Trump Family’s American Bitcoin Acquires 139 BTC Valued at $13.9 Million
The Trump-affiliated mining and treasury firm boosted its Bitcoin reserves through recent purchases and mining activity, positioning it among the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.
American Bitcoin, co-founded by Eric Trump, has grown its Bitcoin holdings to 4,000 BTC valued at about $415 million after acquiring nearly 170 BTC between late October and early November 2025. The company combines mining operations with market purchases to expand its reserves, placing it around 25th among corporate Bitcoin holders. Trump Media and Technology Group holds over 11,500 BTC worth more than $1.3 billion. Reports indicate Trump family ventures have amassed around $1 billion in pre-tax crypto gains from projects including TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins and the WLFI token, with backing from investors like Justin Sun and Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund. The broader mining sector faces tighter margins following the 2024 Bitcoin halving, prompting some miners to explore AI compute services. Bitcoin was trading at $102,175 at press time.
