American Bitcoin Accelerates Accumulation
Key Highlights:
• American Bitcoin, backed by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., has expanded its Bitcoin treasury to 4,004 BTC worth $415 million, making it the 25th largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
• The Trump family’s crypto-linked ventures have reportedly generated $1 billion in pre-tax gains, spanning stablecoins, mining, and DeFi investments.
Yello Paradisers! American Bitcoin (NASDAQ: ABTC), the Trump-backed Bitcoin treasury and mining firm, has ramped up its accumulation campaign, adding 139 BTC between October 24 and November 5, worth over $14 million at current prices. The company now holds 4,004 BTC valued at roughly $415 million, data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows.
Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Eric Trump said the company is expanding “rapidly and cost-effectively” through a dual strategy of large-scale mining and disciplined market purchases, mirroring Strategy’s (formerly MicroStrategy) corporate playbook. The firm’s stock rose 2% in New York trading after the announcement.
This expansion solidifies American Bitcoin’s position as a top-25 global corporate BTC holder, a milestone reached just months after the company’s September Nasdaq debut.
The Mergers Behind the Mining Empire
American Bitcoin’s rapid rise was fueled by a series of aggressive mergers. The Trump brothers’ business venture merged earlier this year with Canadian miner Hut 8, before executing a stock-for-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, which provided the public listing framework.
The merged entity now operates as a vertically integrated Bitcoin miner and treasury, controlling both on-chain production and balance sheet exposure. The model combines Bitcoin mining’s long-term cost advantage with flexible market buying, a structure designed to sustain growth even as post-halving rewards shrink.
The April 2024 Bitcoin halving slashed mining rewards from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC, tightening profitability across the sector. Many miners have since diversified into AI infrastructure and high-performance computing (HPC), while American Bitcoin’s hybrid model keeps it anchored in both mining and treasury accumulation.
Trump Family’s Expanding Crypto Footprint
The Financial Times recently reported that the Trump family’s crypto ventures have generated around $1 billion in pre-tax gains in just a year. Their expanding portfolio spans memecoins, stablecoins, and tokenized assets, including the TRUMP and MELANIA tokens ($427 million combined), and WLFI, a token reportedly adding another $550 million in value.
The family’s USD1 stablecoin, backed one-to-one by U.S. Treasuries, has attracted $2.71 billion in reserves and transaction fees, drawing significant global investment. Chinese entrepreneur Justin Sun invested $75 million in WLFI, while Abu Dhabi’s MGX Fund deployed $2 billion into Binance using USD1.
Even Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), once a loss-making venture, has evolved into a $3 billion cash-generating powerhouse, driven by wallet products and token-linked ecosystems.
The Next Corporate Bitcoin Wave
With Bitcoin rebounding above $103,000, corporate treasuries are once again leading institutional accumulation. More than 200 publicly traded companies now hold BTC on their balance sheets, and American Bitcoin’s rapid growth suggests the Trump family is positioning itself at the forefront of this new wave of corporate adoption.
In our next MCP YouTube stream, Simon will dissect how American Bitcoin’s hybrid mining-treasury model could influence future institutional accumulation, and whether political influence is quietly shaping corporate Bitcoin strategy.
