Bitmine Immersion Technologies added 32,447 Ether (ETH) last week, extending its weekly buying streak to about 14 months. Its total holdings now stand at roughly 5.84 million ETH, representing nearly 4.8% of Ethereum's circulating supply and bringing it close to its 5% ownership goal. The company has staked about 87% of its ETH holdings. This accumulation coincided with a strong market rally. Ether broke above $2,500 for the first time since January, gaining over 32% following a U.S. Treasury announcement regarding bond purchases. The price rebound has significantly reduced Bitmine's paper losses on its ETH investments, which exceed $19.5 billion. These unrealized losses have narrowed to below $5 billion from over $8.4 billion roughly a week ago, illustrating the volatility of managing large digital asset treasuries.

Tom Lee’s Bitmine Immersion Technologies continued its accumulation of Ether last week, adding to its holdings as the cryptocurrency staged a sharp breakout following a prolonged downturn.

The company disclosed Monday that it purchased 32,447 Ether (ETH) last week, bringing its total holdings to 5,847,611 ETH, or roughly 4.8% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. Bitmine has acquired ETH every week since launching its Ethereum treasury strategy on June 30, 2025, extending its buying streak to roughly 14 months.

The company’s NYSE-traded shares were up about 8.7% to open the week, poised to extend their almost 28% gains over the past six months.

Bitmine is now 97% of the way toward its stated goal of owning 5% of the ETH supply. It has also staked 5.07 million ETH, representing about 87% of its holdings, and reported combined crypto, cash, securities and other investments of $14.9 billion.

The latest purchase coincided with a sharp rally across Ether and the broader cryptocurrency market. ETH has outperformed Bitcoin since last Wednesday, when the US Treasury announced plans to double its monthly purchases of certain longer-dated US Treasurys to $4 billion from $2 billion beginning next month.

Ether has gained more than 32% since the announcement, breaking above $2,500 for the first time since January, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Ether price rebound cuts Bitmine’s paper losses

Bitmine’s aggressive Ether purchases during the market downturn left the company sitting on steep unrealized losses as ETH prices continued to fall. However, the cryptocurrency’s recent recovery has significantly narrowed that shortfall.

Bitmine has invested more than $19.5 billion in its Ether treasury, with its paper losses falling to below $5 billion from more than $8.4 billion roughly a week ago, according to DropsTab data.

Deel and Mesh Launch Secure Payroll in Stablecoins

Deel and Mesh have partnered to enable global payroll payments in stablecoins. Deel, an international HR platform, integrates with Mesh's digital asset payment infrastructure to facilitate direct and secure salary transfers to employees' verified cryptocurrency wallets and exchange accounts. This integration aims to reduce errors like sending funds to incorrect addresses or using the wrong blockchain network by verifying account ownership across over 300 crypto wallets and exchanges. Mesh highlights that as more employees opt to be paid in digital assets, such account verification becomes increasingly crucial for secure stablecoin payrolls. The partnership seeks to make these payments safer for both workers and companies. This move is part of Mesh's broader efforts to develop its payment infrastructure, including launching the Mesh Alliance Program for corporate payment system compatibility, introducing the AI-powered Mesh Wallet for stablecoin operations, and joining initiatives like Paxos's Global Dollar Network and partnerships with AMINA Bank and Rain.

AIF and Digital Asset to Launch RISE Pilot Program on Canton

The American Idea Foundation (AIF) and Digital Asset are collaborating to launch pilot programs for RISE (Resources for Independence, Stability, and Employment) in several U.S. states. The initiative will utilize Digital Asset's Canton blockchain network as its technological foundation. The RISE program aims to streamline the process of receiving multiple government benefits, which currently have separate conditions, payment schedules, and reporting requirements. It plans to consolidate several types of social assistance into monthly or bi-monthly payments. A key feature is the automatic adjustment of payment amounts based on a family's income, including when a member starts a job. The system will also incorporate identity verification, fraud protection, mobile access, and programmable rules for fund usage. The Canton network will provide the infrastructure for transaction processing, access management, payment condition configuration, and distribution oversight. Authorized government agencies, non-profit caseworkers, and independent researchers will have access to transaction and compliance data. The initial pilots will evaluate the program's impact on employment, income, benefit receipt, education, housing stability, and other family economic indicators. The findings will guide decisions on future development, scaling, or modifications to the RISE program.

PeaqOS and World ID Integrate ZK Proofs into Autonomous Robots

The integration of PeaqOS and World ID now allows autonomous machines to verify they are interacting with real, unique individuals without collecting names, photos, or other personal data. This update, available via robotic.sh, enables connected devices to directly request and verify World ID proofs. The system leverages zero-knowledge technology, letting a person prove they are human while maintaining the privacy of their identity. This addresses a key challenge for operators of delivery robots, shared machines, and autonomous systems: how to authenticate a user as genuine without relying on insecure PINs, pickup codes, or traditional identity checks that require personal data collection. Instead of obtaining identifying information, a device receives a cryptographic proof that the user is a real person. PeaqOS acts as a coordination layer, allowing devices to utilize World ID via decentralized identifiers and a device marketplace. A robot can request verification, receive a zero-knowledge proof, and register an auditable record of the interaction—all without exposing underlying personal data. The system also supports uniqueness verification, enabling machines to enforce rules like "one item per person" without maintaining user identity databases. A demonstrated use case involves autonomous medicine delivery: a patient verifies via the World App when placing an order, a pharmacist verifies before loading the medication, and the patient verifies again upon delivery so the robot can confirm the recipient is linked to the order before unlocking the compartment. Similarly, promotional robots could ensure one item per person, and shared vending machines could grant access to verified individuals without requiring accounts or personal data. This integration for PeaqOS-powered robots and devices minimizes the identity information collected or stored while allowing autonomous systems to confirm they are interacting with real humans.

Bitmine Maintains ETH Buying Streak for 14 Months After Surpassing $2.5K

BitMine Immersion Technologies, led by Tom Lee, continued its sustained accumulation of Ethereum last week, purchasing 32,447 ETH. The company has now been buying ETH weekly for about 14 months, since launching its treasury reserve strategy in June 2025. Its total holdings have reached 5.85 million ETH, representing roughly 4.8% of Ethereum's circulating supply and nearing its stated goal of 5%. The firm has also staked 5.07 million ETH, approximately 87% of its assets. The latest purchase coincided with a sharp market-wide rally. ETH surged over 32% after the US Treasury announced plans to increase its monthly purchases of long-term bonds, pushing the price above $2,500 for the first time since January. This price recovery has significantly reduced BitMine's substantial paper losses on its $19.5+ billion ETH treasury investment. These losses have narrowed to under $5 billion from over $8.4 billion just a week ago. Meanwhile, BitMine's stock on the NYSE has risen nearly 28% over the past six months.
