Trump-Linked American Bitcoin (ABTC) Surpasses 7,000 BTC as Treasury Growth Accelerates; Mining Peer Slides

Bitcoins

ABTC has crossed 7,000 BTC in corporate reserves, marking more expansion of its Bitcoin treasury following its Nasdaq listing. The company reported its holdings have nearly tripled since launch, while “satoshis per share” have more than doubled over the same period. 

ABTC now ranks among the top publicly traded Bitcoin-holding firms globally, coming in at #16, according to bitcointreasuries.net

American Bitcoin has been aggressively expanding its mining operations, purchasing over 11,000 ASIC machines this month to significantly boost hashrate capacity. 

The company plans to scale its fleet toward ~89,000 rigs and ~28 EH/s, focusing on self-mining BTC at lower costs rather than market purchases. 

Executives say this strategy is designed to increase Bitcoin holdings efficiently, with strong reported mining margins.

ABTC co-founder Eric Trump also took to X earlier this month and said that major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, are lobbying in Washington to restrict higher-yield crypto and stablecoin products through legislation like the CLARITY Act, aiming to protect traditional banking profits.

Bitcoins ABTC’s rough stock performance

The company reported a challenging fourth quarter earlier this year as bitcoin’s 23% price decline triggered a $227 million non-cash mark-to-market loss and a $59 million net loss. Revenue for the quarter was $78.3 million, slightly below estimates but up from $64.2 million a year earlier, with full-year revenue of $185.2 million. 

The firm ended last year with 5,401 BTC and has since grown holdings above 6,000 BTC through mining and open-market purchases. 

The company said roughly one-third of its bitcoin came from mining, the rest from acquisitions. It operates at a 53% mining margin, indicating profitability despite volatility. 

Since its Nasdaq debut in September of 2025, shares have fallen sharply from peak levels, down over 90%.

Industry peers such as MARA and Riot are diversifying into AI infrastructure, while Hut 8 supports American Bitcoin and expanded credit facilities to $400 million, alongside a $200 million revolving line from Two Prime, strengthening liquidity. 

At the time of writing, shares of ABTC are near $0.90 a share.
