BMNU

On listing day, REX Shares said investing in the T-REX 2X Long BMNR Daily Target ETF, BMNU, was not the same as owning BitMine Immersion Technologies. The prospectus said the fund could lose money over any stretch longer than a day even if BitMine rose.

BitMine closed 2025 at $27.15. On Tuesday, June 30, it closed at $13.31, about half that price, after the shares touched $12.80. Thursday's close was $28.03. The fund's prices are adjusted for a 1-for-10 reverse split on Monday, July 13. It closed June 30 at $6.68, after touching $6.10, and closed Thursday at $23.56, more than three times the June close and still about half the year-end close of $47.80.

The fund's rebound stopped near half its year-end level.

The fund seeks twice one day, then starts the next day from the new price, so a climb that puts the stock back does not put the fund back.
