American Bitcoin Nabs 1,414 BTC, SPS Jumps to 418 for Shareholders as Mt. Gox Payout Delay Removes Near-Term Supply Pressure

American Bitcoin Corp, a firm notably linked to the Trump family, executed another significant Bitcoin acquisition, announcing the purchase of 1,414 additional BTC.

This latest buy brings its total corporate treasury holdings to 3,865 BTC. The aggressive accumulation drew immediate attention, amplified by Eric Trump’s social media post declaring the company is “just getting warmed up,” indicating a clear strategy to establish American Bitcoin Corp as a major player in corporate Bitcoin holdings.

This purchase substantially increases the company’s direct Bitcoin exposure. It reflects a deliberate approach of continuous accumulation, distinguishing American Bitcoin Corp within the growing field of corporations adding BTC to their balance sheets.

Unique to American Bitcoin Corp is its “Satoshis Per Share” (SPS) , designed to directly track the amount of Bitcoin backing each share of the company. Following the latest purchase and ongoing operations, the company reported its SPS climbed to 418, marking a 52% increase since September 1st.

This metric vividly illustrates how the company aims to translate its Bitcoin accumulation directly into shareholder value, tethering its performance explicitly to Bitcoin’s price appreciation.

Unlike firms that buy Bitcoin solely from the open market, American Bitcoin Corp employs a hybrid model, distinct from pure buyers like MicroStrategy. It integrates its own mining operations to generate BTC internally alongside strategic open-market purchases.

Executive Chairman Asher Genoot argues this approach offers a structural advantage, potentially lowering average acquisition costs and enhancing long-term profitability compared to relying solely on market buys.

American Bitcoin’s accumulation occurs against a more favorable near-term supply backdrop for Bitcoin. A major source of potential selling pressure which was the long-anticipated distribution of funds to Mt. Gox creditors have been delayed significantly. The trustee overseeing the defunct exchange that payouts will now commence no earlier than October 31, 2026.

This lengthy delay effectively defers a substantial potential supply event, removing what had been a persistent source of near-term market uncertainty. The prospect of tens of thousands of Bitcoin hitting the market simultaneously has worried traders for years. Pushing this event back provides significant breathing room and reduces the perceived risk of an imminent supply shock, potentially contributing to current price stability.
