Publicly traded Bitcoin miner American Bitcoin (ABTC) reported net losses of nearly $82 million in Q1 2026, up from $59.4 million in Q4 2025. The firm added more than 1,600 BTC to its stash, which now stands above 7,300 BTC, or $583 million worth.

The firm came to fruition last year when it combined with Hut 8 and later merged with Gryphon Digital in a stock-for-stock merger. Despite the quarterly loss, ABTC's shares have rebounded about 30% in the last month.
