BitMine Immersion Technologies is seeking $300 million through a preferred stock sale that would pay a 9.5% annual dividend and, if approved, be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The filing gives the Tom Lee-led company fresh money it can use to add more Ether while tying investor returns to a board-declared cash payout. Related Reading: XRP Is The Clear Winner For Transactions, According To Peter Brandt A New Way To Fund Ether Buying The company said it plans to sell 3 million shares at $100 each, according to a supplement filed with the SEC. BitMine also said the dividend would be paid in cash if the board declares it, which makes the structure different from a simple one-time stock sale. The filing goes further than a normal fundraising note. BitMine said its business strategy is now centered on the Ethereum blockchain, ETH, staking, validator infrastructure, and treasury management. Tom Lee / @BitMNR just filed to raise $300M through 9.5% preferred stock while ETH is breaking down. This looks like a deliberate move to accelerate accumulation. They likely plan to use their current cash to buy $ETH aggressively right now, while the preferred offering… https://t.co/uLrPN3KKkE — SolarEtherPunk.eth???? (@SolarEtherPunk) June 4, 2026 That gives the raise a clear purpose. Based on the filing, the preferred stock is meant to support BitMine’s push to keep building its Ether holdings rather than sit as idle capital. Ethereum Exposure Comes With Strings BitMine warned that its results remain closely linked to Ether’s price, staking economics, regulation, and counterparty risk in digital asset operations. The company is taking in new capital, but it is also making a bigger public bet on the token’s next move. The company said it intends to seek a New York Stock Exchange listing for the preferred shares, with a ticker to be announced later. Reports also pointed to rising institutional interest in Ethereum after US spot Ether ETFs and BlackRock’s move into tokenized financial products. A Trend Borrowed From Bitcoin Treasury Plays The move follows a pattern that has already appeared in other crypto-heavy public companies. Strategy’s STRC and Strive’s SATA have shown how preferred stock can be used to raise cash while keeping the market focused on digital asset exposure. Related Reading: XRP Dips In The Short Run, But A Bigger Setup May Be Forming: Analyst Strive recently increased its ASST and SATA offerings by $2.1 billion apiece, while a vote on Strategy’s STRC semi-monthly dividend proposal was set to end on June 8. BitMine’s version shifts that same financing model toward Ether instead of Bitcoin. For now, the pitch is plain. Pay a high yield, raise new capital, and keep adding to Ethereum. The filing lays out the upside and the risk in the same breath. At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $1,745, down 12% in the last week, data from Coingecko shows.

Bitcoin (BTC) has crashed below $70,000, underperforming the already weak crypto market as selling pressure tests price action. Market analyst Crypto Patel noted that he had anticipated this significant drop, citing BTC’s fragile price structure and persistent bearish factors in recent weeks. Now, the expert is sharing new insights on the latest price decline, forecasting how far the ongoing correction might go and what could come next for the leading cryptocurrency. Analyst Predicts More Declines Ahead For Bitcoin Crypto market analyst Crypto Patel on X is predicting further declines for Bitcoin, identifying $50,000 as a potential bottom for this cycle. In what he called a “Bitcoin Profit Update,” Patel highlighted that he had accurately forecasted the recent 19% crash in Bitcoin in his earlier posts. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Is Crashing And What To Expect Next Previously, the analyst had warned that Bitcoin’s previous $80,000 level represented strong resistance, coupled with a fair value gap (FVG). He predicted that from its prior price of around $82,800, Bitcoin would likely drop to $68,000. Despite criticism from some market watchers, Patel remained firm and closely monitored the market. His forecast proved largely accurate, as BTC recently fell more than 19%, reaching $67,000. He attributed the move to a Bitcoin liquidity grab, followed by activity around the FVG and a bearish order block around the $89,000 level. Looking ahead, Crypto Patel noted Bitcoin has formed a lower high around $82,800, a move he had been waiting to confirm. He also highlighted that stop losses have moved lower, from $98,000 to $82,900. The analyst has marked the $82,800 region as the current critical change of character (ChoCH) trigger, signaling that traders should watch this level closely for potential market shifts. According to Crypto Patel, only a high-volume, high-timeframe close above $82,800 could flip Bitcoin back to bullish territory. Without it, he expects another significant decline. BTC’s Downside Targets Point To $40,000 Crash In a recent X post, Crypto Patel reiterated that his bias toward Bitcoin remains bearish, expecting the cryptocurrency to crash to much lower levels. He acknowledged the possibility of a short-term relief bounce toward $75,000, but emphasized that this would likely be temporary. Following this projected rebound, the analyst expects BTC to drop to its next lower low target near $50,000 later this year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bearish Flag Goes Up As Expert Analyst Predicts A Massive Crash To $44,000 Patel marks a break of structure (BOS) level around $59,800 on his chart as the key trigger that could open the path to the $50,000 plunge. He also noted that if bearish momentum persists, Bitcoin could face an even steeper decline, potentially dipping into the $40,000 – $45,000 range.
