The Alchemy of 5% case, 20 quarters out
Model as of
Each segment is projected from its own operating driver, rolled up into consolidated cash flow, and discounted back to a fair value per share. The assumptions below are editable — change them and every number on this page moves with them.
READ THE SCENARIO SPREAD AS A WARNING, NOT AS COMFORT. This is a digital-asset treasury company, so 93.7% of the base case's $26.92 is the ETH mark sitting in net cash, and net cash is the one input the scenarios cannot move. Bear to Bull spans $26.27 to $27.89 - six percent - while the thing that actually decides the answer sits outside that range entirely: hold everything else and put ETH at $2,000 and fair value is $21.95; put it at $3,000 and it is $31.73. A narrow spread here means the model is honest about what it can compute, not that the stock is safe. WHAT NET CASH CONTAINS. $15.22bn: the $15.6bn of crypto, cash and marketable securities and 'moonshot' stakes the company disclosed as of 30 August 2026, less the $350m stated amount of the 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred (3.5m shares at $100), less $30.1m of total liabilities from the 31 May 2026 balance sheet. There is no debt of any kind. Deducting the preferred at stated amount is deliberately conservative - its perpetual $33.25m coupon discounted at 15% is worth $222m, and the shares quoted around $86 in mid-July, roughly $301m. THE DOUBLE-COUNT QUESTION, STATED OPENLY. The model values the ETH at its mark AND the staking rewards it earns. A direct holder of ETH could stake it too, so this only adds value if the spot price does not already capitalise the holder's own yield. The position taken here is that BitMine's equity is worth ETH plus yield MINUS the costs a direct holder never pays - roughly $150m a year of overhead and a $33m preferred coupon, both of which are in the projection. Disagree with that and the answer is nearer $25 than $27. It is written down so it can be argued with rather than swallowed. FISCAL LABELS ARE FISCAL. The year ends 31 AUGUST, so 2026 Q1 ended 30 November 2025 and the basis quarter 2026 Q3 ended 31 May 2026. And on 9 July 2026 the board moved the year end to 31 December after the year ending 31 August 2026, with a four-month transition period on Form 10-KT, so projected quarter two stands in for September-December 2026 and labels from 2027 Q1 are calendar quarters. WHAT IS REPORTED AND WHAT IS NOT. Every quarterly figure in both verticals is a reported number: the fiscal 2026 Q1 and Q2 10-Qs each print the staking line and the individual legacy lines, and the Q3 10-Q prints all five disaggregated lines on the face of the income statement. They reconcile to consolidated revenue exactly in all seven quarters - $2,293, $11,041 and $46,535 thousand for the three fiscal 2026 quarters. Nothing is apportioned and nothing is estimated. The one thing that is NOT disclosed is the split of the basis quarter's $5,726 thousand cost of sales between the two lines; the 89.7% staking margin is derived from the Q1 and Q2 splits (staking cost was 3.0% of staking revenue in both) adjusted upward for the Q3 MD&A's statement that the cost ratio rose after the Pier Two acquisition, and the legacy line's -33.3% margin is measured directly from the Q2 disaggregation. NO SEASONALITY, AND THAT IS A FINDING. Ethereum pays rewards every 6.4-minute epoch with no calendar mechanism, and the staking line has only three non-zero quarters, so no centred four-quarter moving average can be formed. The legacy line has seven quarters but yields at most one moving-average ratio per quarter index and none for Q2, so signal cannot be separated from spread; its visible shape is contract timing - a machine lease that expired 31 December 2025 and a consulting contract that ran to 15 May 2026 - not a season. Neither vertical carries factors. TERMINAL VALUE. The present value of the terminal is 51.8% of the $1.02bn operating enterprise value but only 3.3% of fair value, because net cash dwarfs it. Exit multiple from 4x to 16x moves fair value $26.48 to $27.80. EXCHANGE. Common stock and the BMNP preferred both trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The common uplisted from the NYSE American on 9 April 2026; the 8-A12B of 10 June 2026 registers the preferred, not the common.

Where each case comes from
Bear case — primary sources
The primary sources this case is built from — filings, calls and posts. Where they are claims by an interested party rather than disclosures, every number in the Bear column is what happens if they are taken at face value.
The disclosed yield risk
- Jul 14, 2026 As the total amount of Ethereum staked on the network increases, the per-validator reward rate generally decreases, which could result in a material reduction in the yield we earn on our staked assets over time.
- Jul 14, 2026 For the three months ended May 31, 2026, revenue from staking and validation was $45.7 million, representing 98% of total revenue of $46.5 million for the quarter.
Bull case — primary sources
The primary sources this case is built from — filings, calls and posts. Where they are claims by an interested party rather than disclosures, every number in the Bull column is what happens if they are taken at face value.
What full staking is worth, in the company's own numbers
- Aug 31, 2026 At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $396 million on an annualized basis (using 2.67% 7-day BMNR yield)
- Aug 31, 2026 Annualized staking revenues are now projected at $340 million. And this 5.1 million ETH is 86% of the 5.90 million ETH held by Bitmine.
Alchemy of 5% case — primary sources
The primary sources this case is built from — filings, calls and posts. Where they are claims by an interested party rather than disclosures, every number in the Alchemy of 5% column is what happens if they are taken at face value.
How close the 5% goal is
- Aug 31, 2026 Bitmine is 98% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 15 months
- Aug 31, 2026 Bitmine owns 4.9% of the total ETH coin supply of 120.7 million
- Aug 31, 2026 As of August 30, 2026 at 3:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,901,112 ETH at $2,511 per ETH (per Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 211 Bitcoin (BTC), $180 million stake in Beast Industries, $81 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash & marketable securities of $541 million.
From cash flow to fair value
| Present value of free cash flow, 20 quarters | $562M |
| Terminal-year revenue | $376M |
| Terminal-year EBITDA | $160M |
| Exit multiple, on ebitda | 12.0x |
| Terminal value | $1.92B |
| Discounted at 13.0% a year, terminal value becomes | $1.04B |
| Share of enterprise value from the terminal | 65% |
| Enterprise value | $1.60B |
| Net cash | $15.22B |
| Equity value | $16.82B |
| Shares | 0.60B |
| Fair value per share | $27.89 |
| Against the deployed price of $24.20, as of | +15% |
8x terminal EBITDA on a validator business, and it barely matters. Almost none of this company's value is in the projection: net asset value is $15.22bn - the $15.6bn of ETH, bitcoin, cash and private stakes the company disclosed on 31 August 2026, less the $350m preferred stated amount and $30m of other liabilities - which is $25.23 a share, or 93.7% of the base case's $26.92. Everything the discounted cash flow adds is MAVAN: about $85m a quarter at 89.7% gross margin, less corporate overhead running at 43.5% of revenue, discounted at 15% to an 8x exit. That is $1.02bn of enterprise value, or $1.69 a share. Take the exit multiple all the way from 4x to 16x and fair value moves from $26.48 to $27.80 - $1.32, less than 5%. Take the discount rate from 20% to 10% and it moves 55 cents. Now move the ETH price: at $2,000 fair value is $21.95 and at $3,000 it is $31.73. Every slider on this page argues over about a dollar; the asset none of them touches is worth twenty-five. The 15% discount rate is not a guess - BitMine sold perpetual preferred at $80 against a $100 stated amount and a 9.50% coupon on 10 June 2026, an 11.875% cost of capital observed in a real transaction, and the common ranks behind it.
Read the other way round: at $24.20 the market is paying -13.7x terminal-year revenue, holding every other assumption on this page fixed. That is the number to argue about.
