American Bitcoin Posts $81.8 Million Q1 Loss as Record Output Lifts Reserves

A price-driven write-down under U.S. accounting rules obscures cash-positive mining.

Overview

  • American Bitcoin, which reported results Wednesday, posted a $81.8 million first-quarter loss even as it narrowed the year-over-year deficit from $100.6 million.
  • Revenue reached $62.1 million, while a $117.2 million impairment tied to a roughly 22% drop in Bitcoin’s price drove the headline loss.
  • The miner produced a record 817 Bitcoin and bought 803 more, lifting holdings to about 7,021 coins at March 31.
  • Per-coin mining cost fell to roughly $36,200, keeping mining gross margin near 52% despite weaker Bitcoin prices.
  • Management said it sold no Bitcoin during the quarter and plans to keep growing reserves through low-cost mining and treasury purchases.
