The company’s stock (BMNR) averages $6.4 billion in daily trading volume, making it the 10th most liquid U.S. equity. It outpaces JPMorgan (#27) and Alphabet (#11) among 5,704 listed stocks, per Fundstrat data.

Lee compared current crypto regulatory shifts, including the GENIUS Act and SEC initiatives, to the 1971 Bretton Woods transition, forecasting similar market modernization. Bitmine’s liquidity and treasury scale position it uniquely amid these changes.
