Eric Trump recently announced that American Bitcoin Corp, a mining and treasury firm backed by the Trump family, has officially acquired 6,000 Bitcoin in its reserves. This achievement positions the company as one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin globally, and it comes less than six months after its public trading debut on Nasdaq.
In a statement made via his social media account, Trump celebrated the milestone, indicating that the firm reached the significant figure of 6,000 BTC “in under 6 months since our Nasdaq debut.” Current blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence shows that American Bitcoin now holds 6,072 BTC, placing it among the top-20 publicly traded Bitcoin treasury holders worldwide.
American Bitcoin’s rapid growth can be attributed to a “mining to treasury” model that combines mining output with direct market purchases. This strategy has allowed the company to accumulate approximately 217 BTC just in January. The venture’s partnership with Hut 8 Corp, which holds an 80% stake in American Bitcoin, is pivotal to its operation, reportedly yielding between 8 and 10 BTC daily from a mining facility significantly sized at five football fields.
During a recent visit to the mining facility, Eric Trump highlighted the company’s objective of creating a “strategic Bitcoin reserve,” emphasizing a strategy of retaining mined assets rather than selling to meet operational costs. Since its Nasdaq debut in September 2025, American Bitcoin has reported a Bitcoin yield of approximately 116%, indicating substantial growth in holdings through mining and purchases, independent of any capital raising activities.
In a related development, Hyperscale Data, based in Las Vegas, also reported reaching a milestone with its Bitcoin treasury now at 600.5299 BTC, valued at around $41.3 million. Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III remarked that surpassing 600 Bitcoin reinforces their commitment to a robust Bitcoin treasury strategy. The company’s assets are divided among subsidiaries, with Sentinum holding 554.4002 BTC and Ault Capital Group possessing 46.1711 BTC.
Interestingly, Hyperscale Data’s combined cash, restricted cash, and Bitcoin valued at around $87.6 million exceed the company’s market capitalization, indicating a disconnect that the management attributes to market perceptions failing to accurately reflect the company’s balance sheet strength. They aim to aggressively invest 5% of their allocated cash weekly into Bitcoin, with an overarching goal of reaching $100 million in Bitcoin reserves.
Similarly, DDC Enterprise, a global Asian food platform, announced an increase in its corporate treasury to 2,068 BTC after acquiring an additional 80 Bitcoin. This marks its sixth consecutive week of Bitcoin accumulation, translating to a significant 74.8% rise in holdings since the beginning of the year. Founder and CEO Norma Chu noted that this achievement is reflective of “disciplined execution and long-term treasury strategy.” DDC’s average acquisition cost is reported at $84,944 per coin, diverging from many other firms facing steep market volatility.
The trend of corporate Bitcoin treasury accumulation early in 2026 signifies a shift in market dynamics, with public companies increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset rather than merely a speculative investment. Despite stock price volatility for many treasury firms, the rate of Bitcoin accumulation is accelerating, as evidenced by the recent milestones reached by American Bitcoin, Hyperscale, and DDC—all occurring within days of each other as Bitcoin stabilizes above the $70,000 mark.
