American Bitcoin is stacking sats 

Trump is at least putting his philosophy into practice. American Bitcoin, the mining company he leads, which went public earlier this year through a reverse merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, added more than 3,000 BTC in the third quarter, bringing its total holdings to over 4,000 BTC.

Trump has repeatedly emphasized increasing the company’s Bitcoin reserves, prioritizing metrics such as its Bitcoin-per-share ratio, which he argues will ultimately strengthen shareholder value.

The moves come amid the Donald Trump administration’s push for broader crypto adoption, highlighted by the January executive order on digital assets, the creation of a federal working group on crypto markets and the passage of key stablecoin legislation. Yet, the value of Bitcoin is little changed from its Jan. 1 price.
