American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC), a mining company backed by the Trump family, reported a net loss of $59.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. At the same time, the company’s revenue rose to $78.3 million, up 22% compared to the previous quarter.

According to its financial report, gross margin in Q4 stood at 53%. The company said it mined Bitcoin at a “53% discount” to the spot purchase price.

However, significant non-cash losses related to the revaluation of digital assets resulted in a full-year net loss of $153.2 million. The primary driver was a decline in the fair value of Bitcoin holdings on its balance sheet.

Co-founder and chief strategy officer Eric Trump said the company held 5,401 BTC at the end of 2025, and its reserves have since grown to more than 6,000 coins. In the fourth quarter alone, the company mined 783 BTC, and 1,654 BTC since the beginning of the second quarter.

To support its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, ABTC raised $150.5 million through an at-the-market stock offering program. Despite this, the company’s shares have fallen 85% over the past six months

Pressure on miners and Trump-linked crypto projects

The results come amid broader challenges for Bitcoin miners and Trump-related crypto ventures. The World Liberty Financial (WLFI) token ended 2025 well below its peak levels.

The Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin has also dropped sharply — about 87% from its all-time high recorded in January 2025.

Meanwhile, major mining firms are adjusting their strategies. Marathon is expanding into artificial intelligence infrastructure, Bitdeer has fully liquidated its Bitcoin reserves, and Hut 8 reported significant losses while pivoting toward AI operations. Against this backdrop, American Bitcoin continues to focus on a “mine and hold” strategy.

Why it matters

American Bitcoin’s report highlights the risks of a Bitcoin accumulation strategy in a volatile market. Even with rising revenue, the company remains in the red due to declines in asset valuations.

The situation also reflects a broader industry trend: miners are seeking alternative revenue streams, including artificial intelligence, to reduce dependence on Bitcoin’s price. If BTC prices fail to recover, companies holding large reserves may face increasing pressure to maintain financial stability.
