a form of passive income, helping DAT weather the price downturn.

Another Ethereum reserve strategy company, SharpLink, has not issued new tokens since August, only announcing weekly ETH rewards from staking on social media. Since its treasury launched, SharpLink’s accumulated staking rewards have reached 9,701 ETH.

NEW: SharpLink generated 460 $ETH in staking rewards last week.

This brings our total cumulative staking rewards to 9,701 $ETH since treasury launch.
