With the latest acquisition, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 5,843 BTC, ranking it as the 18th-largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder worldwide, surpassing firms such as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop.
Since its Nasdaq debut in September 2025, American Bitcoin reports a Bitcoin yield of roughly 116%, highlighting the aggressive treasury strategy adopted by the company and its backers.
Trump Family Takes Active Role in Management
American Bitcoin was formed following a business spin-off from major mining operator Hut 8, which retains roughly 80% ownership. The remaining 20% stake is held by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, placing the Trump family directly inside the company’s leadership and strategic direction.
The firm went public after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and raised approximately $220 million in a Solari Capital–led funding round at the time of listing.
Eric Trump emphasized that American Bitcoin climbed from 30th to 18th place in global corporate BTC rankings in less than five months, pointing to a broader industry trend in which mining firms increasingly hold mined Bitcoin as a long-term asset instead of selling immediately.
Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation Accelerates
American Bitcoin’s holdings have grown sharply from roughly 4,000 BTC in Q3 2025, reflecting a deliberate pivot toward Bitcoin treasury accumulation.
Despite this expansion, the company’s stock is down about 12% year-to-date, underscoring a growing divergence between crypto asset accumulation and equity market performance, which is a dynamic closely watched by investors tracking crypto-related stocks.
The Trump family’s ambitions extend beyond mining. Eric Trump has reiterated plans to help position the United States as the “crypto capital of the world,” aligning with broader political messaging around turning America into a global Bitcoin powerhouse.
The family is also involved in other crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial. Collectively, Trump-linked digital asset initiatives are estimated to have generated more than $3 billion in asset value, further cementing their expanding footprint in the crypto sector.
As institutional and corporate players continue to build Bitcoin reserves, American Bitcoin’s rapid accumulation highlights how mining firms are evolving into full-scale digital asset treasury operators, signaling a deeper integration between traditional business structures and crypto-native strategies.
