BitMine Submits Application for 9.5% Series A Preferred Stock Issuance
BitMine Immersion Technologies has submitted a public offering application to issue 3 million shares of 9.5% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock.
Each share has a par value of $100, with a total scale of approximately $300 million. The dividend accumulates at an annual rate of 9.5% and, if declared, will be paid in cash weekly.
The raised funds are planned to be used for increasing ETH holdings, expanding the MAVAN staking platform, and general corporate purposes.

BitMine previously rapidly accumulated ETH reserves through multiple ATM common stock expansions (from $2 billion to $24.5 billion), holding over 5.42 million ETH by 2026, accounting for about 4.5% of the circulating supply, and established the institutional-grade staking platform MAVAN. This shift to perpetual preferred stock issuance continues its path of building a crypto treasury with high-leverage capital.
In terms of capital strategy, BitMine attracts income-focused investors through high-dividend preferred stock, directly injecting the raised funds into increasing ETH holdings and staking, with expected annual staking returns of $276-296 million, far exceeding the required dividend coverage ratio, similar to MicroStrategy's strategy of rolling financing Bitcoin through convertible bonds/preferred stock to achieve a crypto-optimized balance sheet.
Similar to MicroStrategy's multiple debt/equity financings to expand holdings during Bitcoin bull markets, BitMine is in an expansion phase transitioning from Bitcoin mining to an Ethereum treasury + staking infrastructure, establishing differentiation in the competitive landscape of crypto company financial reports.
Essentially, this is about capital concentration: crypto companies lock in long-term low-cost capital through structured preferred stock, with the mechanism being high dividends attracting fixed-income capital pools, while ETH staking returns cover costs, transforming external equity dilution pressure into treasury asset growth, achieving a strong binding between company valuation and underlying crypto asset prices.

High dividends are not a cost, but leverage to unlock assets.
When returns cover dividends by more than ten times, financing becomes a money printing machine.
The success of treasury strategies lies not in how much is held, but in the financing structure and return matching.
