Tom Lee: Crypto Market in ‘Early Bull Phase,’ Bitmine Staking APY at Around 226M

2026.06.15 20:40:29

June 15. Per the latest Chairman’s letter released by crypto asset firm Bitmine, over the past week, Bitmine added 76,881 Ethereum (ETH) to its holdings, maintaining its rapid, high-frequency accumulation pace. The company notes that ETH’s current price correction doesn’t align with Ethereum’s improving fundamentals, and it’s calling the crypto market’s state the “early stages of a bull market.” As of June 14, Bitmine’s total staked Ethereum holdings hit 4,718,677 ETH—valued at roughly $81 billion at current market rates—making it one of the world’s largest Ethereum holders and staking operators. Bitmine also announced the official launch of its in-house institutional-grade staking platform, MAVAN, which will roll out access to institutional investors, crypto custodians, and ecosystem partners over time to expand its staking infrastructure service offerings. A portion of its ETH is already being staked via MAVAN. Disclosed data shows the firm’s current staking scale generates an estimated annualized return of $2.26 billion to $2.69 billion, with a 7-day average yield of roughly 2.79%. Those earnings are projected to grow as its staking footprint expands. Bitmine’s leadership also targets capturing 5% of the total Ethereum supply by 2026—alongside continued expansion of its strategic ETH reserves. Separately, the firm declared a third-quarter cash dividend of $0.2639 per share for its Class A preferred stock, set to be paid out on July 6, 2026.

Australian cybersecurity agency sues Telegram for failing to remove terrorist content, seeking AUD 54.6 million in damages

Australian eSafety Commissioner has formally filed a civil lawsuit against Telegram in Australia’s Federal Court, accusing the messaging platform of systematically violating its cybersecurity obligations under the country’s Cyber Security Act. Following a year-long investigation, the regulator alleges Telegram failed to remove flagged content after receiving reports from Australian users—including terrorist execution videos, some of which remained accessible for up to three weeks post-report. The regulator further claims the platform did not detect known terror-supporting content, such as the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting livestream and content related to the May 2022 Buffalo mass shooting; these pieces of content were not removed until nearly three months after upload. Additionally, the eSafety Commissioner accuses Telegram of failing to remove associated accounts, channels and groups to prevent future violations, failing to uphold uniform terms of service banning terror-supporting content across the platform, and failing to provide reporters with updates on case outcomes. Under Australian law, violations of relevant rules and standards carry a maximum civil penalty of 54.6 million Australian dollars. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant stated the content in question is linked to some of the most notorious acts of extreme violence in recent history, and remained accessible long after Telegram received notification of it. The lawsuit comes as Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has just charged Telegram founder Pavel Durov with aiding terrorism and issued an international arrest warrant against him, leaving the platform facing legal pressure from multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
