Compared to Q1 2026, Eric Trump’s American Bitcoin Corp. reported a strong Q1 2026. Despite lower Bitcoin [BTC] prices throughout the quarter, this hike was fueled by expansion in both its mining and treasury operations.

According to a press release, in just three months, the company’s strategic reserve of Bitcoin increased by 981 BTC or 14%, from roughly 7,021 BTC on 31st March to 8,002 BTC on 30th June 2026. 

Simultaneously, the company’s outstanding shares only increased by about 3%, which allowed it to increase its Satoshis per share. The latter is a measure of the amount of Bitcoin backing each share, from 9,943 sats to 10,989 sats.

Simply put, even though there was only a slight share dilution, shareholders ended the quarter with a greater exposure to Bitcoin per share.

The journey from Q1 2026 to Q2 2026

As expected, Eric Trump expressed gratitude for this expansion and said, 

A little over a year ago, American Bitcoin was just an idea.

Although revenue per Bitcoin mined dropped by 5% to $71,900 due to a 12% drop in the price of Bitcoin, the increase helped boost mining revenue to $67 million. This hinted at an 8% increase from $62.1 million.

In fact, despite the weaker market, the business kept a gross margin of almost 50%. 

Remarking on the same, Mike Ho, CEO of American Bitcoin, said,

Despite Bitcoin headwinds in Q2, American Bitcoin said it remained focused on execution, delivering a record 932 BTC mined while growing its strategic reserve to more than 8,000 BTC.”

However, due to rising energy prices, its mining costs have remained almost constant at $36,500 per Bitcoin, up marginally from $36,200. Additionally, the company added 3.05 EH/s of capacity to Hut 8’s Drumheller site by energizing 11,298 next-generation ASIC miners.

By the end of the quarter, it had 89,242 miners with a total capacity of 28.1 EH/s. Of the same, 58,999 miners were in operation while producing 25 EH/s at an average efficiency of 14.1 J/TH. 

Not everything is as sunny as it seems

And yet, despite everything, American Bitcoin’s stock was down 7.38% in the last 24 hours alone. In fact, it has fallen by over 80% this year. 

According to a recent Bloomberg report, Eric Trump’s American Bitcoin Corp. has lost about $600 million in value thanks to the company’s recent market performance. 

Final Summary

  • America Bitcoin’s Bitcoin holdings increased by 981 BTC from roughly 7,021 BTC to 8,002 BTC by the end of Q2 2026.
  • And yet, its stock price has fallen by over 80% this year so far.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
