Ethereum Staking Revenue Climbs With MAVAN Launch

A major part of the treasury strategy now centers on staking. 

Bitmine said 3,142,643 ETH is currently staked, worth around $6.3 billion. That means roughly 66% of the company’s ETH treasury now generates yield.

The company recently launched MAVAN, short for Made in America VAlidator Network. According to the release, the staking platform first supports Bitmine’s treasury needs but plans to expand toward institutions and custodians.

At the current staking pace, annualized revenue has reached $177 million. 

Lee said full deployment of all ETH through MAVAN and partner validators could raise yearly staking rewards to $266 million. The company added that the seven-day staking yield stood at 2.80%, closely matching the CESR benchmark.

Earlier Report Showed Ethereum’s Weak Q1

As earlier reported by LiveBitcoinNews, Ethereum closed the first quarter of 2026 down 32.8% despite record network activity. That earlier report showed how stronger usage failed to support price during the quarter.

The data shared showed that March posted a modest 1.3% gain. 

However, the recovery followed deeper losses from January and February. Ethereum traded as high as $3,385 during the quarter before falling to a low of $1,760.

That backdrop makes Bitmine’s latest treasury move more notable. 

The company increased purchases during a period when ETH still traded under pressure from liquidations, layer-2 capital shifts, and macro uncertainty. 

Consequently, the latest accumulation suggests continued institutional conviction even after Ethereum’s difficult quarter.

Bitmine said it remains the largest ETH treasury globally and the second-largest crypto treasury overall, behind Strategy Inc. 

With the 5% supply target now in sight, its Ethereum accumulation strategy continues to stand out in the public markets.
