American Bitcoin Corp. has quietly climbed into the upper ranks of corporate Bitcoin holders, boosting its reserves to 3,865 BTC — a cache worth about $445 million at current market prices.
The company, which operates both as a miner and long-term accumulator, revealed that roughly 1,400 BTC were added since September as part of its ongoing accumulation strategy.
Emerging from a spinoff of Hut 8 earlier this year, American Bitcoin has evolved from a traditional mining venture into what it calls a “Bitcoin accumulation platform.” Its reserves have grown more than sevenfold since launch, positioning the firm as the 26th-largest public holder of Bitcoin worldwide. Executives say the focus is not just on mining efficiency but on maximizing Bitcoin ownership per share — a goal they’ve formalized through a new performance metric.
Measuring Bitcoin Value Per Share
To give investors a clearer sense of exposure, the company has introduced “Satoshis Per Share” (SPS) — a figure representing how much Bitcoin each share indirectly holds. As of October, American Bitcoin’s SPS stands at 418, up more than 50% since early September. Co-founder Eric Trump, who oversees strategy, described SPS as a “transparent way to measure the company’s real Bitcoin growth,” adding that regular updates will be issued as holdings expand.
Much of the firm’s growth stems from a blend of direct market purchases and self-mined production, supported by long-term agreements with key industry players. Earlier this year, American Bitcoin pledged a portion of its holdings as collateral to Bitmain to secure over 16,000 Antminer units, which are being deployed at Hut 8’s massive Vega mining facility in Texas. Once fully operational, the site is expected to push American Bitcoin toward 25 exahashes per second of hashrate capacity.
Building an Advantage Through Integration
Executive Chairman Asher Genoot says American Bitcoin’s vertically integrated structure gives it an edge over typical treasury companies. “Producing Bitcoin directly lets us control costs and build long-term value for shareholders,” he explained, emphasizing that the company’s mining output strengthens its treasury without depending entirely on market purchases.
That approach was reinforced through the company’s recent merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, which consolidated operations and provided access to advanced infrastructure. The all-stock deal left Gryphon with a small equity stake while allowing American Bitcoin to retain full strategic control and accelerate its public market ambitions.
A New Type of Bitcoin Company
American Bitcoin’s rise reflects a broader trend of firms positioning Bitcoin as a corporate asset rather than a speculative investment. While traditional miners focus on production and treasury firms on accumulation, American Bitcoin is merging both models — effectively transforming mined Bitcoin into shareholder equity.
With further acquisitions expected before year’s end, the Trump-backed company is now shaping up to be one of the most ambitious players in the evolving ecosystem of publicly traded Bitcoin treasuries.
