Despite a 12% decline in average Bitcoin prices and higher power expenses, the company maintained a gross margin near 50%, keeping its cost to mine a single Bitcoin stable at roughly $36,500.<\/p>\n<p>The company ended June holding 8,002 BTC valued at approximately $512 million, representing a 14% increase from the 7,021 BTC held at the end of March.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our view of the world is simple: Bitcoin is a growing capital asset, and we believe its long-term compounding will outperform our cost of capital,&#8221; CEO Mike Ho said in a statement. &#8220;Despite Bitcoin headwinds in Q2, we stayed focused on what we can control: we delivered our highest quarterly production on record, grew our strategic reserve to over 8,000 Bitcoin, and strengthened the foundation of our business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Eric Trump attributed the results to rapid operational growth since the company launched in September.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A little over a year ago, American Bitcoin was just an idea. Today, we hold more than 8,000 Bitcoin, operate one of the world&#8217;s largest Bitcoin mining platforms, and just delivered our highest quarterly production on record,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Our conviction in Bitcoin remains absolute, and our goal is simple: to deliver relentless growth, quarter after quarter, and build the preeminent American Bitcoin powerhouse for the long haul.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The financial report comes following a difficult period for the company&#8217;s publicly traded shares. In July, American Bitcoin executed a 1-for-15 reverse stock split to regain compliance with minimum bid price rules on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasdaq.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nasdaq<\/a> after its stock dropped about 94% from its post-debut high. The company had previously posted an $81.8 million net loss in the first quarter despite expanding its machine fleet to nearly 90,000 units.<\/p>\n<p>The quarterly update coincided with an executive departure. American Bitcoin President and interim CFO Matt Prusak announced Monday on X that he is stepping down to join energy and AI infrastructure developer Giga Energy as chief business officer and interim CFO.<\/p>\n<p>In a blog post explaining his move, Prusak noted that the primary limitation facing digital asset firms has shifted from mining hardware to power infrastructure required for data operations. &#8220;Giga has more opportunity than any company can pursue at once,&#8221; Prusak wrote. &#8220;Part of my role is to help identify the highest-leverage opportunities, shape where we focus, and build the machinery each priority requires.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-news-box\">\n<h3 class=\"related-news-title\">Read also:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_news_list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/08\/03\/bitmine-extends-ethereum-monopoly-push-with-19-5m-purchase-and-massive-stock-buyback\/\">Bitmine Extends Ethereum Monopoly Push With $19.5M Purchase and Massive Stock Buyback<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/08\/03\/coldcard-hardware-flaw-triggers-89m-bitcoin-theft-as-tether-posts-1-5b-q2-profit\/\">Coldcard Hardware Flaw Triggers $89M Bitcoin Theft as Tether Posts $1.5B Q2 Profit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nile1.com\/en\/2026\/08\/03\/strategy-disposes-of-104-7m-in-bitcoin-to-fund-dividends-and-share-repurchases\/\">Strategy Disposes of $104.7M in Bitcoin to Fund Dividends and Share Repurchases<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Bitcoin narrowed its second-quarter net loss to $57.2 million while expanding its reserve to 8,002 BTC, powered by a record quarterly production of 932 Bitcoin through June.
