American Bitcoin, a miner backed by members of the Trump family, has increased its bitcoin reserves to roughly 5,843 BTC, placing it among the world's largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency. The company said it achieved a bitcoin yield of about 116% from its Nasdaq debut on Sept. 3, 2025, through Jan. 25, 2026. Bitcoin yield measures growth in a firm's bitcoin holdings over time, including coins mined or purchased, without accounting for capital raises.
Bitcoin's price climbed above $106,000 on Monday as Strategy, the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, announced its latest acquisition of 487 BTC for approximately $49.9 million. According to an SEC filing, the purchases were made between November 3 and November 9 at an average price of $102,557 per Bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses. The business intelligence firm's total Bitcoin holdings have now reached 641,692 BTC, acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $47.54 billion at an average price of $74,079 per Bitcoin.
Bitcoin treasury companies have become one of the most important demand drivers in this cycle. Collectively, 86 publicly traded firms now hold more than 1 million BTC on their balance sheets. What began with MSTR (Strategy) in 2020 has since spread across the corporate landscape, with new entrants joining seemingly every week. But a closer look at their purchase history reveals a surprising insight that many of these companies could be holding considerably more Bitcoin today if they had followed a simple, rules-based strategy for accumulation.
