American Bitcoin Corp raised $215M to fund crypto accumulation.
The firm now holds 215 BTC (~$23 M) as a core asset.
ABTC plans to go public via merger with Gryphon Digital.
American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), the crypto mining venture led by Eric Trump and backed by Hut 8 and Donald Trump Jr., has raised $215 million to expand its Bitcoin reserves. The company revealed this in a recent announcement, positioning itself as a major player in the institutional Bitcoin market.
215 BTC on the books as strategic asset
Since its launch on April 1, 2025, ABTC has accumulated 215 BTC, now valued at approximately $23 million. According to company filings with the SEC, these Bitcoin holdings are not just reserves but considered a “core strategic asset.” This reveals the company’s intention to not only mine Bitcoin but actively build a treasury similar to MicroStrategy’s model.
Strategic growth and public listing plans
ABTC runs more than 60,000 mining rigs in facilities managed by Hut 8 across New York, Alberta, and Texas, delivering a combined hashrate above 10 EH/s. The company is pursuing a three-pronged strategy:
Efficient mining with institutional support
Expanding Bitcoin reserves through capital raises
Promoting Bitcoin infrastructure and adoption
In addition, ABTC plans to go public through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, aiming to list under the ticker symbol ABTC by the third quarter of 2025. Eric Trump is expected to join the board after the merger.
