American Bitcoin Shares Plunge 95% From Peak, Erasing $600 Million in Eric Trump’s Stake Value
AI Market Summary
American Bitcoin's >95% equity drawdown, reverse split to preserve its Nasdaq listing, and a large Q1 operating loss driven by a sizable BTC impairment highlight the fragility of leveraged miner/holding-company balance sheets. While the firm continues accumulating BTC (holdings >8,000), the news reinforces dilution/volatility risks across publicly traded crypto equities, pressuring sector sentiment and potentially widening risk premia for miner and exchange-linked stocks.

According to a Bloomberg report, American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency mining firm co-founded by Eric Trump, has seen its share price collapse by more than 95% from its peak. This decline has effectively erased over $600 million from the valuation of Trump’s approximately 6% stake over the last 10 months. On Wednesday, the stock reached a record low, prompting the company to execute a 1-for-15 reverse stock split to preserve its Nasdaq listing. Despite the market downturn, American Bitcoin announced on Monday that it added 500 BTC to its balance sheet, bringing its total holdings to over 8,000 BTC. However, financial pressures remain evident, as the company reported a $118.2 million operating loss in the first quarter, largely driven by a $117.2 million Bitcoin impairment charge.
