Following its latest Bitcoin purchase, American Bitcoin now ranks as the 18th largest Bitcoin treasury company, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. The Trump-backed company highlighted that, in under five months since their Nasdaq debut, they have climbed from the 30th to the 18th among public Bitcoin treasury companies.
Eric Trump Reacts To Latest Feat
Eric Trump, who co-founded the company, also commented on this feat, stating that American Bitcoin has “sprinted past company after company” even as they lead the charge in building America’s Bitcoin infrastructure faster than anyone. He added that Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital is next as they look to climb up the rankings among BTC treasury companies.
It is worth noting that the Bitcoin miner currently ranks among companies such as Nakamoto Inc., Anthony Pompliano’s ProCap, and GameStop. However, as CoinGape reported, GameStop may no longer be classified as a Bitcoin treasury company, as the retailer recently transferred all its BTC holdings to Coinbase, hinting at a potential sell-off.
Meanwhile, the ABTC stock has underperformed despite American Bitcoin’s BTC accumulation since its Nasdaq debut. The stock is down over 71% in the last six months. Bitcoin’s decline over this period has also likely contributed to the underperformance.
