Trump-Backed American Bitcoin Suffers Q4 Losses Amid Crypto Market Decline

American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency company backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has reported significant losses in the final quarter of 2025. The company, which launched on March 31, 2025, with a mission to accumulate Bitcoin at scale, posted a net loss of $59.45 million in Q4 2025.

The decline in American Bitcoin's fortunes coincided with the broader crypto market crash that has extended into Q1 2026. Bitcoin itself has seen a significant drop in value, falling over 50% from its all-time high of over $126,000 in October 2025 to around $67,529 as of writing.

However, American Bitcoin's mining output has increased due to an 11% drop in Bitcoin difficulty, allowing the company to mine roughly one extra BTC per day. The company continues to pursue its accumulation strategy through dollar-cost averaging and leveraging its ATMs to buy Bitcoin at spot prices.
