Trump-Backed American Bitcoin Joins Top 20 Corporate Bitcoin Holders

Key Highlights

  • American Bitcoin Corp. now holds over 5,098 BTC, ranking it among the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies.
  • The company introduced Satoshis Per Share (SPS) and Bitcoin Yield metrics to show investors their Bitcoin exposure per share and how it changes.
  • ABTC stock fell over 50% in early December and is currently trading at $1.59, despite growing Bitcoin holdings.

American Bitcoin Corp. (Nasdaq: ABTC), a Bitcoin mining and accumulation company backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, reported holding about 5,098 Bitcoin (BTC) as of December 17, 2025. 

The Miami-based firm said it accumulated BTC through a mix of in-house mining and strategic purchases in the market. Some of the Bitcoin is held in custody or pledged as collateral for miner purchases under an agreement with hardware manufacturer Bitmain.

This places the company among the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies, according to Bitcoin Treasuries. The move is notable, as it comes within just three months of its Nasdaq listing.

Frequent BTC purchases in December

Earlier this month, American Bitcoin added roughly 416 BTC in a single week, increasing its holdings from around 4,783 BTC as of December 8. The firm made another purchase on December 15 of 261 BTC, which brought the total close to 5,044 BTC. With the latest purchase, the firm now holds a total of 5,098 BTC, worth nearly $445 million.

The company said its strategy is about focusing on holding Bitcoin for the long term and not reacting to short-term price changes, while using a system designed to keep as much Bitcoin as possible.

New metrics to give investors clearer insights

American Bitcoin Corp also disclosed its proprietary Satoshis Per Share (SPS) metric, which shows the amount of Bitcoin attributable to each outstanding share. As of December 8, SPS went up to 507 satoshis per share, a 17% rise in a little over a month.

Additionally, the firm introduced another metric, Bitcoin Yield, which tracks the percentage change in SPS over a defined period. These metrics are designed to give investors a clearer understanding of both per-share Bitcoin exposure and how it changes over time.

“I am incredibly proud of our tremendous growth. In just over three months since our Nasdaq listing, we have surged past dozens of companies — propelling us into the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies.” Eric Trump, co-founder and chief strategy officer, said in the official release.

Despite growing Bitcoin holdings, the company’s stock dropped over 50% early this month, which triggered a stop on trading as it erased months of gains. Currently, the share is trading for $1.59, down about 67% from its monthly high above $5, according to Yahoo Finance.
