American Bitcoin, a corporate treasury company backed by Eric Trump, has expanded its Bitcoin reserves by more than 1,000 BTC since December, bringing its total to approximately 5,044 Bitcoin (BTC), valued near $443 million. This increase places it ahead of ProCap Financial, founded by entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano, which now holds about 5,000 BTC and ranks 22nd among corporate holders, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET.
American Bitcoin went public earlier this year after a reverse merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, a Bitcoin mining firm. The rebranding from American Data Center and introduction by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump marked its debut in March. Meanwhile, ProCap Financial became public following a $750 million funding round in summer through a special-purpose acquisition company, aiming to offer investors Bitcoin and digital asset market exposure.
The broader trend shows publicly listed companies increasingly accumulating Bitcoin, with the top 100 corporate holders amassing over 1.08 million BTC. However, Bitcoin proxy stocks have faced notable price pressure. American Bitcoin’s shares dropped more than 50% in a single day recently, while shares of Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, have declined over 60% from their peak, reflecting market risk repricing.
Despite this volatility, purchasing activity continues. Strategy disclosed acquiring more than 10,000 BTC in one week, bringing its total to over 20,000 BTC in two weeks. The year 2025 has been described by Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan as Bitcoin’s “IPO moment,” signaling a period when early investors realize gains and new capital flows into digital assets, according to commentary in a recent podcast featuring Anthony Pompliano and Jordi Visser of 22V Research (source).
