New targets outlined for 2030 following the successful conclusion of the 25×25 sustainability targets


HONG KONG SAR and SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 January 2026 – Hang Lung Properties Limited (SEHK stock code: 00101) (“Hang Lung” or the “Company”) today announces a new phase in its sustainability journey, unveiling 20 refreshed 2030 targets that build on its success in achieving its 25 x 25 Sustainability Targets.

EN.PNG

Launched in 2021, the 25 x 25 targets defined Hang Lung’s agenda to the end of 2025 across four priorities: Climate Resilience, Resource Management, Wellbeing, and Sustainable Transactions. The Company has achieved its earlier ambitions, and exceeded targets related to greenhouse gas emissions reduction, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. Establishing such a concrete and robust set of targets also helped the Company develop practices in sustainability innovation and continual improvement.

Building on this success, now with expanded data, greater organizational maturity, and heightened ambition, Hang Lung’s refreshed 2030 targets reflect its position as an industry leader in sustainability.

The 20 targets for 2030 continue to be organized under the four priorities that define Hang Lung’s approach to sustainability, including the below highlights:

  • Climate Resilience: Among the first real estate companies in Asia to have near- and long-term targets fully aligned with the Science Based Target initiative’s Buildings Criteria and its emission reduction pathway (1.5°C). Also, Hang Lung is the first real estate company in Asia to establish a Climate Value-at-Risk target.
  • Resource Management: The first real estate company in Asia to formulate a target for biodiversity net gain (10%) on all new development projects and major renovations, supporting urban ecosystems and enhancing green spaces.
  • Wellbeing: Generate at least HK$40 million in social value through community investments.
  • Sustainable Transactions: Collaborate with tenants representing 25% of our leased floor area through our sustainability partnerships program.

Collaboration across the value chain remains central to Hang Lung’s approach, extending beyond traditional metrics. Hang Lung aims to partner with suppliers and tenants through quantifiable targets to drive progress upstream and downstream. In addition, the Company is committed to supporting innovation in standards development to facilitate impactful sustainability initiatives across sectors and jurisdictions.

Mr. Adriel Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Properties and Chair of the Sustainability Steering Committee, commented: “We are excited to embark on this next phase of our sustainability journey, reflecting Hang Lung’s growing role not just as a leader in sustainability action, but also in sustainability thought leadership. By working closely with partners across our value chain, we are confident that we can deliver on these commitments and continue to foster excellence in sustainable development in Asia.”

Mr. John Haffner, Deputy Director – Sustainability, added: “Over the past several years, we have seen how ambitious targets focus our efforts and help develop a culture of innovation. Building on our achievements and lessons learned, our 2030 targets are sharper and more data-driven, and will help us achieve greater impact in our communities.”

Full details of the 25 x 25 wrap-up and the new 2030 targets will be shared in Hang Lung’s 2025 Sustainability Report to be released in March. The report will provide further insights into the Company’s achievements, lessons learned, and emerging plans to support the refreshed 2030 targets, inviting partners and the wider public to join forces in shaping a sustainable future.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Reach 4.168 Million Tokens, and Total Crypto and Total Cash Holdings of $14.0 Billion

By
Advertorial Desk
-

Chairman Tom Lee urges stockholders to vote YES to proposal #2 to support Bitmine’s goal of growing ETH per share

Stockholders can find the latest information around voting YES and the Chairman’s message on the Bitmine website

Bitmine staked ETH stands at 1,256,083 and MAVAN staking solution on track to launch Q1 2026

Bitmine remains the largest ‘fresh money’ buyer of ETH in the world

Bitmine now owns 3.45% of the ETH token supply, nearly 70% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 6 months

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings + “Moonshots” total $14.0 billion, including 4.168 million ETH tokens, total cash of $988 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine will hold its Annual Stockholder Meeting at the Wynn Las Vegas on January 15, 2026

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 67th most traded stock in the US, trading $1.3 billion 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

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 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 $14.0 billion.

As of January 11th at 7:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 4,167,768 ETH at $3,119 per ETH (Coinbase), 193 Bitcoin (BTC), $23 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $988 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 3.45% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“2026 augurs many positive things for crypto with stablecoin adoption and tokenization driving to make blockchain the settlement layer of Wall Street, particularly favoring Ethereum,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of Bitmine. “We continue to view the leverage reset post October 10th, 2025 as akin to the ‘mini crypto winter.’ 2026 is the year crypto prices recover and with stronger gains in 2027-2028.”

“In the past week, we acquired 24,266 ETH and still managed to increase our cash position by $73 million,” continued Lee. “Bitmine only issues equity selectively and only at a premium to mNAV. We remain the largest ‘fresh money’ buyer of ETH in the world,” stated Mr. Lee. “And when MAVAN launches its commercial operations, we will be the largest staking provider in the entire crypto ecosystem.”

Bitmine released a special Chairman’s message (link) explaining why Bitmine stockholders should vote to support the amendment to increase authorized shares ahead of the upcoming annual stockholder meeting on January 15, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”).

“Bitmine charter has an unusual feature requiring 50.1% of all shares outstanding to support a share increase. This is an extremely high bar and thus, makes it very difficult to get an authorized share increase. We need to pursue this increase now as Bitmine is soon to exhaust its current 500 million authorization. And when that happens, our ETH accumulation will slow. Thus, we need stockholders to approve proposal #2 to increase authorized shares,” said Tom Lee. “Bitmine’s sole focus remains creating stockholder value, achieving this by accretively acquiring ETH per share, and has only issued shares at mNAV premium, optimizing yield and income on its ETH holdings, and strategically investing the balance sheet on ‘moonshots’ and leveraging the company’s strong community and market position to generate additional returns.”

As of January 11, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 1,256,083 ($3.9 billion at $3,119 per ETH). This is an increase of 596,864 in the past week. This is a fraction of the 4.17 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (composite Ethereum staking rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 2.81%. Bitmine is currently working with 3 staking providers as the company moves towards unveiling its commercial MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) in 2026. “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 fee is $374 million annual (using 2.81% CESR), or greater than $1 million per day,” stated Tom Lee. “We continue to make progress on our staking solution known as The Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN). This will be the ‘best-in-class’ solution offering secure staking infrastructure and will be deployed in early calendar 2026,” continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which owns 672,497 BTC valued at $61 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. 

Bitmine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $1.3 billion (5-day average, as of January 9, 2026), ranking #67 in the US, behind Vistra (rank #66) and ahead of Cisco (rank #68) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

Bitmine will hold its Annual Meeting at the Wynn Las Vegas on January 15, 2026. The company encourages stockholders to vote and attend its in-person Annual Meeting. Details and the agenda for the Annual Meeting can be found below:

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.
