(“Bitmine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network Company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash + “moonshots” holdings totaling $14.5 billion. As of January 19th at 5:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,203,036 ETH at $3,211 per ETH (Coinbase), 193 Bitcoin (BTC), $22 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $979 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 3.48% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH). Bitmine invested $200 million into Beast Industries on January 15, 2026. This investment is expected to close this week and is not currently reflected in the ‘moonshots.’ After the closing of the transaction, the company will initially carry the Beast Industry investment at cost. “Because MrBeast and Beast Industries are privately held, investors may not be aware of the tremendous reach of MrBeast,” said Thomas ‘Tom’ Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. “Mr. Beast is the most widely watched creator in the World and each of his bi-monthly videos garner ~250 million views, and consider the Super Bowl garners 252 million views. Each of his videos is the equivalent of two Super Bowls monthly. Moreover, Mr. Beast YouTube content has a usage score of 13.1, dwarfing Disney’s 9.7 and Netflix’s 8.7. In other words, his audience is 35% than all of Disney’s media and 50% larger than Netflix. This massive reach shows MrBeast and Beast Industries is the leading content creator of our generation, with a reach and engagement unmatched with GenZ, GenAlpha and Millennials. Beast Industries is the world’s largest and most innovative creator-led platform, and we’re strongly aligned around values, vision, and long-term impact.” “In the past week, we acquired 35,268 ETH,” continued Lee. “Ethereum’s price ratio to Bitcoin, or ETHBTC, has been steadily climbing since mid-October. In our view, this reflects investors recognizing tokenization and other use cases being developed by Wall Street are being built on Ethereum. To appreciate the scale of Wall Street building on Ethereum, the Ethereum foundation listed 35 examples of major financial institutions building on Ethereum in just the past few months on this website ( https://institutions.ethereum.org/ ).” Bitmine is also pleased to announce that all 4 proposals were passed by stockholders on January 15, 2026. Each of the 4 proposed measures received overwhelming support by stockholders. Proposal 2, the vote to increase authorized shares was passed with 81% of votes cast “yes” and this represented 52.2% of total outstanding shares voting in favor of this increase. “We view the fact that 81% of votes cast favored increasing authorized shares, Proposal 2, is a message from Bitmine stockholders that they understand our accretive ETH accumulation strategy. As we have stated multiple times, we have not, nor intend to, sell shares below mNAV,” said Lee. “We appreciate the engagement and action by the Bitmine stockholder community. There are over 500,000 individual stockholders and over 52.2% of all shares outstanding voted ‘yes.’ To me, this is a testament to the engagement and trust by our stockholders. We will continue to work hard to deliver positive stockholder returns,” continued Lee. Bitmine today released its January Chairman’s message ( link ). This message is the presentation that Mr. Lee gave at the company’s 2026 annual stockholder’s meeting on January 15, 2026 at the Wynn Encore Las Vegas. As of January 19, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 1,838,003 ($5.9 billion at $3,211 per ETH). This is an increase of 581,920 in the past week. This is a fraction of the 4.2 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil ) is 2.81%. Bitmine is currently working with 3 staking providers as the company moves towards unveiling its commercial MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) in 2026. “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the ETH staking fee is $374 million annually (using 2.81% CESR), or greater than $1 million per day,” stated Tom Lee. “We continue to make progress on our staking solution known as The Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN). This will be the ‘best-in-class’ solution offering secure staking infrastructure and will be deployed in early calendar 2026,” continued Lee. Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which owns 672,497 BTC valued at $61 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. Bitmine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.5 billion (5-day average, as of January 9, 2026), ranking #60 in the US, behind American Express (rank #59) and ahead of Accenture (rank #61) among 5,704 US-listed stocks ( statista.com and Fundstrat research). The GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“the SEC”) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

The Bearable Bull: I Suspect XRP to See a Big Price Rally Soon. Here’s why

Crypto markets often shift before consensus forms. Price movements usually emerge during uncertainty, not after clarity arrives. As regulatory discussions intensify, XRP now sits at a point where anticipation appears to outweigh hesitation. This dynamic has drawn renewed attention to XRP’s positioning within the broader market cycle. That perspective gained visibility after The Bearable Bull shared his analysis on X, connecting XRP’s outlook to legislative timing, market history, and institutional activity. His commentary has resonated because it aligns with patterns traders have seen repeatedly across past crypto cycles. Markets Move Before Laws Are Finalized History shows that crypto bull runs rarely wait for regulation. Bitcoin surged years before ETF approval. Ethereum expanded long before regulators defined its status. Markets consistently price expectations rather than finalized laws. CRYPTO BILL WILL PASS IN "WEEKS" Price Before Law… Why? Because every crypto bullrun in history has happened before "Law". Crypto doesn't need "Clarity" but I would agrue that XRP has TRUE LEGAL CLARITY With record ETF Volumes I suspect XRP to see a price increase soon.… pic.twitter.com/7oVatspdV1 — The Bearable Bull (@thebearablebull) January 20, 2026 The Bearable Bull highlighted this behavior while referencing ongoing U.S. crypto legislative efforts . Although no bill has passed yet, momentum continues to build. Markets often respond to probability and direction, not legal completion. This pattern explains why price action frequently precedes policy outcomes. XRP’s Advantage in Legal Clarity XRP holds a unique position within the digital asset market. A U.S. court ruling in 2023 determined that XRP is not a security when traded on secondary markets. That decision reduced legal uncertainty that still surrounds many cryptocurrencies. This clarity carries weight for institutions. Capital typically flows toward assets with defined regulatory standing. XRP’s legal position allows investors to assess exposure with fewer unknowns, even as broader crypto regulations remain under development. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Institutional Signals and ETF Activity The digital asset market has recently recorded strong exchange-traded fund volumes. These inflows reflect growing institutional participation across regulated crypto products. While XRP lacks a U.S. spot ETF, rising ETF activity often signals broader capital rotation. Large, liquid assets tend to benefit when institutional interest increases. XRP’s deep liquidity and global market presence position it well within this environment. These conditions support the case for accelerated price discovery ahead of regulatory milestones. Time Pressure and Market Psychology Markets reward early positioning. As legislative progress appears closer, traders often act before confirmation. This behavior compresses timelines and intensifies volatility. The Bearable Bull’s outlook reflects this urgency. XRP now combines legal clarity, historical market patterns, and improving institutional signals. While uncertainty remains, the alignment of these factors suggests that the window for passive observation may be closing. If past cycles offer guidance, XRP’s next move may arrive sooner than many expect. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: is BTC About to Plummet Below $90K This Week?

Bitcoin is undergoing a decisive pullback after the strong recovery that followed the early-January reset. The price has been rejected from a major confluence area around $98,000, where higher-timeframe resistance and a key moving average cluster are. It is now rotating lower while still holding above the most important higher-low zones established during December. The current phase, therefore, appears as a test of support strength within a maturing corrective structure rather than a confirmed trend reversal. Bitcoin Price Prediction: The Daily Chart On the daily chart, Bitcoin has rolled over from the $98,000 resistance band, which coincides with the upper boundary of a rising channel structure and the vicinity of the 100-day moving average. The 200-day moving average remains overhead and downward-sloping around $105,000, confirming that the broader medium-term trend is not yet fully realigned to the upside. The Daily RSI has also retreated from overbought territory and is dropping below the 50% threshold. The first important support now sits in the $90,000 region, where the lower channel boundary and the recent bounce’s base overlap. Loss of this area on a closing basis would open the way toward the deeper demand block around $80,000, which marks the origin of the latest leg higher and the prior major accumulation zone. As long as price holds above $88,000 and reclaims the mid-$90,000s with conviction, the daily structure can still evolve into a constructive higher-low configuration, but sustained trade below $88,000 would significantly weaken that constructive bias. Source: TradingView BTC/USDT 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart shows the price is poised to test the lower boundary of the ascending channel. It has declined from the recent local high near $96,000 back into the $90,000–$91,000 area, where short-term support formed during the earlier consolidation. The 4-hour RSI has also moved into oversold territory, signalling stretched downside momentum after several consecutive red candles. If the lower boundary around $89,000–$90,000 holds, a technical rebound toward $93,000–$95,000 would be consistent with a standard retest of the broken intraday range and could help determine whether sellers retain control. On the other hand, a clean break below $89,000 with would confirm a loss of the short-term up-channel and probably invite a deeper test of the high-timeframe demand zone around $80,000. At the moment, the intraday structure reflects corrective pressure within a broader consolidation band rather than a fully developed bearish trend. Source: TradingView On-Chain Analysis Short-term holder behaviour over recent months has been characterised by persistent loss realisation. The 30-day EMA of the short-term holder SOPR has spent an extended period below its neutral threshold around 1, indicating that coins held for a relatively short duration have been spent on average at a loss. This pattern suggests that late entrants and weaker hands have been continuously exiting during the consolidation phase, absorbing downside and sideways volatility instead of aggressively defending higher prices. Historically, prolonged periods in which short-term holders realise losses while price holds above key higher-timeframe support are often associated with a “reset” of market positioning: speculative excess is reduced, ownership shifts toward stronger hands, and sensitivity to marginal new demand increases. This dynamic does not guarantee immediate continuation, and if macro demand were to weaken further, the overhang of realised losses could still weigh on price. However, the combination of structural support holding on the chart and evidence of capitulation among shorter-term participants is consistent with a late-stage corrective environment that can, once selling pressure is exhausted, provide the foundation for a subsequent impulsive advance.
