American Bitcoin, a miner backed by members of the trump family, reported that it has lifted its bitcoin reserves to about 5,843 BTC, a level that places it among the largest corporate holders of the asset worldwide.
The company said the increase comes after a period of expansion following its move to public markets, and it framed the accumulation as part of a wider shift among publicly listed miners toward holding bitcoin for the long term rather than routinely converting it to cash.
American Bitcoin’s reserve growth and corporate ranking
The company said its holdings grew enough to make it the 18th-largest corporate owner of bitcoin, based on its own data. In that ranking, American Bitcoin said it moved ahead of firms such as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop Corp. It also reported recently surpassing DeFi Technologies, Capital B, Bitcoin Group SE, and Next Technology Holding Inc., as its reserves continued to climb.
American Bitcoin described its progress in terms of “bitcoin yield,” a metric it uses to track how much its bitcoin position has expanded over time through mining or purchases, without factoring in capital raises. The company said it recorded a bitcoin yield of about 116% from its Nasdaq debut on Sept. 3, 2025, through Jan. 25, 2026.
The latest reserve level suggests a notable jump compared with the company’s position earlier in the public-company period. In its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, American Bitcoin said it held just over 4,000 BTC, which implies an increase of more than 1,800 coins in recent months to reach roughly 5,843 BTC.
Trump family ties and the company’s public-market transition
American Bitcoin’s ownership structure includes direct involvement from the trump family. The company is about 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, according to the company. American Bitcoin became a standalone public company last year after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and spinning out from Hut 8’s mining operations. Hut 8 retains an estimated 80% ownership stake.
Eric Trump said the company has moved quickly in the corporate bitcoin holder standings, climbing from 30th to 18th in less than five months. The company’s own data also emphasized that the reserve build has come alongside business growth after going public.
In its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, American Bitcoin said it returned to profitability and posted higher revenue. The company linked that improvement to increased mining capacity and to higher bitcoin prices earlier in the cycle. The company has presented the larger bitcoin balance as the result of an accumulation strategy that builds on those operational gains.
Market context, stock performance, and the accumulation approach
American Bitcoin said its reserve strategy reflects a broader trend among publicly listed miners. In its view, miners are increasingly treating bitcoin as a long-term asset on the balance sheet rather than a source of near-term liquidity. The company said this shift has gained traction even as investors rotate into assets such as precious metals and bonds amid market uncertainty.
In trading, American Bitcoin shares were down about 0.50% in premarket trading Tuesday, according to Yahoo Finance. The stock remains down roughly 12% year-to-date, based on the same source.
The company’s update comes as bitcoin traded at $88,144, with 24-hour trading volume of about $40 billion and up roughly 1% over the past day. The price was about 1% below its seven-day high of $88,763 and roughly 1% above its seven-day low of $87,180. Circulating supply stood at 19,981,153 BTC out of a maximum supply of 21 million, giving bitcoin a global market capitalization of about $1.76 trillion, up around 1% in the last 24 hours.
Conclusion
American Bitcoin said it now holds roughly 5,843 BTC, pushing it to 18th among corporate bitcoin holders and ahead of several named companies in its ranking. The miner, tied to the trump family through ownership by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, reported a bitcoin yield of about 116% from Sept. 3, 2025, through Jan. 25, 2026, and pointed to an industry shift toward keeping bitcoin as a long-term balance-sheet asset.
