Trump-Linked American Bitcoin Records Sharp Losses in Q4 2025

• American Bitcoin lost nearly $60 million in the final quarter of 2025.
• The Trump brothers-backed ABTC has accumulated over 6,000 BTC in less than one year.
• Bitcoin difficulty drops 11%, boosting American Bitcoin’s mining output.

According to reports, American Bitcoin (ABTC), the Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency company backed by Donald Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., posted significant losses in the final quarter of 2025. 

A Mixed Year for ABTC

The Bitcoin company launched on March 31, 2025, with Trump’s sons partnering with Hut 8, a Miami-based miner. Launching American Bitcoin highlighted a broader Trump family pivot into crypto, which spans Bitcoin mining, treasury accumulation strategies, and the launch of World Liberty Financial in September 2024.

Despite a notable profit accumulation in the initial months following its launch, however, fortunes flipped towards the end of the year, as the company posted a net loss of $59.45 million in Q4 2025.

American Bitcoin’s posted losses coincided with the crypto market crash in 2025, which has extended into Q1 2026. Amid an ongoing market-wide decline, Bitcoin has tumbled over 50%, dropping from an all-time high of over $126,000 in October 2025 to $67,529 as of writing, according to data from TradingView.

ABTC Expands Bitcoin Holdings

It is worth noting that at launch, Donald Trump Jr. noted that American Bitcoin forms part of his family’s venture into the cryptocurrency industry. According to him, simply buying Bitcoin is only half the story, as mining it on favorable economics opens an even bigger opportunity. Meanwhile, he considered listing on Nasdaq a historic milestone in bringing Bitcoin into the core of US capital markets.

Speaking about the company’s earnings, Eric Trump noted that they launched American Bitcoin with a clear mandate to accumulate the cryptocurrency at scale. According to him, the crypto firm held 5,401 BTC on its balance sheet at the end of 2025, growing it to over 6,000 BTC as of February 2026.

In a recent post on X, American Bitcoin emphasized its ongoing BTC accumulation strategy, highlighting that the network’s 11% difficulty drop translates to roughly one extra BTC mined per day. While others attempt to time the market, ABTC continues to dollar-cost average and leverages its ATMs to buy Bitcoin at spot, reinforcing the sustainability of its accumulation program.
