American Bitcoin (ABTC) lifts holdings to nearly 5,900 BTC

The Trump family-backed American Bitcoin Company has increased its Bitcoin reserves to approximately 5,843 BTC, pushing the company into the ranks of the world’s largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.

The miner said its Bitcoin returns were approximately 116% from its debut on Nasdaq on September 3, 2025, to January 25, 2026, reflecting accumulation during periods of volatility in the broader crypto market.

Bitcoin Yield is a simple way to show how much a company’s Bitcoin holdings have grown over time, including Bitcoin mined or purchased. The higher yield means the company is increasing its Bitcoin exposure without raising new capital, which investors generally view as effective balance sheet growth.

Latest data shows that U.S. Bitcoin Inc. is the 18th largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, ahead of companies such as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop Corp.

U.S. Bitcoin shares rose about 2% in premarket trading on Tuesday, but are still down about 11% year to date as investors grapple with changes in the macro environment, geopolitical uncertainty and recent weakness in Bitcoin prices, according to Yahoo Finance.

The increase in reserves follows a strong operating period since the company floated last year. American Bitcoin, roughly 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, became an independent public entity after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and spinning off from Hut 8’s mining operations. Hut 8 retains approximately 80% of the business.

In its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, U.S. Bitcoin reported that it had returned to profitability with significant revenue growth as it expanded mining capacity and benefited from rising Bitcoin prices early in the cycle. At the time, the company said its Bitcoin holdings had grown to more than 4,000 BTC, meaning the reserve had grown by more than 1,800 BTC in the months since.

The accumulation of Bitcoin comes as publicly traded miners increasingly position Bitcoin on their balance sheets as a long-term asset rather than a short-term source of liquidity.

The strategy has gained traction despite Bitcoin trading below recent highs and broader market exposure to precious metals and bonds.

For investors, the U.S.’s growing Bitcoin reserves provide another data point on how some mining companies choose to manage their balance sheets in the post-ETF, institutional-heavy Bitcoin market.
