American Bitcoin Reports Second-Quarter Loss Amid Crypto Selloff
American Bitcoin, backed by two of former U.S. President Donald Trump's sons, reported a second-quarter net loss of $57.2 million as falling bitcoin prices and market volatility hurt its performance. The company increased its holdings to over 8,000 bitcoins during the quarter—a 14% rise from the previous period—and achieved record production with about 932 mined coins in Q2. However, a more than 11% drop in Bitcoin's price between April and June significantly impacted earnings. Despite the loss, American Bitcoin saw revenue surge to $67 million compared to $30.3 million in the same period last year. CEO Mike Ho stated that while bitcoin faced headwinds during Q2, the company remained focused on controllable factors such as mining operations.
