American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), the Trump family-backed venture, has officially reached a milestone of over 6,000 Bitcoin in its corporate treasury.
This comes just six months after going public. According to BitcoinTreasuries.net, ABTC currently holds 6,039 BTC, valued at approximately $409 million. This places the company as the 17th largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, surpassing firms such as GameStop and Gemini Space Station.
In a post on X, Eric Trump emphasized that this achievement highlights ABTC’s ability to build one of the fastest-growing public Bitcoin treasuries in a short period, demonstrating both speed and scale.
Key Points
- ABTC now holds 6,039 BTC (~$409M), making it the 17th largest corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide.
- The company fuels its growth through a ‘mining-to-treasury’ approach, keeping the mined Bitcoin rather than selling it.
- Since its Nasdaq debut in September 2025, ABTC has achieved a 116% yield in Bitcoin through mining and market purchases.
- January 2026 alone saw the addition of 217 BTC to its reserves.
- Despite treasury growth, ABTC’s shares have dropped 86%, affected by Bitcoin volatility and lock-up expirations.
Mining-to-Treasury Model Fuels Growth
The company attributes its swift Bitcoin accumulation to a hybrid strategy that combines in-house mining with direct market purchases. Unlike traditional miners, which often sell coins to cover operating expenses, ABTC retains the Bitcoin it mines through a “mining-to-treasury” approach. In January alone, the firm added approximately 217 BTC to its reserves.
From its Nasdaq debut in September 2025 through late January 2026, ABTC achieved a Bitcoin yield of approximately 116%. This reflects real growth from mined and purchased coins rather than dilution through equity issuance. This strategy highlights the company’s focus on steadily building its holdings.
Stock Performance and Market Sentiment
Despite strong Bitcoin accumulation, ABTC’s stock has struggled in the market. Shares have declined 86% since the Nasdaq listing, affected by both a bearish Bitcoin market and the expiration of the lock-up period, which allowed early investors to sell their shares.
Nevertheless, analysts remain confident. Both Roth Capital and H.C. Wainwright & Co. have issued Buy ratings with a $4 price target, signaling belief in the company’s long-term growth prospects despite short-term stock volatility.
In the latest session, ABTC shares closed at $1.09, down 3.54%, and fell an additional 0.14% in after-hours trading.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded at $68,031, down 0.2% over the past 24 hours. These numbers reflect the ongoing volatility impacting both ABTC stock and the broader cryptocurrency market.
