Trump-backed American Bitcoin has seen its Bitcoin reserves move above 6,000 BTC, now valued at $425.82 million. The purchase activity follows Bitcoin’s climb back above $70,000, despite wider market fears over a possible Bitcoin dip. The company built its BTC stack through both mining and direct buying.
American Bitcoin Holdings Climb Past 6,000 BTC Mark
According to Arkham Intelligence, American Bitcoin has accumulated 6,049 BTC after buying 196 BTC over the past 18 days. The firm now ranks among the top 20 largest public Bitcoin holders globally. It also is in the same group as Nakamoto Inc., Anthony Pompliano’s ProCap, and GameStop.
There have been multiple transfers from Foundry Digital into American Bitcoin. Two hours ago, Foundry Digital transferred 10.878 BTC to the company. One day ago, another transfer delivered 10.877 BTC, from a prior 10.873 BTC two days ago.
This steady stream of inflows strengthened American Bitcoin’s reserve position during a market rebound. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s move above $70,000 followed a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation report.

Hut 8 Mining Partnership Drives Daily BTC Production
American Bitcoin has also pointed to its mining expansion through Hut 8 Corp. In a company update, Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot said the operation mines about 8 to 10 Bitcoin per day. He also explained Bitcoin’s fixed supply, noting only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist.
Genoot, who serves as chairman of American Bitcoin, said Bitcoin issuance drops every four years due to halving cycles. He added that this schedule leads to the final supply being reached around the year 2140. He also described the firm’s new mining site as spanning roughly five football fields.
Eric Trump said he visited the facility for the first time and called it new for the company. Genoot said Hut 8 and American Bitcoin expanded after meeting in southern Florida. He explained that Hut 8’s infrastructure supported American Bitcoin’s mining and holding strategy.
