Amid a volatile crypto market, American Bitcoin – a mining and treasury company backed by the Trump family – has captured investor attention after its stock surged nearly 10% in recent days. The company’s latest Bitcoin acquisition appears to have fueled this upward momentum.
Trump Family Expands Its “Bitcoin Treasury”
-
According to a recent press release, American Bitcoin has purchased an additional 1,414 BTC since September, bringing its total holdings to 3,865 BTC, worth nearly $4.5 million at current prices.
-
Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, wrote on X (Twitter):
“We’re just getting started! Extremely excited about what we’re building at $ABTC.” -
Eric also confirmed that the firm plans to continue accumulating Bitcoin, signaling a long-term commitment to digital assets.
The “Trump Bump” Lifts Stock Value
-
In just five days, American Bitcoin’s stock price has risen about 20%, before jumping another 10% following the BTC purchase announcement.
-
Analysts attribute this surge to the so-called “Trump Bump” – the powerful influence of the Trump name in financial markets.
-
Beyond BTC accumulation, the company’s Bitcoin mining operations have also contributed to its growing market value and competitive edge.
Challenges Ahead
Despite its impressive rise, American Bitcoin operates in a high-risk sector. The digital asset treasury (DAT) industry continues to face financial and regulatory pressures, casting uncertainty over its long-term outlook. Still, given the Trump family’s political and financial clout, many observers believe American Bitcoin will remain a key player to watch in the evolving crypto landscape.
