In a major shake-up in corporate digital reserves , American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC) has officially crossed the 6,000 BTC milestone. The Florida based miner and treasury management outfit now holds a total of 6,049 Bitcoin worth around $425.82 million – a staggering amount that has catapulted ABTC into the top 20 public Bitcoin holders globally, putting it in the same elite league as Nakamoto Inc. and GameStop
Strategic Accumulation: The Foundry Digital Connection
The surge in ABTC’s Bitcoin holdings is down to a disciplined “mining to treasury” pipeline that’s been running smoothly over the last 18 days. During that time, the company acquired a further 196 BTC through a combination of buying up Bitcoin on the open market and regular daily transfers from its partner, Foundry Digital.
Recent On-Chain Inflows
According to Arkham’s blockchain intelligence , American Bitcoin ‘s cold storage has been receiving a steady supply of fresh Bitcoin deposits over the last few days :
- Last 2 hours: +10.878 BTC
- 24 hours ago: +10.877 BTC
- 48 hours ago: +10.873 BTC
This looks like a deliberate strategy by the company to treat Bitcoin as a rock-solid balance sheet asset – and it’s paid off spectacularly with the recent market rebound triggered by a softer than expected inflation reading (2.4% CPI).
Market Reaction: ABTC Stock Gains in After-Hours
Wall Street has been pretty kind to the news. Despite doing it tough this year, ABTC shares climbed 0.87% and traded at $1.14 in recent sessions.

Operational Scale: The Hut 8 Partnership
The partnership with Hut 8 Corp. (which retains an 80% stake in the venture) is currently churning out between 8 and 10 BTC every day – a pretty impressive figure when you consider the scale of the set-up ( it spans the size of five football fields).
The Trump Strategic Influence
When Eric Trump (Chief Strategy Officer and cofounder of ABTC) visited the plant recently he picked up on the company’s mission to build a “strategic bitcoin reserve” – by blending the power of industrial scale mining with long-term holding, ABTC is aiming to leave more traditional “sell-as-you-mine” outfits in the dust.
The Verdict: A High-Beta Proxy for $70k Bitcoin
As Bitcoin stabilises at $70,286, ABTC has positioned itself as a highly leveraged proxy for the direction of the market . While the company’s 52 week range of $0.63 – $14.65 underlines the wild fluctuations that still exist, its growing stash of 6,049 coins provides a defacto floor for valuation as the crypto market cap pushes towards $2.41 trillion.
