Big Institutions Increased Bitmine Holdings During the Sell-Off
Major institutions appear to have used the recent market weakness to increase their exposure to Bitmine (BMNR), according to the latest SEC 13F filings from February 2026.
The data shows that 457 institutional holders now collectively own 136,702,386 shares, representing nearly $2.87 billionin total position value.
Top Institutions Adding Exposure
Among the largest holders:
- Morgan Stanley holds 12.19 million shares, up 26% quarter-over-quarter.
- ARK Investment Management owns 9.46 million shares, up 27%.
- BlackRock increased its position by 166%, now holding over 9.04 million shares.
- Goldman Sachs boosted exposure by 588%.
- Bank of America reported a 1,668% increase.
- Citigroup and Bank of New York Mellon also posted increases above 400%.
The top 11 institutions alone hold 49.5 million shares, accounting for nearly 47% of total institutional ownership.
What This Suggests
Institutional accumulation during a sell-off often signals long-term positioning rather than short-term trading. While broader sentiment may remain cautious, the filings indicate that several major financial players expanded their stakes instead of reducing risk.
Historically, large institutions tend to build positions when prices weaken and market confidence fades. The current increase in institutional ownership suggests that some large players view recent price action as an opportunity rather than a warning sign.
