Exhibit 99.1

BIMINI MORTGAGE MANAGEMENT, INC.
DECLARES $0.40 SECOND QUARTER 2005 CASH DIVIDEND

VERO BEACH, Fla. (May 31, 2005) — Bimini Mortgage Management, Inc. (NYSE:BMM), a real estate investment trust that invests primarily in residential mortgage-related securities, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share on the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock for the quarter ending June 30, 2005.  The dividend is payable July 8, 2005, to stockholders of record on June 23, 2005.

The Board of Directors estimates that this dividend will be paid entirely from taxable earnings. Based on the Company’s current earnings estimates, taxable income for the second quarter of 2005 is expected to be about $0.02 per share more than income as computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As of May 31, 2005, no capital gains or losses have been recorded for the quarter.

Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey J. Zimmer, said in a statement that “the Board is pleased to be able to continue paying out dividends at these current attractive levels.

“The Company completed investing the proceeds of our Bimini Capital Trust I offering, and total assets as of May 31, 2005, are approximately $4 billion.  We have positioned the portfolio to protect book value in a rising rate environment while still achieving good rates of return for our shareholders.  Balancing these two objectives continues to be our primary goal.  Yet, continued increases in the Federal Funds rate will inevitably put pressure on earnings to the extent that our funding rates increase faster than the income on our adjustable rate mortgage assets.”
