The Trump family-backed American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC) has quietly amassed a Bitcoin treasury surpassing 6,000 BTC, solidifying its position as one of the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, ABTC now holds 6,060 BTC, a cache valued at approximately $413 million, placing it among the top 20 listed Bitcoin holders globally.
Building a Strategic Treasury
The company’s strategy combines Bitcoin mining with strategic market purchases, a model that has gained traction among firms seeking long-term exposure to Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Over the past month, ABTC has added or mined roughly 217 BTC, expanding its reserve as Bitcoin has attempted to reclaim levels above $70,000.
Comparative Holdings and Market Performance
American Bitcoin’s Bitcoin holdings are closing in on those of Galaxy Digital, which currently holds 6,894 BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net. Despite the growing Bitcoin stash, ABTC shares have faced a challenging market, trading around $1.14 after Friday’s close, up about 1.75%. However, the stock has declined significantly over the past two months, falling from above $2 in early January to its current level, down roughly 45% year to date.
A Unique Approach to Bitcoin Treasury Management
ABTC has framed its approach as a “mining to treasury” pipeline, distinguishing itself from pure mining operations by retaining Bitcoin rather than selling it into the market. This strategy aims to outperform traditional mining companies by leveraging both mining output and market purchases to build a robust Bitcoin treasury.
Bitcoin Yield and Market Impact
Earlier this year, ABTC reported reserves of nearly 5,843 BTC and cited a Bitcoin yield of roughly 116% since its Nasdaq debut in September 2025. Bitcoin yield measures the growth in holdings from both mined and purchased coins, separate from capital-raising activities. With reserves now exceeding 6,000 BTC, ABTC joins a growing cohort of public companies treating Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
Market Rebound and Forward-Looking Insights
On Saturday, Bitcoin rebounded above $70,000, driven by a sharp February increase and cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation data that boosted risk appetite. The softer inflation figures strengthened expectations of earlier Federal Reserve rate cuts, lifting crypto markets and pushing Bitcoin’s market cap back above $1.4 trillion.
Last year, ABTC made its Nasdaq debut in September following a spin-off from Hut 8 Corp. Eric Trump, co-founder and chief strategy officer, and Donald Trump Jr., an investor, have been instrumental in the company’s launch and growth. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, ABTC’s strategic approach to Bitcoin treasury management positions it to navigate the volatile landscape and capitalize on long-term opportunities.
