Trump-backed Bitcoin mining and accumulation firm has increased its crypto holdings as on-chain factors looked stronger for the first time in ten days. The move alongside rising institutional sentiment boosted American Bitcoin’s stock price. This year, Bitcoin and altcoin treasury firms continue to show a strong appetite for more assets amid growing competition.
In a recent announcement, the company disclosed its latest Bitcoin acquisition, raising total holdings to 3,865 assets worth approximately $446 million. The 1,414 BTC ($163 million) was a major driver for bulls in the last 24 hours, with the firm describing it as strategic purchases and mining rewards.
American Bitcoin is backed by President Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Jr, two top pro-crypto voices in the last 12 months. Per the announcement, the company’s Satoshi’s Per Share (SPS) is at 418, a 52% surge since Sept 1. Going further, the firm pledged to disclose shareholder values as well as SPS to give insight into the company’s direction.
Recent acquisitions follow previous commitments in its expansion roadmap. At inception, the firm held 500 BTC, adding 1,726 BTC through July and August. At the time, those purchases were worth about $205 million. American Bitcoin was formed when Eric and Donald Trump Jr merged their separate entity with the Canadian mining firm, Hut 8.
The company plans to scale holdings through cost-effective strategies tied to mining. It aims to reduce the cost per over the market and attract key investors in the long run. For Eric Trump, the most important factor of a stablecoin firm is the amount of BTC backing each share, which is reflected in the firm’s transparent periodic updates.
“What sets American Bitcoin apart from most traditional Bitcoin treasury vehicles is our integrated mining operations,” said Asher Genoot, American Bitcoin’s executive chairman. “By producing Bitcoin directly, we can reduce our average cost per Bitcoin to drive a cost advantage over vehicles that buy exclusively on the open market. That structural advantage allows us to compound Bitcoin value per share more efficiently for our investors.”
Crypto bulls have been the biggest beneficiaries of the digital asset acquisition firms in the past months. These inflows surged the Bitcoin price to an all-time high above $126k before a correction to present levels. American Bitcoin stock remains 5% after soaring over 11% following the announcement.
