[8-K] BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: BMNR) filed an 8-K disclosing three material events dated 8 July 2025:

• Consulting Agreement. The Company engaged Ethereum Tower LLC for a 10-year term to implement an ETH-focused treasury strategy. Treasury assets will consist of the net proceeds from two contemporaneous private placements plus any other digital assets designated by the Company. Operational partners receive “trade-only” access; custody remains with a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary under third-party control. The Company will pay management fees and related expenses, and early termination triggers liquidated damages.
• Strategic Advisor Agreement. Ethereum Tower Instant LLC will advise on growth initiatives for six months (extendable). Compensation is warrants equal to 5 % of the Company’s fully diluted share count at an exercise price of $5.40, exercisable for five years. The issuance relies on Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.
• Private Placements (Item 3.02). • Cash Offering: 36,309,592 common shares at $4.50 and 11,006,444 pre-funded warrants at $4.4999, raising ≈ $212.9 million in USD. • Cryptocurrency Offering: 8,804,122 common shares at $4.50, raising ≈ $39.6 million in ETH/BTC. ThinkEquity LLC acted as placement agent and received 1,231,945 warrants at $5.40. Combined, the Company issued or committed to issue roughly 57.3 million new shares (including pre-funded and placement agent warrants), materially increasing the share base.

The proceeds from both offerings become part of the ETH Treasury managed under the Consulting Agreement. All securities were issued in private transactions exempt from registration. A press release announcing the closings was issued 9 July 2025.

Positive

• Raised ≈ $252 million in combined cash and crypto, significantly strengthening the balance sheet.
• Professional ETH treasury management aims to generate yield and asset appreciation beyond traditional cash holdings.
• Use of a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary and trade-only access provides additional asset-protection controls.

Negative

• Substantial dilution from 57 million new shares/pre-funded and advisor/placement warrants, plus 5 % fully-diluted advisor warrants.
• Consulting Agreement locks BMNR into a 10-year commitment with termination penalties and ongoing management fees.
• Complex DeFi activities introduce regulatory and smart-contract risk that could impact treasury assets.

Insights

Crypto Treasury Specialist

TL;DR Ten-year outsourced ETH treasury plan funded by $250 m in new capital; robust control structure but long commitment and fees.

The Consulting Agreement creates a professionally managed, on-chain treasury without relinquishing custody, a structure increasingly adopted by crypto-native issuers. Scaling the balance sheet with both fiat and crypto proceeds diversifies funding sources and positions BMNR to accumulate ETH strategically, potentially enhancing returns versus idle cash. However, the 10-year tenor and liquidated-damage clause reduce flexibility if market conditions or company strategy shift. Management fees and broad mandate (staking, DeFi, hedging) could introduce counter-party and smart-contract risks, though the bankruptcy-remote subsidiary and “trade-only” access mitigate outright loss.

Equity Dilution & Capital Markets Analyst

TL;DR ~$252 m raised but share count balloons; 5 % advisor warrants and 1.2 m placement warrants add further dilution.

The two private placements inject substantial capital at $4.50—well below the $5.40 exercise price on newly issued warrants—suggesting investors demanded a discount for size and crypto-denominated consideration. Including common, pre-funded, advisor, and placement warrants, outstanding and potentially issuable shares increase by ~60 m (>60 % of many micro-cap floats), likely pressuring near-term EPS and voting power. While capital improves liquidity for mining expansion or DeFi activities, investors must weigh dilution against prospective ETH-linked returns. The 5-year, 5 % fully-diluted warrants granted to the strategic advisor are material, particularly given the short six-month advisory term.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Consulting Agreement

On July 8, 2025, BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Ethereum Tower LLC (the “Consultant”) to provide consulting services to the Company in accordance with a defined ETH Treasury Strategy (the “ETH Treasury Strategy”). Under this arrangement, the Consultant is responsible for selecting and engaging operational partners to provide digital asset management and related services, including but not limited to trading, staking, decentralized finance activities, and other opportunity-seeking strategies, with the primary objective of accumulating and increasing the Company’s holdings of Ethereum (“ETH”) over time.

The assets subject to this Agreement (the “Treasury Assets”) consist of the net proceeds from the Cash Offering (defined below) and the Cryptocurrency Offering (defined below) as well as any other cash or digital assets designated by the Company as part of its treasury. These assets are held in cryptocurrency wallets owned by a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary LLC”), with custody maintained by a third-party custodian or wallet provider acceptable to the Company. The operational partners engaged by the Consultant will be granted “trade-only access” to the Treasury Assets, meaning they may execute trades and transactions within the ETH ecosystem but do not have authority to withdraw or transfer assets out of the ETH ecosystem. The Company retains ultimate control and oversight of the assets and can monitor all activity.

The Consultant is compensated according to a management fee schedule, and the Company is responsible for all reasonable and documented expenses related to the operation of the Treasury, including custodial, banking, brokerage and transaction fees. The operational partners engaged by the Consultant are authorized to engage in a broad range of digital asset activities, including swaps, staking, restaking, value farming, hedging and other decentralized finance operations, provided these activities are in furtherance of the ETH Treasury Strategy. The Consultant does not provide advice regarding securities, and the arrangement is structured to avoid the inclusion of securities as defined under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The Consulting Agreement has an initial term of ten years and may be renewed for additional periods as mutually agreed in writing by the Company and the Consultant. Termination by the Company prior to the end of the term results in a contractual obligation to pay the Consultant a significant portion of the remaining fees as liquidated damages. The Consultant may terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time for any reason.

The Consultant is not authorized to act as custodian of the Company’s assets, nor to take possession or title to any assets, except for the direct withdrawal of fees as provided in the Agreement. The Consultant may provide similar services to other clients, and the Consultant or its affiliates may engage in transactions for their own accounts. The Consulting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, confidentiality, indemnification and limitation of liability provisions, and is governed by the laws of the State of New York.

This arrangement is intended to provide the Company with professional management of its digital asset treasury, with a focus on maximizing ETH accumulation and value accretion, while maintaining robust controls and oversight over the Company’s digital assets.

The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Consulting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Strategic Advisor Agreement

On July 8, 2025, the Company entered into a Strategic Advisor Agreement (the “Strategic Advisor Agreement”) with Ethereum Tower Instant LLC (the “Strategic Advisor”) pursuant to which the Company engaged the Strategic Advisor to provide strategic advice and guidance relating to the Company’s business, operations, growth initiatives and industry trends in the crypto technology sector for a term of six months, which may be extended by mutual written agreement of the Company and Strategic Advisor. Either the Company or Strategic Advisor may terminate the Strategic Advisor Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice or for cause, as such term is defined in the Strategic Advisor Agreement. As compensation for services rendered by the Strategic Advisor under the Strategic Advisor Agreement, the Company will issue Strategic Advisor warrants (the “Strategic Advisor Warrants”) to purchase an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock” and such shares of Common Stock underlying the Strategic Advisor Warrants, the “Strategic Advisor Warrants Shares”) equal to five percent of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, including all outstanding shares and shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities as of the close of business on July 8, 2025. The exercise price per share of the Strategic Advisor Warrants shall be set at a price equal to $5.40. The Strategic Advisor Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Strategic Advisor Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, confidentiality provisions and limitations on liability.

The Strategic Advisor Warrants and the Strategic Advisor Warrant Shares are being offered in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws. The issuance of the Strategic Advisor Warrants and the Strategic Advisor Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

The foregoing description of the Strategic Advisor Agreement and Strategic Advisor Warrants do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts of the Strategic Advisor Agreement and the Strategic Advisor Warrants, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
