American Bitcoin Expands Bitcoin Reserves to 5,843 BTC

• American Bitcoin added 416 BTC, lifting total holdings to about 5,843 BTC worth roughly $514 million.

• The miner jumped from 30th to 18th among corporate Bitcoin holders in under five months after its Nasdaq debut.

• Despite reserve growth and a 116% Bitcoin yield, ABTC shares remain down over 13% year to date.

American Bitcoin disclosed a major increase in its Bitcoin reserves, lifting total holdings to about 5,843 BTC. The update followed a fresh purchase completed before January 25, 2026. The Trump-backed miner reported the activity after its Nasdaq debut on September 3, 2025, as it continued building its corporate Bitcoin treasury.

Reserve Growth and Market Reaction

According to company disclosures, American Bitcoin added 416 BTC, bringing total reserves to an estimated value of $514 million. The company also reported a Bitcoin yield of roughly 116% between its Nasdaq debut and January 25, 2026.

Bitcoin yield measures growth in holdings, including mined or purchased coins, excluding capital raises. Following the announcement, ABTC shares moved higher in premarket trading. However, the stock later gave back gains and traded flat near $1.51.

Despite the reserve increase, ABTC remains down more than 13% year-to-date. The decline followed Bitcoin’s recent drop to around $86,000, which weighed on crypto-linked equities.

Climb Among Corporate Bitcoin Holders

With the latest purchase, American Bitcoin now ranks as the 18th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. Notably, the company climbed from 30th place in under five months. It surpassed firms including Nakamoto Inc., ProCap, and GameStop, although GameStop recently transferred its Bitcoin to Coinbase.

Eric Trump, who co-founded American Bitcoin, commented on the ranking move. He said the company has moved quickly past several peers while expanding U.S.-based Bitcoin infrastructure. He also noted that Galaxy Digital represents the next target in the rankings.

Ownership Structure and Operational Context

American Bitcoin is roughly 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The company became a standalone public entity after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and spinning out from Hut 8. Hut 8 retains an estimated 80% ownership stake.

In its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, American Bitcoin returned to profitability. The company reported higher revenue after expanding mining capacity. At that time, it held just over 4,000 BTC, indicating reserves grew by more than 1,800 BTC in recent months.
