American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency mining firm with ties to the Trump family, has announced a significant increase in its bitcoin reserves, now totaling approximately 5,843 BTC. This growth reflects a remarkable bitcoin yield of around 116% since the company debuted on Nasdaq on September 3, 2025, through January 25, 2026.
Bitcoin yield, as defined by American Bitcoin, encompasses the growth in the value of the company’s bitcoin holdings over time, accounting for both mined coins and those purchased on the market.
The company revealed its latest figures on social media platform X, highlighting the impressive accumulation of bitcoin within a relatively short time frame.
Ownership of American Bitcoin is notably concentrated, with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump each holding roughly 20% stakes in the firm. The company emerged as a standalone public entity following a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, after which it separated from Hut 8’s mining operations. Hut 8 continues to retain around an 80% ownership in the venture.
On the stock market, American Bitcoin’s shares experienced about a 2% uptick during premarket trading on Tuesday. However, despite the recent gains, the stock remains down approximately 11% for the year, reflecting broader market challenges.
The firm’s current bitcoin holdings position it among the larger corporate bitcoin treasuries, marking a strategic shift where publicly listed miners increasingly view their bitcoin assets as long-term additions to their balance sheets. This move appears significant amid the fluctuating bitcoin prices, which have recently dipped from earlier highs.
In its Q3 2025 earnings report, American Bitcoin noted a return to profitability, with a notable rise in revenue driven by an expansion in mining capacity and favorable bitcoin price movements earlier in the market cycle. Comparatively, the company revealed that its bitcoin reserves had previously surpassed 4,000 BTC, signifying a gain of over 1,800 coins since that report.
As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, American Bitcoin’s continued growth reflects a broader trend among mining firms reevaluating their strategies and balancing asset management with market dynamics.
