In a notable development within the cryptocurrency landscape, American Bitcoin Corp, a mining and treasury firm supported by the Trump family, has officially surpassed the 6,000 Bitcoin (BTC) mark in its reserves. This achievement positions the company among the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin globally, having reached this milestone in less than six months following its public trading debut on Nasdaq.
The announcement was made by Eric Trump, co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin, on February 17, 2026, via his X account. He characterized this achievement as an “incredible milestone,” highlighting the firm”s rapid growth since its entry into the market.
As per blockchain data provided by Arkham Intelligence, American Bitcoin now holds a total of 6,072 BTC, placing it firmly within the top 20 publicly traded companies with significant Bitcoin treasury holdings worldwide.
Rapid Growth Through Strategic Accumulation
The firm has demonstrated a remarkable growth trajectory, notably accumulating approximately 217 BTC in January 2026 alone. This strategy blends both mining output and direct purchases of Bitcoin, which American Bitcoin refers to as a “mining to treasury” model. This approach aims to outperform conventional mining operations that typically liquidate mined Bitcoin to cover operational expenses.
Industry analysts report that American Bitcoin”s partnership with Hut 8 Corp, which holds an 80% stake in the venture, currently generates between 8 and 10 BTC daily from a mining facility of substantial size. Eric Trump recently visited this facility, reiterating the company”s commitment to establishing a “strategic Bitcoin reserve” by retaining mined Bitcoin rather than selling it.
Additionally, American Bitcoin has reported a Bitcoin yield of approximately 116% from the time of its Nasdaq debut in September 2025 until late January 2026. This yield reflects the growth in their Bitcoin holdings from mined and purchased coins, separate from any capital raising activities. Thus, this growth clearly indicates actual accumulation rather than dilution through equity financing.
Broader Trends in Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation
The achievement by American Bitcoin is part of a larger trend among corporations focusing on Bitcoin as a treasury asset. For instance, Hyperscale Data, based in Las Vegas, recently announced that its Bitcoin treasury had reached 600.5299 BTC, valued at approximately $41.3 million. The Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, Milton “Todd” Ault III, noted that this milestone underscores their commitment to a robust Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Interestingly, Hyperscale Data”s cash and Bitcoin holdings amount to approximately $87.6 million, which is 135.82% of the company”s market capitalization as of February 13th. This anomaly indicates that the market has not fully recognized the strength of the company”s balance sheet.
Another noteworthy mention is DDC Enterprise, a global Asian food platform, which announced the acquisition of an additional 80 BTC, raising its corporate treasury to 2,068 BTC. This acquisition marks the sixth consecutive week of Bitcoin buying for DDC, reflecting a disciplined and strategic approach to treasury management.
The current trend of corporate Bitcoin accumulation highlights a maturation within the market, as public companies increasingly regard Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset rather than merely a speculative investment. As Bitcoin stabilizes above $70,000, the accelerated pace of accumulation by firms like American Bitcoin, Hyperscale Data, and DDC Enterprise signifies a significant shift in how companies are approaching Bitcoin and its role in financial strategy.
