The agreements also included the sale of pre-funded warrants that will allow holders to buy about 11 million shares of common stock.
Separately, BitMine entered agreements with certain accredited investors to sell about 8.8 million shares of its common stock for $4.50 apiece in a private placement, in which purchasers will tender certain cryptocurrencies for the common stock.
The company plans to use net proceeds from the offerings primarily to acquire the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, commonly referred to as ETH, and contribute the ETH to the company's treasury operations.
