Trump family-backed American Raises Bitcoin Holdings
Nasdaq-listed American Bitcoin Corp increased Bitcoin treasury holdings to 5,098 BTC as of December 14, 2025, as per a press release on December 16.
It positioned the company among the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies by holdings. The company’s market capitalization stands at $27.54 million.
BTCs were accumulated through a combination of mining operations and strategic purchases, including Bitcoin held in custody or pledged for miner purchases under an agreement with BITMAIN.
American Bitcoin, a majority-owned subsidiary of Hut 8 Corp., also announced it is introducing a Bitcoin yield metric to complement its existing Satoshis Per Share (SPS) disclosure.
The new metric will measure the percentage change in SPS over defined periods, providing investors with information about how their Bitcoin exposure evolves over time.
The company has achieved a BTC yield of 96.5% from its Nasdaq debut in September.
“In just over three months since our Nasdaq listing, we have surged past dozens of companies with our Bitcoin reserve now exceeding 5,098 BTC,” said Eric Trump, co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin.
The company stated it plans to make materials and updates available on its website and social media channels regarding its Bitcoin holdings, SPS, Bitcoin Yield, and related performance metrics.
