With ether at $2,200, the marked pool is valued close to $13.80 billion, which is 2.3% lower than its market value on Tuesday. If ether moves to $2,600, the pool’s value increases to roughly $16.16 billion.

According to Yahoo Finance, there were 603.2 million shares outstanding. With a book value of $20.011, the closing price represented 1.17 times book. The projected gross-assets-per-share figure was $25.01.

Risks: Ether is available for nonstop trading, whereas BMNR common shares lack this flexibility. The spread may increase due to dilution, priority of preferred claims, and shifting private valuations. Staking rewards remain unpredictable.

Overnight, crypto markets provide the next opportunity to assess valuations. Trading on the NYSE will restart on Wednesday at 09:30 EDT NYSE calendar.

Tuesday’s closing price reflected not only an ether markdown, but also factored in execution and capital-structure risks.
