American Bitcoin, backed by the Trump family, has increased its bitcoin holdings to around 5,843 BTC, putting the company among the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.
The miner reported a bitcoin yield of roughly 116% from its Nasdaq debut on September 3, 2025, through January 25, 2026, reflecting accumulation during a volatile stretch for the broader crypto market. Bitcoin yield tracks growth in a company’s bitcoin reserves, including mined or purchased coins, and higher yields are often seen as a sign of efficient balance-sheet expansion without raising additional capital.
The latest figures rank American Bitcoin as the 18th-largest corporate bitcoin holder, ahead of companies such as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop Corp. Shares rose about 2% in premarket trading Tuesday, though the stock remains down roughly 11% year-to-date amid macroeconomic uncertainty and recent bitcoin weakness.
The accumulation comes after a strong operational period following the company’s public debut. American Bitcoin is roughly 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump and became a standalone entity after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and spinning out from Hut 8, which retains an 80% stake.
In Q3 2025, the company returned to profitability and posted a sharp revenue increase, driven by expanded mining capacity and earlier bitcoin price gains. Since then, holdings have grown by more than 1,800 BTC.
The strategy reflects a broader trend among publicly listed miners to treat bitcoin as a long-term balance-sheet asset rather than a source of near-term liquidity, even as markets rotate toward traditional safe havens.
