Dec. 15, 2025 — BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: BMNR) ended Monday’s regular session sharply lower, then steadied slightly in after-hours trading as investors digested a fresh Ethereum (ETH) treasury update and a new SEC filing detailing the company’s CFO transition. [1]
BMNR stock after hours today: where it closed and where it’s trading now
BMNR finished the regular session at $30.95, down $3.92 (-11.22%) on the day, with roughly 61.3 million shares traded.
In extended trading, BMNR was last indicated around $31.22 (about +0.87% versus the close) as of roughly 6:21 p.m. ET. [2]
Monday’s regular-session range was approximately $30.76 to $34.84, with a 52-week range shown near $3.20 to $161.00—a reminder of how volatile this name has been in 2025. [3]
Why BMNR moved: high-beta “ETH treasury” stocks track crypto—often with leverage
BMNR has increasingly traded like a levered proxy for Ethereum sentiment—and Monday’s pullback landed during a risk-off stretch for major crypto assets. At the time of writing, ETH was around $2,958 (down ~3.3%) and BTC around $86,207 (down ~2.0%) on the day.
That matters because BitMine’s own disclosures emphasize that its balance sheet is dominated by crypto holdings (especially ETH), meaning daily mark-to-market moves in ETH can quickly spill into equity pricing—particularly in a stock with heavy retail participation and fast-moving flows. [4]
Benzinga’s trading recap on Monday framed the decline similarly: BMNR slid even after the company published a bullish-sounding crypto holdings update, as the broader crypto tape softened. [5]
Today’s biggest headline: BitMine says it now holds 3.97 million ETH, with total crypto + cash + “moonshots” of $13.3B
Before the opening bell, BitMine issued a press release saying that as of Dec. 14 at 6:00 p.m. ET, it held:
- 3,967,210 ETH (priced in the release at $3,074/ETH)
- 193 Bitcoin
- $1.0 billion in cash
- A $38 million stake in Eightco Holdings (labeled a “moonshot”) [6]
The company also said it now controls more than 3.2% of the ETH token supply and is roughly two-thirds of the way toward its stated goal of acquiring 5% of circulating ETH—an internal target it calls the “Alchemy of 5%.” [7]
Two other details investors are keying on from the same release:
- Weekly accumulation pace: BitMine said it added 102,259 ETH in the past week. [8]
- Liquidity/volume narrative: It cited Fundstrat data claiming BMNR is among the most widely traded U.S. stocks recently, averaging about $1.9B/day in dollar volume over the past five days (ranked around #41). [9]
Investing.com’s coverage echoed those same points and highlighted BitMine’s plan to deploy its staking initiative (MAVAN) in early 2026, while also noting the company’s operations footprint (including Trinidad and Texas) as described in company materials. [10]
Second major development: the SEC 8-K detailing the CFO’s separation agreement
Also on Monday, BitMine filed an 8-K disclosing that it entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release with CFO Raymond Mow. The filing states the company entered the agreement on Dec. 11, 2025, and that Mr. Mow’s employment is expected to terminate effective Jan. 16, 2026, with a transition period in the interim. [11]
Key terms disclosed in the 8-K include a $1,137,500 lump-sum severance payment and additional lump-sum payments tied to prorated bonus elements and other arrangements, plus accelerated vesting for a portion of RSUs under the methodology described in the filing. [12]
A Reuters headline distributed via Refinitiv also flagged the same development in brief, pointing readers back to the SEC filing. [13]
Forecasts and analyst outlook: what “the Street” is modeling right now
On the forecasting side, MarketBeat’s consensus snapshot (based on three analysts) shows:
- Consensus rating:Buy (with a mix of hold/buy/strong buy)
- Consensus price target:$47.00 [14]
MarketBeat also shows the most recent listed price-target change as B. Riley lowering its target from $90 to $47 (while maintaining a “buy” designation in that entry). [15]
Separately, Yahoo Finance’s quote module shows a 1-year target estimate around $53.50 (provider-dependent and subject to change), underscoring how wide the spread is on modeled outcomes for a crypto-treasury equity. [16]
What to know before the market opens tomorrow, Dec. 16, 2025
Here are the practical, near-term factors most likely to drive BMNR premarket and at-the-open action:
1) ETH’s overnight move is the primary catalyst
Crypto trades 24/7, so large swings in ETH (and secondarily BTC) often translate into premarket gaps for BMNR. Going into Tuesday, ETH’s latest read was down on the day, which can keep pressure on crypto-linked equities if it persists overnight.
2) Expect liquidity shifts: after-hours and premarket can exaggerate moves
BMNR trades heavy volume in the regular session, but extended hours are thinner. That can make price prints more “jumpy” and less informative than the main session—especially after a double-digit down day. [17]
3) Watch for follow-through (or reversal) after today’s sharp drop
Monday’s decline was large relative to both the stock’s prior close and the day’s range. Traders will be watching whether the stock holds near the low-$30s area from Monday’s session or snaps back toward the mid-$30s where it traded earlier in the day. [18]
4) Any additional SEC filings or treasury updates can move the tape quickly
BitMine has been issuing frequent holdings updates, and Monday’s 8-K explicitly attached the operational update press release as an exhibit. Another filing, clarification, or updated crypto-holdings disclosure can impact sentiment fast—particularly in a stock that’s being treated as an ETH treasury vehicle. [19]
5) Keep key dates on the radar
Two corporate dates that may matter for positioning and narrative in the coming weeks:
- Annual shareholders meeting:Jan. 15, 2026 (Wynn Las Vegas), per the company’s press release. [20]
- CFO separation date:Jan. 16, 2026, per the 8-K transition/separation terms. [21]
And for income-focused investors tracking the 2025 dividend headline, BitMine previously disclosed an annual dividend with a payable date of Dec. 29, 2025 (with ex-dividend and record dates earlier in December). [22]
Bottom line for Tuesday’s open
After the bell on Dec. 15, BMNR is signaling a tentative stabilization in extended trading after a steep regular-session selloff—yet the stock remains fundamentally tied (in day-to-day trading terms) to Ethereum’s price action and the market’s appetite for high-volatility crypto treasury equities.
