Stock Market Today, March 31: Bitmine Immersion Technologies Jumps on Crypto Recovery Hopes
Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSEMKT:BMNR), a digital asset mining and Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) treasury company, closed Tuesday at $19.78, rising 8.09%. The stock moved higher following last week’s staking platform launch and today’s wider market rally.

How the markets moved today
The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) advanced 2.91% to finish Tuesday at 6,529, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) climbed 3.83% to close at 21,591. Among blockchain technology and digital asset peers, Mara Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) gained 4.68% to close at $8.16, and Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) increased 4.48% to end at $12.36, underscoring broad strength across crypto-linked companies.
What this means for investors
Bitmine has declined 27% year-to-date, despite today’s gains. The stock is heavily impacted by the cryptocurrency market, particularly Ethereum, which has struggled this year.
Last week, B. Riley raised its Bitmine target from $30 to $33, maintaining a “buy” rating on the stock. Analysts highlighted the launch of its institutional Ethereum staking -- locking up coins to earn rewards -- platform as a key growth driver. Bitmine has continued to add to its crypto holdings during the recent price slump and now holds almost 4% of all the Ethereum in circulation.
For investors wondering whether today’s gains are the start of a turnaround, much depends on cryptocurrency prices and regulatory progress. Energy-fueled inflation concerns may continue to drive near-term risk-off sentiment, weighing on Bitmine’s price.
