10 Stocks with Surprising Gains

3. Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSEAmerican:BMNR)

Bitmine extended its winning streak to a fifth consecutive day on Friday, adding 15.28 percent to end at $55.09 apiece after raising its Ethereum ownership to $9.21 billion and setting sights on the Worldcoin token.

In a statement, Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSEAmerican:BMNR) said it was able to surpass the 2 million ETH milestone last week, bringing its total ownership to 2.07 million ETH at an average price of $4,312 apiece.

It also holds 192 Bitcoins and unencumbered cash of $266 million.

Additionally, it recently invested $20 million in Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OCTO) to support the latter’s acquisition of Worldcoins (WLD) as its primary treasury asset.

Worldcoin, an ERC-20 token, captures a zero-knowledge proof of a person’s humanity, a critical asset in an increasingly agentic-AI world.

“BitMine wants to support and back innovative projects that create value for the Ethereum ecosystem. As an ERC-20 native token, World is aligned with Ethereum. World’s unique zero-knowledge Proof of Human credential could be essential to future trust and safety between technology platforms and the billions of human users,” said Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSEAmerican:BMNR) Chairman Thomas Lee.

“We continue to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years. Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum,” he added.
