The Miami-based company attributed part of the milestone to an 11% decline in Bitcoin network difficulty, which it said increases mining output by roughly one additional coin per day.

Since listing on the Nasdaq on September 3, 2025, following its merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, the company has combined direct mining with at-the-market equity offerings to fund continued Bitcoin accumulation.

Over the past month, American Bitcoin added approximately 217 $BTC to its reserves, even as Bitcoin’s price slipped below $70,000. The pace of accumulation places the miner among the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin holders globally, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.

Despite its continued Bitcoin accumulation strategy, shares of the mining firm have fallen roughly 37% year to date, trading near $1.10 and down 2% on the day.
