Latest financing builds on recent capital momentum for structurally important American iron ore project

NASHWAUK, Minn., April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mesabi Metallics Company LLC (Mesabi Metallics), backed by Essar Group, today announced that it has secured $150 million of financing from Macquarie Group, supporting the Q3 2026 startup of its world-scale Direct Reduction (DR) grade iron ore mine and pellet plant in Nashwauk, Minnesota.

Mesabi Metallics concentrator building

The financing follows Mesabi’s recently announced $520 million senior secured credit facility with Breakwall Capital, further reinforcing the strong momentum behind the project.

Mesabi has also recently received support from the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM), reflecting the project’s growing strategic importance to U.S. manufacturing, infrastructure, automotive, shipbuilding and defense.

Mesabi Metallics is building a strategically important new American source of DR-grade iron ore at a time when the United States is working to strengthen industrial supply chains and reduce reliance on imported raw materials.

Located on more than 16,000 acres in Northern Minnesota, Mesabi Metallics is completing a $2.5 billion world-scale merchant DR-grade iron ore mine and pellet plant that will supply the next generation electric arc furnaces of American steelmaking- the cleanest and most energy efficient way of making high quality steel.

With more than 800 construction workers currently on site, the project is one of the largest private-sector industrial investments in Minnesota’s history. Essar Group has already invested more than $2 billion of equity into the project.

“This financing from Macquarie marks another major step forward for Mesabi Metallics and builds on the strong momentum we have established with our recently announced financial partnerships,” said Joe Broking, President and CEO of Mesabi Metallics. “Together, these transactions reflect growing confidence in the quality, scale and strategic importance of our project as we build a new American source of DR-grade iron ore to strengthen domestic steel supply chains and reduce dependence on imports.”

“Macquarie has enjoyed a longstanding financing relationship with Essar Group, and we are pleased to extend that relationship to their metals and mining investments in the US,” said Mike Burns, Senior Managing Director in Macquarie Group’s Commodities and Global Markets business. “Mesabi is developing a high-quality and strategically important project for the U.S. steel sector, and we look forward to supporting the company over the long term.”

About Mesabi Metallics Company LLC 

Mesabi Metallics Company LLC, an Essar Group company, is constructing a state-of-the-art mine and Direct Reduction (DR) grade iron ore pellet plant to produce premium DR grade pellets on over 16,000 acres in Nashwauk, Minnesota. Once completed, it will be the first new mine and pellet plant in Minnesota in almost 50 years. Mesabi’s DR grade iron ore pellets will be strategically positioned to meet the demand of the Electric Arc Furnace market, ensuring supply chain security for DR grade iron pellets in the United States and replacing foreign imported pellets. The endeavor is one of the largest private sector investments in Minnesota. Mesabi Metallics has already invested over $2.2 billion into the project.

Capturing new angles like never before, Galaxy S26 Ultra’s broadcast-ready capture transforms how skateboarding is filmed, experienced and delivered in real time

LOS ANGELES, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global partner of Street League Skateboarding (SLS) today announced that Galaxy S26 Ultra was used to film live Street League Skateboarding (SLS) competition for the first time when it captured the SLS DTLA Takeover on April 4. Galaxy S26 Ultra’s pro-grade camera redefines the role of mobile devices in sports, delivering a fresh visual experience of skateboarding that reflects the intensity of the sport itself.

Sports broadcasting is evolving, bringing fans closer to the experience by moving cameras closer to the action. Samsung is driving this shift with the Galaxy camera system and its ability to operate at broadcast-level performance through the pairing of connectivity and mobility. Earlier this year, Galaxy flagship device was used to stream Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, where Samsung worked alongside Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) to embed Galaxy devices throughout the venue at one of the world’s largest sports stages. The result was a new layer of visual storytelling, capturing dynamic perspectives that complemented traditional broadcast coverage. These capabilities extended to the Galaxy Unpacked 2026, showcasing its ability to deliver professional-grade video capture and transmission.

Now, Samsung is helping lead this transformation within skateboarding competitions by embedding Galaxy S26 Ultra directly into key course features — including rails, ledges and gaps — across the entire SLS 2026 season, fully scaling the Galaxy POV first introduced at the 2026 SLS Sydney stop.

“Mobile innovation is opening new possibilities for how sports are captured and experienced,” said Joshua Cho, Executive Vice President and Head of the Visual Solution Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “At Milano Cortina we demonstrated how Galaxy technology can complement traditional broadcast systems. With Street League Skateboarding, we’re bringing that same approach directly into the course with our newest, most advanced device camera, and using mobile POV to capture skateboarding from entirely new perspectives.”

Embedded throughout the course, the devices provide skater-level perspectives, offering angles that traditional broadcast systems often cannot capture. This footage feeds directly into the live production workflow, enabling near-instant replay and offering viewers a fresh visual experience that reflects the intensity of the sport itself.

From speed to the precision of every landing, skateboarding is defined by details that are often lost from a distance. With mobile cameras placed directly inside the course, Samsung is reimagining how the sport is experienced, bringing fans closer to each mid-air movement, board flip and landing. These new perspectives offer deeper insight into technique, timing and control, while strengthening the connection between fans, the sport and the athlete.

Featuring Samsung’s most advanced mobile imaging system to date, Galaxy S26 Ultra is designed to perform in fast-moving, unpredictable environments, much like the athletes themselves. It delivers professional-grade camera performance and high-quality footage across a wide range of shooting conditions with enhanced stabilization, intelligent processing and the ability to maintain clarity in low-light or high-speed conditions. This allows it to operate alongside conventional cameras while maintaining clarity, stability and detail within spaces traditional broadcast cameras cannot easily access.

The placement of Galaxy S26 Ultra devices follows the rhythm and flow of each run, revealing the style, speed and precision of each trick from within the course itself. Galaxy features also extend the creative possibilities of production. Features such as Super Steady with horizontal lock stabilization help maintain smooth, level footage even during high-speed motion, while Instant Slow-Mo enables detailed replay of tricks as they happen. Together, these capabilities allow production teams to capture skateboarding with greater clarity, stability and proximity — showcasing the precision, style and technical skill behind every movement.

“Skateboarding is reaching more people than ever before, especially as the sport continues to grow on the global stage,” said Brett Clarke, Chief Revenue Officer at Thrill Sports, the parent company of Street League Skateboarding. “Collaborations like the one we have with Samsung help us evolve how the sport is shared with fans while staying true to the creativity and culture that define skateboarding.”

The debut of Galaxy S26 Ultra POV integration at the SLS DTLA Takeover signals where sports broadcasting is heading next. As the SLS Championship Tour continues, Samsung will continue exploring how mobile technology can evolve into versatile broadcast tools. Looking ahead to major global sporting events and the road to Los Angeles 2028, this shift suggests a future in which the boundary between smartphone camera and broadcast camera continues to disappear, bringing fans closer to the action.

Bitmine has been approved for uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from the NYSE American effective at the opening of trading on April 9, 2026

Bitmine has 3,334,637 staked ETH, representing $7.1 billion at $2,123 per ETH

MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) is the premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors, with a focus on security, performance, and resilience

Bitmine now owns 3.98% of the ETH token supply, over 79% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 9 months

Bitmine owns $92 million of ORBS, now one of the only publicly listed equities in the world to give investors direct exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings + “Moonshots” total $11.4 billion, including 4.803 million ETH tokens, total cash of $864 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine leads crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of BMNR stock

Bitmine is the 96th most traded stock in the US, trading $987 million per day (5-day avg)

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support Bitmine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“Bitmine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash + “moonshots” holdings totaling $11.4 billion.

BMNR Weekly Update

Additionally, the company announced that it has been approved for uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from the NYSE American. As a result of the uplisting, the Company’s common stock will cease trading on the NYSE American after market close on April 8, 2026, and will commence trading on the NYSE effective at the opening of trading on April 9, 2026. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “BMNR”.

As of April 5, 2026 at 8:30pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,803,334 ETH at $2,123 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 198 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $92 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $864 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 3.98% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“The Iran war enters its 6th week and this war remains the most important driver of global markets. ETH remains the second best performing asset since the start of the war, with a 6.8% gain and outperforming the S&P 500 by 1,130bp. And ETH beating gold by 1,840bp demonstrates ETH is the wartime store of value. At the moment, this war exerts more influence on risk markets than global central banks,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

“The war has placed downward pressure on global markets, so it is impressive to see ETH as one of the few to rise on an absolute basis. This is a great harbinger, as we expect ETH leadership to strengthen investors and eventually take cash off the sidelines,” continued Lee. “Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains.”

“Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’ In the past week, we acquired 71,252 ETH which is the highest pace of buys since the week of December 22, 2025,” stated Lee.

Bitmine announced the official launch of MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine’s own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of April 6, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,334,637 ($7.1 billion at $2,123 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the ETH staking reward is $282 million annually (using 2.78% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now $196 million. And this 3.3 million ETH is about 69% of the 4.8 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.74%, while Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.78% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which owns 762,099 BTC valued at $51 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $987 million (4-day average, as of April 2, 2026), ranking #96 in the US, behind Schlumberger (rank #95) and ahead of Adobe (rank #97) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

The GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.
