Trump family-backed American Bitcoin lifts bitcoin holdings to nearly 5,900 coins
American Bitcoin, backed by the Trump family, increased its BTC reserves to nearly 5,843 coins, becoming a top corporate holder.Summary
American Bitcoin (ABTC), which is approximately 20% owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, has significantly boosted its Bitcoin reserves to about 5,843 BTC. This accumulation places the company as the 18th-largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency, ahead of entities like GameStop Corp. The company achieved a Bitcoin yield of roughly 116% from its Nasdaq debut in September 2025 through January 2026, indicating efficient balance-sheet growth by increasing exposure without raising new capital. This reserve growth follows a strong operational period after ABTC became public via a merger and spin-off from Hut 8, which retains an 80% stake. The move aligns with a broader trend among publicly listed miners positioning Bitcoin as a long-term asset on their balance sheets.
