Trump Family-Backed American Bitcoin Raises Holdings to Almost 5,900 BTC

American Bitcoin, backed by the Trump family, has increased its bitcoin holdings to roughly 5,843 BTC, placing the company among the world’s largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.

The miner reported a bitcoin yield of about 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 measures growth in a company’s bitcoin reserves, including mined or purchased coins, and higher yields often signal efficient balance-sheet expansion without raising new capital.

With these latest figures, American Bitcoin ranks as the 18th-largest corporate bitcoin holder, surpassing firms such as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop Corp. Shares rose around 2% in premarket trading Tuesday, according to Yahoo Finance, though the stock remains down roughly 11% year-to-date amid macro uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and recent weakness in bitcoin prices.

The increase follows a strong operational period since going public. American Bitcoin is about 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump and became a standalone public company after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and spinning out from Hut 8’s mining operations, with Hut 8 retaining an approximately 80% stake.

In its Q3 2025 report, the company returned to profitability and posted a sharp revenue increase, driven by expanded mining capacity and higher bitcoin prices earlier in the cycle. At that time, its holdings stood just above 4,000 BTC, meaning reserves have grown by more than 1,800 coins in the past few months.

The accumulation reflects a broader trend among publicly listed miners to hold bitcoin as a long-term asset rather than using it for short-term liquidity. Even as bitcoin trades below recent highs, investors are watching how firms like American Bitcoin manage their balance sheets in an increasingly institution-driven market.
