1. Never believe anyone's price predictions.
2. Don't "diversify" into other cryptos; none of them are actually decentralized, everything except bitcoin is a shitcoin (yes, really), and it's all gambling. The point of bitcoin is not gambling, but to end modern day slavery (fiat currency).
3. When everyone you know is talking about bitcoin, you're at the top of a bull market. You'll likely be too exuberant to realize it though. It will be obvious in hindsight.
4. Don't "trade some altcoins on the side to get more bitcoin". You are not that smart, and the overwhelming probability is that you will get wrecked.
5. DCA into bitcoin. Ignore your emotions. Don't try to time the market. Just stack what you can every paycheck.
6. Don't be too excited about bitcoin; people will feel like you're scamming them even though you're just trying help.
7. Go to meetups & conferences. Don't be isolated. Bitcoiners are generally very awesome people.
8. When people ask you about how to buy bitcoin, send them to a BITCOIN-ONLY company. Example for why: My cousin bought bitcoin (on Coinbase) during the bull market, then sold it for shiba on the same platform and now she pretty much lost everything. Bitcoin-only companies are the safest option to keep newbies from doing newbie things.
9. Be on #bitcoin    twitter and nostr. Obviously if you're reading this, you're already here...but I didn't get on twitter until 2020 and can tell you that it's a lot less lonely hodling bitcoin when you see a bunch of other people on this platform experiencing the same things you are.
10. Be skeptical of influencers. Even me (I'm not a huge account, but still). Some are good, some are bad. Even if they have good intentions, their judgement can be clouded by bad incentives.
11. Stop trying to convince everyone you know that bitcoin will make everything better (even though it will). Instead, be a good resource for the people who eventually reach out to you about it. Be known as "the bitcoin guy" and let people come to you when they're ready. Have good content prepared for them to read/watch when they do.
That is all. It's been a great ride so far and I'm happy to know you guys.

Terra [LUNA] saw a 20.1% price drop that began on Monday and stopped in the early hours of Tuesday, at $0.127. Since then, the price has bounced between $0.127 and $0.135, and was at $0.13 at the time of writing.
In a recent report, AMBCrypto had written that LUNA offered a good buying opportunity due to its defense of the $0.15-$0.16 demand zone the previous week. However, the bullish expectations have been proven wrong since after the token’s latest downturn.
Which way will LUNA go next?

Source: LUNA/USDT on TradingView
The 3-day chart revealed a bullish structure for LUNA. The long-term trend has been bearish since May 2022. In between, there have been extended periods during which LUNA’s price action broke the market structure bullishly.
So far, it has been unable to keep any such breakout going for a significant period of time. Maybe, it will never recover to the $80 or $100-levels it was before the Terra crash. However, that doesn’t matter to traders, who can make profits from short-term trends.
The move past the $0.168 local high from mid-September meant that LUNA’s market structure was bullish. This could set up a rally towards some of the preceding swing highs. The OBV’s dramatic upward push, and the volume bars in December underlined increased trading volume behind the price surge.

Source: LUNA/USDT on TradingView
The 4-hour chart revealed that LUNA bulls were barely holding on to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.13. Additionally, the lower timeframe demand zone at $0.15-$0.18 was also ceded to the bears following Monday’s volatility.
Both these developments highlighted a hike in bearish pressure in the short term. The H4 structure was bearish as well.
Which path is LUNA less likely to take?
Given the structure on the 1-day and 3-day timeframes, holding on to a bullish bias makes sense. LUNA only needs to recover past key support levels, such as $0.155, to recover the gains it made a week ago.
At the same time, we should remember that Bitcoin’s [BTC] trend has been bearish too. A breakout past $94k is needed to give it a bullish tinge. Until this happens, the bullish LUNA scenario of a recovery towards $0.2 and $0.24 remains the less likely route.
Traders’ call to action- Is it time to turn bearish on LUNA?
In short, yes. Many times in recent months, LUNA has made a bullish structure break on the 1-day and 3-day timeframes, but was unable to hold on to them. The most recent bullish shift came on the back of much higher trading volume, which could persuade traders to expect a bullish recovery.
Traders looking to go short can wait a few more days to see whether the token can defend $0.13 and reclaim the $0.155 former support or not.
Final Thoughts
The previous bullish expectations for LUNA were invalidated when the token failed to defend the $0.155 short-term demand zone.Bitcoin’s prevailing weakness and the tendency for Terra token bulls to fail to establish an uptrend meant that more LUNA drawdown was likely.

The launch of the first XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has turned into one of the fastest-growing ETF stories in recent years, according to Sal Gilbertie, CEO of Teucrium Trading.
In an interview with Zach Rector, Gilbertie said bringing the first XRP-linked ETF to market felt especially meaningful because of his long background in commodities and derivatives. While he has followed Bitcoin for years, he said XRP is one of the few digital assets he understands deeply, making it a natural choice for an ETF product.
Being first mattered. Gilbertie said in the ETF world, early launches often dominate, especially when paired with a strong ticker name. In this case, “XXRP” clearly signaled double exposure to XRP, helping it stand out immediately.
$500 Million in Just 12 Weeks
The response exceeded expectations. Gilbertie revealed that the XRP ETF crossed $500 million in assets under management in just 12 weeks.
To put that into context, most ETFs aim to reach $25 million in assets, and only about 1% achieve that milestone within a year. Teucrium’s XRP ETF reached twenty times that level in just three months.
Gilbertie credited the XRP community for the rapid growth, describing it as one of the most passionate investor bases in crypto.
Why XRP ETFs May Be Just Getting Started
Despite recent price weakness in XRP, Gilbertie says the broader ETF story is only beginning. He said cumulative XRP ETF assets are currently around $1.2–$1.3 billion, which he sees as a small fraction of what is possible.
He expects demand to rise further once clearer U.S. crypto regulations arrive, especially with legislation focused on defining digital asset use cases.
In his view, XRP stands apart because it serves a real purpose in payments. While he described Bitcoin as “digital gold,” he said assets with clear utility, including XRP, Ethereum and Solana, are more likely to earn a permanent place in investor portfolios.
“This Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg”
Gilbertie says XRP ETFs could attract several billion dollars in their first full year, in line with forecasts from major financial institutions.
For now, he says the success of the first XRP ETF sends a clear message: when traditional finance meets a strong crypto use case, investor interest can move faster than expected.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu fell below key technical levels amid increased selling pressure, highlighting weakness in the meme coin segment.The decline in ether contributed to the selling pressure on meme coins, as traders often use ETH as a risk gauge for altcoins.Broader crypto markets remained stable, indicating that the weakness was specific to speculative assets rather than a market-wide trend.
Dogecoin and Shiba Inu slipped during U.S. hours as rising sell volume pushed both tokens below key technical levels, extending weakness across the meme coin segment while ether underperformed other majors.
News background
The move unfolded alongside continued softness in ether ETH$2,856.75, which traders often treat as a proxy for risk appetite across altcoins. As ETH lagged the broader market, higher-beta assets such as meme coins absorbed outsized selling pressure.Broader crypto benchmarks held relatively steady, underscoring that the weakness was concentrated in speculative segments rather than a market-wide capitulation.This divergence suggests capital rotation and de-risking rather than panic selling.
Technical analysis
Dogecoin broke below the $0.13 psychological level after rejection at $0.1331, confirming a sequence of lower highs and locking price into a descending channel.Former support near $0.1296 has flipped into resistance, reinforcing the bearish structure.Trading volume surged 53% to 479.7 million tokens, consistent with active distribution rather than low-liquidity drift.Failed attempts to reclaim broken levels increase the probability of continuation toward lower demand zones unless buyers step in decisively.Shiba Inu mirrored DOGE’s structure, slipping below short-term support and failing to reclaim overhead supply.The lack of relative strength versus DOGE suggests sector-wide pressure rather than isolated token weakness.
Price action summary
DOGE slipped from $0.1314 to $0.1312 over the past 24 hours, briefly dipping to $0.1298 before bouncing toward $0.1311 on short-lived volume spikes near 27 million tokens.The rebound lacked follow-through, leaving price capped below resistance.SHIB tracked DOGE lower through the session, stabilizing but failing to reclaim prior support.The synchronized move reinforced the view that meme coins are trading as a single risk bucket rather than on token-specific drivers.
What traders should know
Support for DOGE sits at $0.1290–$0.1280, with downside risk toward $0.1250 if selling resumes.Reclaiming and holding above $0.1325 would be required to neutralize the current bearish setup.SHIB’s near-term direction likely hinges on whether DOGE stabilizes and whether ether regains relative strength.As long as ETH remains under pressure, meme coins are likely to lag broader crypto performance and remain vulnerable to further downside.

Tether unveiled PearPass, a peer-to-peer password manager that eliminates the need for cloud storage and centralized servers, amid major breaches that have exposed billions of credentials.
The stablecoin giant announced that its free application synchronizes encrypted passwords directly between user devices via a peer-to-peer architecture, removing traditional cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities that have plagued competitors.
PearPass addresses escalating cybersecurity threats as cloud-based password managers face persistent attacks from sophisticated hackers targeting centralized databases.
The application stores credentials exclusively on user devices while enabling encrypted synchronization across platforms without intermediaries, giving users complete control over digital security through locally stored data.
Introducing🍐🔒 PearPass — the password manager that keeps your data on your devices.

No servers to hack. No cloud to leak.

Just pure local security.

Follow @Pears_p2p & Download the App https://t.co/gP9FIPn2dW pic.twitter.com/ObIuyfToMo— Tether (@Tether_to) December 17, 2025
Decentralized Architecture Removes Single Point of Failure
The password manager eliminates server dependencies through peer-to-peer synchronization, unlike traditional cloud-based competitors that store millions of credentials on centralized infrastructure.
PearPass employs end-to-end encryption powered by open-source cryptographic libraries, allowing users to recover their accounts using personal keys rather than relying on external systems that are vulnerable to breaches.
“Every major breach proves the same point: if your secrets live in the cloud, they’re not really yours,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
“PearPass removes the single point of failure. No servers, no intermediaries, no back doors. Recovery and synchronization across users’ devices happens peer-to-peer, with your keys, under your control, without gatekeepers.“
The application underwent independent security auditing by Secfault Security, a specialist in offensive security and cryptographic analysis, to ensure resilience against real-world threats.
PearPass includes built-in password generation and continues to function during outages or in high-threat environments, maintaining operability when centralized systems fail.
The fully open-source code allows community auditing, enabling developers to review security implementations independently.
Growing Demand for Privacy-First Communication Tools
PearPass represents Tether’s first fully open-source application developed on the Pears ecosystem, which builds decentralized solutions for sovereignty, efficiency, privacy, and security.
The launch follows growing adoption of peer-to-peer technologies as users seek alternatives to centralized platforms facing regulatory pressure and surveillance concerns.
Jack Dorsey’s Bitchat messaging app recorded over 360,00 downloads since launch, with 48,781 downloads in Nepal during September protests against government corruption and social media bans.
The Bluetooth Low Energy mesh network application operates without an internet connection, enabling encrypted communication between devices within 30 meters during network shutdowns.
Madagascar experienced similar adoption spikes during violent protests over utility shortages, with Google Trends showing searches spiking from zero to 100 in Antananarivo as demonstrators sought censorship-resistant communication.

The peer-to-peer app recorded over 21,000 downloads within 24 hours during civil unrest that prompted government curfews across the capital.
Elon Musk also announced XChat, a development for the X platform featuring Bitcoin-style encryption, promising cross-platform communication without phone number requirements.
“WhatsApp knows enough about what you’re texting to know what ads to show you,” Musk alleged during a recent podcast interview. “That’s a massive security vulnerability.”
The messaging service is expected to launch within months as part of Musk’s broader “everything app” ambitions.
Regulatory Scrutiny Intensifies Across Jurisdictions
Privacy-focused platforms face mounting regulatory pressure as governments demand access to encrypted communications for law enforcement purposes.
The European Union is advancing Chat Control regulations requiring messaging apps to scan content before encryption, with 15 countries currently supporting the controversial proposal despite privacy advocates warning of mass-surveillance implications.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov remains out on bail of €5 million following a French arrest under warrants related to the encrypted messaging platform.
The 40-year-old billionaire criticized charges as “legally and logically absurd” while avoiding infrastructure deployment in jurisdictions with aggressive surveillance demands.
Despite this tightening of regulations across Europe, Worldcoin also introduced World Chat in March, integrating encrypted messaging with World ID verification and distinguishing verified users with blue chat bubbles.

The feature enables crypto transfers within conversations while supporting over 100 Mini Apps that launched more than 250 million times in early 2025.
For this new privacy app, Tether emphasized that PearPass represents technology designed to withstand future centralization pressures from governments, corporations, and intermediaries seeking to control data.
The company plans additional ecosystem applications restoring internet control to individual users through decentralized infrastructure resilient against external seizure or compromise.

While the cryptocurrency market appears to be ending the year on a turbulent note, investors can look ahead to 2026 as several altcoins present attractive investment opportunities.
Rather than relying on broader market sentiment, select altcoins are likely to rally due to a combination of real-world utility, technological innovation, and expanding user adoption, positioning them to outperform more established assets.
Against this backdrop, Finbold has identified three compelling altcoins, driven by unique value propositions and catalysts that could support momentum in the year ahead.
Sui (SUI)
One project gaining attention for its potential to deliver outsized returns by 2026 is Sui ($SUI). This next-generation layer-one blockchain is designed to offer high throughput and low transaction costs, making it appealing to developers building decentralized applications across decentralized finance, gaming, and other sectors.
Its architecture aims to address scalability bottlenecks that have challenged earlier networks, and as adoption increases, it could unlock demand not yet fully reflected in current valuations. 
The combination of technical scalability and ecosystem growth supports the view that Sui could see strong appreciation if network activity continues to expand.
By press time, SUI was trading at $1.48, having plunged 60% year to date.

XRP
$XRP  is another asset frequently highlighted in forward-looking market analysis. Its role in cross-border payments and settlement infrastructure sets it apart from many other tokens, particularly as regulatory clarity improves in key jurisdictions.
Ongoing efforts to integrate Ripple’s technology into traditional financial systems, alongside growing institutional interest in efficient global payments, create conditions that could drive renewed price gains.
Investors watching XRP into 2026 are closely focused on developments such as spot exchange-traded (ETFs) products and progress on legal clarity, both of which could significantly broaden participation. 
Notably, XRP’s spot ETF has been among the strongest performers in 2025, recording consistent inflows.
Despite this, much of XRP’s 2025 gains have been erased by the recent downturn, with the asset trading at $1.91 as of press time, down 8% year to date.

Toncoin (TON)
A third contender for significant growth in 2026 is Toncoin ($TON ). This altcoin benefits from deep integration with the Telegram messaging platform, giving its blockchain a meaningful advantage in terms of potential user reach.
Efforts to expand utility through decentralized applications, alongside upcoming features such as decentralized VPN services and distributed storage, aim to push the network beyond social and gaming use cases toward more substantive infrastructure functions.
At the time of reporting, TON was valued at $1.52, down roughly 70% year to date.

These planned expansions reflect a roadmap focused on increasing utility and attracting a broader user base, which could support renewed market interest and price performance.
While outcomes are never guaranteed in the inherently volatile crypto market, the trends supporting these three digital assets suggest they may offer investors an opportunity to maximize returns heading into 2026.

Elon Musk just crossed another milestone that once sounded impossible. 
On Monday, Forbes said Musk became the first person in history to reach a $600 billion net worth, powered largely by a surge in expectations around SpaceX’s future and renewed optimism around his broader tech empire.
The timing matters. Reports suggest SpaceX is preparing for a public listing next year at a valuation of around $800 billion, a move that would dramatically reshape global capital markets — and further cement Musk’s position as the wealthiest individual the modern economy has ever produced.
But as Musk’s fortune rockets higher, a familiar question resurfaces in crypto circles: how much cryptocurrency does Elon Musk actually own?
The answer is more nuanced than most headlines suggest.
SpaceX, Tesla, and Musk’s Wealth Surge
Musk’s wealth jump is being driven first and foremost by SpaceX, where he owns an estimated 42% stake. At an $800 billion valuation, that holding alone would be worth roughly $336 billion, adding about $168 billion to his personal net worth and pushing Forbes’ estimate to roughly $677 billion as of midday Tuesday.

That’s before factoring in Tesla.
He owns roughly 12% of Tesla, whose shares are up about 13% year-to-date, despite uneven electric vehicle sales. 
Tesla stock climbed nearly 4% on Monday after Musk revealed that the company is testing robotaxis without a safety monitor in the front passenger seat, reinforcing his pitch that Tesla is evolving into an AI and robotics company rather than just an automaker.
In November, Tesla shareholders also approved a $1 trillion compensation package for Musk — the largest corporate pay plan ever — signaling investor confidence in his long-term vision.
Add in xAI, his artificial intelligence startup, which is reportedly in talks to raise $15 billion at a $230 billion valuation, and the scale of his empire becomes hard to overstate.
Still, crypto plays a surprisingly small — but symbolically powerful — role in Musk’s financial story.
What Crypto Does Elon Musk Personally Own?
Elon Musk has publicly confirmed that he personally owns cryptocurrency, but he has never disclosed exact amounts.
What we do know is this: Musk has acknowledged holding Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE). These admissions came through interviews and social media posts over several years. However, he has consistently avoided sharing wallet addresses, balances, or precise figures.
Back in 2018, Musk once joked that he owned just 0.25 BTC, sent to him by a friend. Since then, he has hinted that his Bitcoin exposure is larger, but there is no verifiable data confirming how much he holds today.
In short, while Musk is undeniably crypto-friendly — especially toward Dogecoin — his personal crypto holdings remain private and unverified.
Tesla’s Bitcoin Holdings: Over $1 Billion on the Balance Sheet
Where Musk’s crypto exposure becomes clearer at the corporate level.
Tesla famously added Bitcoin to its balance sheet in 2021, and despite trimming its holdings over time, the company still holds around 11,509 BTC, according to public disclosures and treasury trackers. At current prices, that stash is worth more than $1 billion.

Tesla’s BTC holdings (Source: Bitcoin Treasuries)
It’s important to be precise here: this Bitcoin belongs to Tesla, not Musk personally. Still, as CEO and the company’s most influential figure, Musk was instrumental in shaping Tesla’s crypto strategy and legitimizing Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset.
Tesla’s move helped spark a broader trend of companies treating Bitcoin as a long-term store of value rather than a speculative trade.
SpaceX’s Bitcoin Holdings Fly Under the Radar
Less talked about — but equally significant — are SpaceX’s Bitcoin holdings.
On-chain analysis and reporting suggest SpaceX owns approximately 8,285 BTC, a position that has also crossed the $1 billion mark during strong market cycles. 

SpaceX’s Bitcoin holdings (Source: Bitcoin Treasuries)
Like Tesla’s holdings, this Bitcoin sits on the company’s balance sheet, not in Musk’s personal wallets.
Still, the implication is clear: two of Musk’s most important companies are long-term Bitcoin holders, reinforcing his belief in crypto as part of the future financial system.
What Musk Does Not Own
Despite endless speculation, Musk has repeatedly clarified that he does not personally own meme coins created using his name or likeness, such as Elon-themed tokens or projects like FLOKI. While his tweets have historically moved markets, he has distanced himself from unofficial meme coins that leverage his brand.
The Bigger Picture
For someone worth more than $600 billion, Elon Musk’s personal crypto holdings are almost certainly a rounding error in financial terms. Yet his influence on the crypto market far outweighs the size of his wallet.

By backing Bitcoin through Tesla and SpaceX — and openly supporting Dogecoin — Musk has helped push digital assets into mainstream corporate and cultural conversations.
As his wealth reaches unprecedented levels, one thing is clear: Musk doesn’t need crypto to be rich — but crypto has undeniably benefited from Musk.

Pi Network has rolled out important updates, and its ecosystem continues to evolve, but the native token of the project remains in red territory.
In the following lines, we will touch upon everything most interesting surrounding these topics.
The Recent Development
Pi Network’s Core Team took center stage at the end of August when it launched the Pi Hackathon 2025: an event with a 160,000-coin prize pool for the top eight participants. The initiative’s ultimate goal was to encourage Pioneers to create real-world applications that expand the utility of the PI token, and it was supposed to end in mid-October.
The team remained silent for a while and finally announced the event’s conclusion and winners last week. First place and a reward of 75,000 coins went to Blind_Lounge, whereas Starmax finished second and took home 45,000 tokens.
In the following days, Pi Network shared more information about the winners. It described Blind_Lounge as “a privacy-first social and dating platform where people connect anonymously and reveal identities only by mutual choice.”
Several hours ago, it touched upon Starmax, too, classifying it as “a loyalty program app that enables businesses to offer loyalty programs using Pi.”
“Pioneers can spend Pi at participating stores and earn rewards, while businesses can design their own loyalty programs directly within the app to engage with and expand their customer base. Since Starmax’s loyalty system fits naturally into existing store operations, the app has strong potential for real-world adoption, as a potential tool for tens of thousands of merchants integrated with Pi,” it added.
What’s Next on the List?
Many Pi Network users have been struggling with KYC procedures, and the team has tried to come up with a solution for these issues. Not long ago, it integrated additional AI tools, making it easier and faster for Pioneers to complete the verification process.
This weekend, Pi News (an X account that tracks the developments related to Pi Network) said that millions of users have already completed the necessary KYC procedures, claiming that the attention is now on “the explosive growth of utility applications.”
“The real shining moment for Pi will come when a massive number of real-world use cases (DApps, goods, services) emerge,” the post reads.
PI Price Outlook
Despite the news and advancements related to Pi Network, PI’s valuation keeps heading south. As of this writing, it is worth around $0.19, representing a 4% daily decline and a whopping 93% drop from the historical peak of $3 witnessed earlier this year.
X user Web3_Vibes argued that PI is “approaching the local bottom,” predicting that a pump will depend heavily on a potential bounce off the $0.192 support level.
Meanwhile, the upcoming token unlocks are also worth observing. Data shows that 172.5 million coins will be freed up over the next 30 days, giving investors the chance to offload assets they have been waiting for a long time. This could translate into additional supply hitting the market and weighing on the price.

One of the largest payments network in the world is launching USDC settlement after a two-year pilot program.
Payments giant Visa Inc. launched USDC settlement today in the United States, allowing U.S. issuer and acquirer partners to settle transactions via Circle’s stablecoin using Visa’s payments rails.
The move begins with two initial banking participants, Cross River Bank and Lead Bank, using USDC on the Solana blockchain, with partner expansion expected in 2026. Visa initially launched the pilot program for Solana-based USDC settlement in September 2023.
Visa stablecoin settlement is expected to also launch on the upcoming Arc Layer 1 blockchain, which is the stablecoin-focused chain developed by Circle, in collaboration with Visa as a design partner.
Through USDC integration, banks and fintechs can be expected to offer settlement seven days a week as opposed to the traditional business day model. This comes just one day after it was announced that the Nasdaq is set to file to extend its trading hours to 23 hours a day, as traditional finance and banking continues to expand its flexibility, following in the footsteps of on-chain markets.
Rubail Birwadker, the global head of growth products and strategic partnerships at Visa, was quoted in the company’s press release saying, “Visa is expanding stablecoin settlement because our banking partners are not only asking about it - they’re preparing to use it.” Birwadker concluded:
“Financial institutions are looking for faster, programmable settlement options that integrate seamlessly with their existing treasury operations. By bringing USDC settlement to the U.S., Visa is delivering a reliable, bank‑ready capability that improves treasury efficiency while maintaining the security, compliance and resiliency standards our network requires.”
USDC is the second-largest stablecoin in the world with a $78 billion market capitalization, accounting for just over 25% of the total circulating stablecoin supply.
The stablecoin’s issuer, Circle, launched its publicly traded stock in June. The stock IPO’d at roughly $30 per share, and immediately went on a blistering run to $300. However, the initial frenzy has subsided, and CRCL now trades at just $82 per share, with share prices rallying over 8% today on the Visa news.

Trump family-backed Bitcoin miner American Bitcoin Corp has expanded its Bitcoin treasury again, entering the top 20 corporate holders after acquiring additional BTC and pushing its total reserves to 5,0988 mark.
According to company disclosures and data from BTC Treasuries, American Bitcoin Corp added another 54 BTC, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 5,098 BTC. The latest purchase follows a larger accumulation earlier this year, when the company acquired 261 BTC worth approximately $23.5 million at the time, lifting its holdings to 5,044 BTC before the most recent addition.

American Bitcoin, which trades under the ticker ABTC, has accumulated its Bitcoin treasury since going public on September 3, 2025. Since its Nasdaq debut, the Bitcoin miner has steadily increased its exposure to Bitcoin through a combination of mining output retention and direct purchases, positioning itself among the largest publicly listed corporate BTC holders.

The move places American Bitcoin alongside a growing group of public companies that are using Bitcoin as a core treasury component.
Bitcoin mining
American Bitcoin’s rapid accumulation since its public listing highlights how newly listed miners are adopting treasury-first strategies from inception, rather than transitioning to them later. While legacy miners historically sold a significant portion of their Bitcoin to fund operations, newer entrants appear more willing to retain supply as part of their long-term capital strategy.
As corporate Bitcoin adoption continues to expand, American Bitcoin’s entrance into the top 20 Bitcoin treasuries reveals the accelerating role of miners in shaping institutional ownership dynamics. With more than 5,000 BTC now on its balance sheet, the company is positioned as a notable participant in the corporate Bitcoin landscape heading into 2026.
