Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR), led by Chairman and Fundstrat founder Tom Lee, announced a staggering $200 million equity investment into Beast Industries, the empire of YouTube titan Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson.

MrBeast commands over 450 million subscribers and generates 5 billion views monthly.

Probably, the most exciting part of the deal is the planned integration of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) into MrBeast’s upcoming financial services platform.

Beast Industries has already filed trademarks for “MrBeast Financial,” which reportedly includes plans for banking, consumer lending, and crypto-related offerings.

Bitmine, which holds a massive treasury of over 4.17 million ETH (roughly 3.45% of the global supply), will act as the back-end infrastructure provider and partner for these fintech initiatives.

$5 billion valuation 

Beast Industries is currently valued at approximately $5 billion.

The $200 million from Bitmine represents a significant minority stake.

Jimmy Donaldson’s paper wealth has surged to an estimated $2.6 billion in 2026. Despite this, he famously claimed in a recent Wall Street Journal interview to have “negative money” because he reinvests every cent into his massive production costs and business scaling.

Lingering controversies 

The deal comes amid ongoing scrutiny of MrBeast’s relationship with the crypto world.

In late 2024, on-chain investigators linked over 50 wallets to MrBeast and his network. He allegedly profited over $23 million from “pump and dump” low-cap tokens.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
