American Bitcoin employs a dual strategy of mining revenue retention and market purchases to rapidly build substantial Bitcoin reserves within six months of going public. Eric Trump emphasized that the recent 21-day accumulation rate has significantly accelerated, reflecting the company’s active efforts to increase its allocation.
Financially, ABTC reported Q4 revenue of $78.3 million, a 22% quarter-over-quarter increase from $64.2 million in Q3. The company also disclosed that in Q4 2025, it mined Bitcoin at a cost 53% below the spot market price, demonstrating structural advantages in hash rate efficiency and cost control.
Mining Farm Expansion Plan: Target Hash Rate to Reach 28.1 EH/s
To support its long-term Bitcoin accumulation goals, American Bitcoin announced a mining expansion plan to further strengthen its mining infrastructure.
Key Technical Parameters of the Expansion
New Miners: 11,298 ASIC miners, adding approximately 3.05 EH/s of hash rate, with an efficiency of about 13.5 J/TH
Deployment Schedule: Expected to be completed by March 2026, with a total of approximately 89,242 miners
Hash Rate Goal: Once all miners are online, the company’s own hash rate is projected to reach 28.1 EH/s, with an average efficiency of 16.0 J/TH
The expansion of the mining farm and the Bitcoin treasury strategy create a synergistic effect—higher mining capacity directly translates into faster Bitcoin accumulation, reducing reliance on market purchases.

The announcement of ABTC’s holdings coincided with Bitcoin breaking the $73,000 mark, benefiting cryptocurrency-related stocks. ABTC’s stock jumped from the previous close of $1.03 to $1.17, with a daily trading volume of 12.33 million shares.
Meanwhile, Strategy (stock code: MSTR) also attracted market attention with its accumulation activities. According to STRC.live data, Strategy raised funds this week through perpetual preferred stock Stretch (STRC) to purchase approximately 3,015 Bitcoin, with the largest single-day purchase of about 1,000 coins—the highest since July 2025. Analyst Adam Livingston noted that if STRC’s capital inflow continues to grow, weekly Bitcoin purchases could further increase. MSTR’s stock price rose 11.45% on the same day, closing at $147.91, with a market cap of $47.12 billion.
