Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSEMKT: BMNR) rallied 5.9% on Wednesday to close at $62.44, extending its recent gains on a sharp uptick in trading volume. More than 128 million shares changed hands–nearly five times the company’s three-month average–suggesting growing interest in the crypto infrastructure space. The stock remains well off its 52-week high of $161.00 but has recovered dramatically from its low of $1.93 earlier this year.

Markets broadly advanced, with the Nasdaq Composite gaining 1.4% and the S&P 500 rising 1.1%, lifted by encouraging inflation data and renewed risk appetite across tech and growth sectors.

Bitmine outperformed other crypto-exposed names, with Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) rising 2.8% and Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: MARA) up just 0.4%. Traders appear to favor Bitmine’s differentiated positioning in immersion cooling infrastructure — a technology increasingly adopted by large-scale Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) miners and artificial intelligence (AI) server operators.

Investor interest followed Bitmine’s announcement that it plans to issue up to $20 billion worth of new stock to purchase additional Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) for its corporate treasury. The move, which would represent one of the largest public crypto accumulation strategies to date, reflects the company’s aggressive bet on Ethereum’s long-term value and potential to serve as a foundational asset for its infrastructure and liquidity goals.
