American Bitcoin reported a net loss of $59.45 million for the fourth quarter, a sharp reversal from the $3.48 million profit it recorded in the same period a year ago.

The company had also turned a profit in Q3, making the Q4 swing all the more eye-catching.

The main driver was bitcoin’s price. The cryptocurrency fell roughly 23% during the three-month period ending December 31, 2025.

New FASB rules require companies to mark crypto holdings to market value. That accounting change forced American Bitcoin to book a $227 million non-cash loss tied directly to the drop in bitcoin’s price.

Q4 revenue came in at $78.3 million, up from $64.2 million in the prior-year period. Analysts had expected $79.6 million, so the company came in just short.

For the full year, the company generated $185.2 million in revenue.

Mining Margins Held Up

Even with bitcoin falling, the company’s mining operations stayed profitable. It mined bitcoin at a 53% gross margin during the quarter, meaning production costs stayed well below the spot price.

About one-third of its current bitcoin holdings came from mining. The other two-thirds were acquired through open-market purchases and strategic transactions.

The company relies heavily on infrastructure provided by its majority owner, Hut 8 (HUT), to run its industrial-scale mining operations.

Capital Raise and Bitcoin Holdings

American Bitcoin raised $150.5 million through an at-the-market stock offering during Q4. It used that capital to buy more bitcoin, boosting per-share BTC exposure by nearly 50%.

The company now holds over 6,000 BTC, up from 5,401 at the end of 2025. Eric Trump confirmed the updated holdings in a statement.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. together own 20% of the company. Donald Trump is also listed as a stockholder.

ABTC went public in September 2025, less than a month before bitcoin hit a record high.

The stock is down nearly 90% from its high of around $9 seen last year. Over the past twelve months, it has lost close to 22%.

In pre-market trading on the day of the earnings release, ABTC was up 3.8%, trading at $1.09.

Hut 8, the majority owner, reported its own Q4 earnings the day before. Its stock dropped 7% on the news, even as rivals MARA Holdings (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) moved higher.

Hut 8 ended 2025 with an 8,500 MW development pipeline and secured a new $200 million revolving credit facility, bringing its total credit capacity to $400 million.
