Grayscale Investments and Bitmine have collectively staked almost $500 million over the past 24 hours, according to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence. Grayscale staked another 102,400 Ether worth about $237 million, with the deposit executed in 32 separate transactions from Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust wallet to Coinbase Prime.
Grayscale activated staking for its Ethereum products, including Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE) and Grayscale Ethereum Staking Mini ETF (ETH), in October 2025. Since then, the firm has accumulated nearly $38 million in net staking rewards, based on its reported data.
Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg said the firm’s low-cost Ethereum fund ranked first among all US exchange-traded product providers during the first quarter of 2026, pulling in $337 million in inflows. As of April 24, combined assets under management for ETHE and ETH have reached $4 billion.
Beaconcha.in data shows approximately 39 million ETH is currently locked in staking contracts across the network. The article notes that nearly a third of all Ethereum is voluntarily taken off the market by holders earning yield, and that each additional chunk staked reduces the pool of ETH available for trading.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies is now the largest corporate Ethereum staker and holder. The company disclosed this week that its staked ETH reached 3.3 million units, equivalent to 67% of its total holdings.
Lookonchain reported that Bitmine also staked 112,040 ETH on Friday, lifting total staked ETH to 3.7 million, representing around 74% of its total holdings. Tom Lee (fundstrat) said Bitmine staked another 112,040 ETH worth $259.6 million.
In total, Bitmine has staked 3,701,589 ETH worth $8.58 billion, representing 74.38% of its total holdings.
