American Bitcoin Carries Out 1-for-15 Reverse Split as Treasury Tops 8,000 BTC

The corporate action preserves ABTC’s Nasdaq listing but leaves the company exposed to bitcoin price swings and collateral-driven financing risks.

Overview

  • ABTC implemented a 1-for-15 reverse stock split that became effective July 2 and began trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 6 to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement.
  • Shares have plunged about 91% since the SPAC debut and traded with heavy volatility after the split, opening below expected adjusted levels and remaining under pressure.
  • The company added 500 BTC in early July to push its reported treasury past 8,000 BTC, up from roughly 5,401 BTC at the end of 2025 as part of a combined mining-and-purchase accumulation strategy.
  • ABTC reported Q1 2026 results showing $62.1 million in revenue, an $81.8 million net loss, 817 BTC mined in the quarter, and a reduced cost to mine of about $36,200 per bitcoin.
  • The firm has used financed miner purchases that reportedly involve Bitmain and the pledging of bitcoin as collateral, a structure that raises leverage risk and could trigger margin or collateral pressure if bitcoin prices fall.
