American Bitcoin boosts BTC holdings to 5,098 as buying spree accelerates

Source Cryptopolitan

Eric Trump-backed American Bitcoin has added to its BTC reserve, bringing its total BTC holdings to 5,098 BTC and yield to 96.5% since its debut in September. The company has purchased approximately 1,138 BTC since November 1 through December 14, representing a 172.25% increase compared to its BTC purchases in October.

The miner-turned-BTC treasury has been on a continuous BTC buying spree, acquiring an additional 416 BTC worth roughly $38.3 million as of December 2. It had bought 363 BTC the previous week, cementing it within the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin treasuries. The company previously flipped Anthony Pompliano’s ProCap Financial to settle at the 21st position before jumping to the top 20, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.

American Bitcoin’s Satoshi per share also grew more than 24% MoM to 533. The metric shows traders how much BTC is attributable to each outstanding share of common stock. According to the firm, it offers them a clearer picture of indirect BTC ownership through equity.

Trump commends firm’s growth amid stock decline

American Bitcoin’s co-founder and CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) Eric Trump stated on November 15 that the company had experienced tremendous growth despite declining stock prices.

He claimed that the firm has surged past dozens of companies in just over three months since its initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq. The company previously stated that it will continue to provide updates on its BTC holdings, SPS metrics, BTC yield, and other performance-related metrics on its website and social media platforms.

However, ABTC previously closed at $1.78 before opening at $1.77 today and later dropping 7.3% to $1.65 as of publication. The stock has an intra-day high of $1.79, an intra-day low of $1.64, and a 24-hour trading volume of $12.58 million.

Meanwhile, Eric Trump has previously emphasized that crypto is the future and that the U.S. must lead the way, as American Bitcoin sets the standards. The company aspires to become a category leader in the Bitcoin ecosystem as it increases its role in building America’s Bitcoin infrastructure backbone.

The BTC treasury also seeks to build America’s Bitcoin infrastructure by vertically integrating historically segmented aspects of the BTC value chain. It plans to access strategic capital for growth by utilizing public markets and funding options to accelerate BTC accumulation beyond its mining output.

Aftahi grants buy rating to American Bitcoin

Roth Capital’s analyst, Darren Aftahi, reportedly believes American Bitcoin has an advantage over other crypto companies and has granted it a buy rating. Aftahi has remained bullish on the sinking crypto stock despite a drop of over 70% in share prices since the company’s debut on Nasdaq in November and increasing pressure to stop the decline. The company’s stock plunged 39% on December 2 when major shareholders rushed to offload their long-held shares after the lock-up period.

Meanwhile, the analyst finds American Bitcoin’s business model sound enough, and Roth Capital has set the stock price target to $4. The target is more than double its current price of $1.65. It also represents more than double the stock’s current level, which implies an upside of about 140% if Aftahi’s projections play out.

The company has also announced its intention to create lasting value across all aspects of the Bitcoin ecosystem. However, a BOFA survey that polled 211 managers overseeing $504 billion in assets suggested that crypto allocations remain more symbolic than strategic. Nearly 97% of institutional fund managers have zero exposure to crypto in their portfolios.

Roth Capital has previously offered investment banking services to Hut 8 and American Bitcoin, and it has also worked with other Trump-linked ventures in different capacities. On the other hand, Hut 8 provides American Bitcoin with access to data centers, power, and mining proficiency.

Bitcoin Slides 5% as Sellers Lean In — Can BTC Reclaim $88,000?Bitcoin has dropped back below $88,000 after rolling over from $90,500, with price still trading under the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. The sell-off found a floor at $85,151, and BTC is now consolidating near that base, but rebounds are facing pressure from a bearish trend line around $89,000. Bulls need to retake $88,000–$89,000 to ease downside risk; failure to do so keeps $85,500–$85,000 and then $83,500 in play, with $80,000 as the deeper “line in the sand.” Bitcoin (BTC) is back in damage-control mode after a sharp pullback wiped out recent gains. The price failed to reclaim the $90,000–$90,500 band, rolled over, and slid through $88,500 before briefly dipping under $87,000. Buyers did show up around $85,000, but the rebound so far looks more like stabilization than a clear trend reversal. Bitcoin dips hard, finds a bid near $85,000（h3） BTC’s latest move lower began when it couldn’t build follow-through above $90,000 and $90,500. Once that upside stalled, sellers took control and pushed price down through $88,500. The slide accelerated enough to spike below $87,000, but the market didn’t free-fall. Bulls defended the $85,000 zone, printing a low at $85,151. Since then, Bitcoin has been consolidating below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from the $93,560 swing high to the $85,151 low — a clue that the bounce is still shallow and that sellers haven’t fully backed off yet. Structurally, BTC is still on the back foot: It’s trading below $88,000, and It remains below the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, keeping short-term trend pressure pointed downward. Resistance is layered, and $89,000 is the problem area（h3） If bulls try to turn this into a recovery, they’ll have to climb through multiple ceilings in quick succession. First, BTC faces resistance around $87,150, followed by a more meaningful barrier near $87,500. From there, the market’s attention snaps back to $88,000 — the level BTC just lost and now needs to reclaim. A close back above $88,000 would improve the tone, but it doesn’t solve the bigger issue: there’s a bearish trend line on the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken feed) with resistance near $89,000, which also lines up with the next technical hurdle. If BTC can push through $89,000 and hold, the rebound could extend toward $90,000, with follow-through targets at $91,000 and $91,500. But until price clears that $88,000–$89,000 zone, rallies are at risk of being sold rather than chased. If BTC fails to reclaim resistance, the downside path is clear（h3） The near-term bear case is simple: if Bitcoin can’t climb back above the $87,000 area and keep traction, sellers may attempt another leg lower. Support levels line up like this: Immediate support: $85,500 First major support: $85,000 Next support: $83,500 Then $82,500 in the near term Below that, the major “don’t break this” level is still $80,000. If BTC slips under $80,000, the risk of acceleration to the downside increases significantly — not because it’s magic, but because it’s the kind of psychological and structural level that tends to trigger forced de-risking. Indicators: momentum still leans bearish（h3） The intraday indicators aren’t offering much comfort yet: Hourly MACD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI remains below 50, suggesting sellers still have the upper hand on short timeframes. So while the $85,000 defense held for now, the market hasn’t flipped bullish — it’s just stopped bleeding.
