Bitmine Schedules Accelerated Dividend Schedule
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR) disclosed that its Board of Directors has declared 17 cash dividends on the company's 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (NYSE: BMNP), with record dates beginning August 25 and extending through December 18, 2026 (8-K filing, 2026-08-14).
The dividends will be paid weekly over the four-month period, with most payments set at $0.1847 per share.
