NORWALK, Conn., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. ("Bitmine" or the "Company") (NYSE: BMNR), a Bitcoin and Ethereum network company focused on long-term crypto asset accumulation, today announced its successful uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The Company's common stock will begin trading on the NYSE at market open on April 9, 2026, under its existing ticker symbol "BMNR," following its transition from the NYSE American, where it ceased trading at the close of market on April 8, 2026.
"Today, Bitmine achieved a major milestone by being uplisted to the 'Big Board' NYSE. The NYSE is the most prestigious venerable stock exchange with a storied history. The NYSE is the envy of capital markets around the world and Bitmine is proud to be the newest company traded on this exchange," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
"We are pleased to welcome Bitmine to the New York Stock Exchange," said Chris Taylor, NYSE Group Chief Development Officer. "With its focus on advancing the Ethereum ecosystem, Bitmine is a strong addition to the NYSE community."
In addition to the uplisting, Bitmine's Board of Directors has unanimously approved an expansion of the Company's 2025 share repurchase program, increasing the total authorization from $1.0 billion to $4.0 billion. This buyback authorization is among the 10 largest buybacks announced in 2026, according to data provided by Fundstrat.com.
"Bitmine's expanded $4 billion buyback reflects our commitment to shareholders," stated Lee. "There may be a time in the future when Bitmine shares are trading below intrinsic value, and the Company wants to be in a position to accretively retire common shares."
The repurchase program, originally approved on July 25, 2025, will continue under its other existing terms. Repurchases may be executed through open market transactions in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to the Company's agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. The $4.0 billion authorization includes any shares previously repurchased under the program.
Bitmine continues to execute aggressively on its digital asset accumulation strategy. As of April 6, 2026, the Company held approximately 4.803 million ETH, representing 3.98% of the total Ethereum supply and over 79% of the way toward its stated goal of the 'Alchemy of 5%.'
