American Bitcoin expands Bitcoin holdings by 981 BTC despite share dilution
American Bitcoin Corp. grew its strategic reserve by 14% in the second quarter, though rising mining costs and a stock price decline temper gains.
American Bitcoin Corp. reported expanding its strategic Bitcoin reserve by 981 BTC, or 14%, over the second quarter of 2026, bringing holdings to 8,002 BTC from 7,021 BTC at quarter-start. The company's outstanding shares increased by only 3%, allowing Bitcoin backing per share to rise from 9,943 to 10,989 satoshis. Management attributed the growth to expansion in both mining and treasury operations.
Mining operations delivered a record 932 BTC during the quarter and generated $67 million in revenue, up 8% from the prior quarter, even as revenue per Bitcoin mined fell 5% to $71,900 due to a 12% decline in Bitcoin's price. The company maintained a gross margin of nearly 50%.
Mining costs remained nearly flat at $36,500 per Bitcoin, up slightly from $36,200, as energy prices rose. American Bitcoin added 3.05 EH/s of capacity during the period by deploying 11,298 next-generation ASIC miners, bringing total miner count to 89,242 with 28.1 EH/s capacity, of which 58,999 miners were operational producing 25 EH/s at an average efficiency of 14.1 J/TH.
Yet despite these operational gains, the company's stock fell 7.38% in the prior day and has declined over 80% year-to-date, with the firm losing roughly $600 million in market value according to a Bloomberg report.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
