ETH is back above $2,500 and BMNR is up 3.6% today.
And even after that move, BMNR still hasn’t reached NAV.
ETH: $2,506.30
BMNR: $24.76
NAV/share: $25.96
mNAV: 95.4%
That still leaves BMNR trading at roughly a 4.6% discount to NAV.
How long does that discount last if ETH keeps moving higher?

Defiance just announced a distribution for its BMNR Option Income ETF:
$YBMN Defiance BMNR Option Income ETF: $0.1314
Payable August 13, 2026

from here, BMNR can lag ETH if BitMine funded its latest 32,447 ETH addition with enough common shares to cut ETH per share. the addition grew BitMine's stack 0.558% and equaled 5.9 basis points of seven-day gross ETH volume, so the buy does not explain ETH's 31.37% weekly rally by itself. when ETH rose from $1,893 to $2.44k, BitMine's old stack gained $3.18b, or 91% of the $3.5b portfolio increase, and the company omitted its current share count and funding source.
NEW: 📈 Fundstrat's Tom Lee says his thesis that BMNR will outperform Ethereum in August and September is "playing out."
$BMNR is currently up 68% since the June lows.
$BMNR is doing exactly what an ETH treasury equity should be doing today.
ETH: +2.11%
BMNR: +5.66%
And even after that move, BMNR still hasn’t reached NAV.
ETH: $2,459.74
BMNR: $24.10
NAV/share: $24.97
mNAV: 96.5%
That still leaves BMNR trading at roughly a 3.5% discount to common NAV.
Does parity finally break today?

Norway's sovereign wealth fund disclosed an $81.9M BitMine position at June 30
Norges Bank reported 6,151,062 BMNR shares in half-year holdings published Wednesday. The stake was absent from its December filing and gives the fund equity exposure to Ethereum rather than direct ethereum:native.
BitMine joined the Russell 1000 on June 26, and neither disclosure shows whether index inclusion drove the buy. @BitMNR reported 5.81 million ETH as of August 9.
