The Trump family-backed American Bitcoin has increased its bitcoin reserves to about 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 yield of roughly 116% from its Nasdaq debut on Sept. 3, 2025 through Jan. 25, 2026, reflecting accumulation during a volatile stretch for the broader crypto market.

Bitcoin yield is a simple way to show how much a company’s bitcoin holdings have grown over time, including coins mined or bought. A higher yield means the firm increased its bitcoin exposure without raising new capital, which investors often see as efficient balance-sheet growth.

The latest figures place American Bitcoin as the 18th-largest corporate holder of bitcoin, ahead of firms such as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop Corp.

Shares of American Bitcoin rose about 2% in premarket trading Tuesday, according to Yahoo Finance, though the stock remains down roughly 11% year-to-date as investors navigate shifting macro conditions, geopolitical uncertainty and recent weakness in bitcoin prices.

The reserve growth follows a strong operational period for the company after going public last year. American Bitcoin is roughly 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump and became a standalone public entity after merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and spinning out from Hut 8’s mining operations. Hut 8 retains an approximately 80% stake in the business.

In its Q3 2025 earnings, American Bitcoin reported a return to profitability and a sharp jump in revenue as it expanded mining capacity and benefited from higher bitcoin prices earlier in the cycle. At the time, the company said its bitcoin holdings had risen 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 listed miners increasingly position bitcoin on their balance sheets as a long-term asset rather than a source of near-term liquidity.

That strategy has gained traction even as bitcoin trades below recent highs and broader markets see a flight to precious metals and bonds.

For investors, American Bitcoin’s growing reserves add another data point in how some mining firms are choosing to manage balance sheets in a post-ETF, institution-heavy bitcoin market.
