As we move through 2026, we believe many of these headwinds could turn into tailwinds.\n<\/li>\n<li>While many simply say just attribute this to \u2018crypto winter,\u2019 2026 has seen much positive fundamental progress including many banks announcing tokenization of assets, new Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) launches, such as Robinhood Chain. This is a contrast to the 2018 and 2022 crypto winters where regulatory headwinds and collapse of crypto institutions marked those declines.\n<\/li>\n<li>The Chairman believes that Ethereum is positioned to benefit from two exponential drivers of Wall Street building rails on blockchain and agentic-AI (as discussed above).\n<\/li>\n<li>The Chairman also discusses how Bitmine is positioning itself strategically for the important drivers of the next crypto upcycle supporting key infrastructure partners and strengthening the Ethereum ecosystem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Chairman\u2019s message can be found here:<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4733007-1&amp;h=4077869902&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bitminetech.io%2Fchairmans-message&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.Bitminetech.io%2Fchairmans-message\">https:\/\/www.Bitminetech.io\/chairmans-message<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Fiscal Full Year 2025 Earnings presentation and corporate presentation can be found here: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4733007-1&amp;h=942719479&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitminetech.io%2Finvestor-relations%2F&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2FBitminetech.io%2Finvestor-relations%2F\">https:\/\/Bitminetech.io\/investor-relations\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>To stay informed, please sign up at: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4733007-1&amp;h=2775159476&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitminetech.io%2Fcontact-us%2F&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2FBitminetech.io%2Fcontact-us%2F\">https:\/\/Bitminetech.io\/contact-us\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><b>About Bitmine<br \/><\/b><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4733007-1&amp;h=1424813659&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bitminetech.io%2F&amp;a=Bitmine\">Bitmine<\/a> (NYSE: BMNR) is a Bitcoin miner with operations in the US.
