Reports on December 30, 2025, confirmed Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (BMNR) remained highly popular among South Korean retail investors. BMNR ranked as the second most favored overseas stock in the country for 2025, surpassed only by Alphabet Inc.
South Korean investors, known for their appetite for high-risk, high-reward investments, invested a net US$1.4 billion into BMNR during 2025. A key factor attracting this investment wave was the company’s strategic shift earlier in the year. BMNR began accumulating Ethereum (ETH) as its primary treasury reserve asset.
This sustained interest occurred despite significant stock volatility. The stock declined 82% from its peak reached in July 2025. The persistent investment from this demographic remains a notable aspect of BMNR’s market narrative heading into the new year.
