American Bitcoin, backed by the Trump family, has increased its bitcoin reserves to approximately 5,843 BTC, pushing the company into the ranks of the world’s largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.
The miner said it achieved a bitcoin return of approximately 116% from its Nasdaq debut on September 3, 2025 to January 25, 2026, reflecting the buildup during a volatile stretch for the broader crypto market.
Bitcoin performance is a simple way to show how much a company’s Bitcoin holdings have grown over time, including coins mined or purchased. A higher yield means the company increased its exposure to bitcoin without raising new capital, which investors often see as efficiently growing its balance sheet.

The latest figures put American Bitcoin as the 18th largest corporate holder of bitcoin, ahead of companies such as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop Corp.
Shares of American Bitcoin rose about 2% in premarket trading on Tuesday, according to Yahoo Finance, although the stock is still down about 11% so far this year as investors navigate changing macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical uncertainty and recent bitcoin price weakness.
The booking growth follows a strong operating period for the company after going public last year. American Bitcoin is approximately 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump and became an independent public entity after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and separating from Hut 8’s mining operations. Hut 8 retains approximately 80% interest in the business.
In its third-quarter 2025 earnings, American Bitcoin reported a return to profitability and a strong increase in revenue as it expanded mining capacity and benefited from higher bitcoin prices early in the cycle. At the time, the company said its bitcoin holdings had increased to just over 4,000 BTC, meaning reserves have grown by more than 1,800 coins in the months since.
The accumulation comes as publicly traded miners increasingly position bitcoin on their balance sheets as a long-term asset rather than a short-term source of liquidity.
That strategy has gained traction even as bitcoin trades below recent highs and broader markets see a flight toward precious metals and bonds.
For investors, the growing reserves of US Bitcoin add another insight into how some mining companies are choosing to manage their balance sheets in a post-ETF, institution-heavy bitcoin market.
