Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR 11.28%), which is known in the cryptocurrency world as a top holder of Ethereum, had some good news to report on what was already a fine Monday for crypto stocks generally. It also benefited handsomely from its association with a hot peer company and the altcoin in which that business specializes.
On the back of an operational update detailing its holdings in Ethereum and other assets, investors traded the stock up by more than 11% on the day.

On Monday morning, it took the wraps off its latest digest, revealing that as of the end of September, it held just over 2.83 million Ethereum (worth a total of roughly $13.3 billion at the current price). In addition to that anchor holding, Bitmine also possessed 192 Bitcoin and a $113 million stake in Eightco Holdings.
The Ethereum figure buttressed Bitmine's status as the holder of the largest Ethereum treasury on this planet.
