Revenue More Than Doubles Wall Street Forecasts

Analysts on Wall Street were expecting American Bitcoin to report revenue of around $80 million, according to Koyfin data. Instead, the company reported $185.2 million in revenue, a 22% increase quarter over quarter.

Investors seemed unfazed by the company's reported net loss of $153.2 million, even though estimates had called for a $44 million profit. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) came at a loss of $157.3 million, versus the expected $33 million. 

The company attributed the downtrend to the fall in Bitcoin (BTC). Management said the final number reflected a $227.1 million non-cash mark-to-market loss on Bitcoin resulting from the FASB-required fair-value accounting adjustment. If Bitcoin’s paper losses are removed, the net profit rises to $73.9 million. 

Bitcoin’s Slide Drives Paper Losses

American Bitcoin currently holds over 6,000 Bitcoin, valued at around $400 million. The company said it mined around 1,654 Bitcoin from the beginning of the second quarter (Q2) 2025 through year-end, including 783 Bitcoin mined in the fourth quarter (Q4). The rest were acquired through strategic investments.

Bitcoin’s price rose 4% in the last 24 hours, down to around $68,000 after crossing $69,000 on Wednesday night. Retail sentiment around the apex cryptocurrency improved to ‘bullish’ from ‘neutral’ over the past day, but chatter remained at ‘low’ levels.
