American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), supported by the Trump family, attracted attention in the financial world by announcing that it achieved a huge annual revenue increase of 159% in the fourth quarter of 2025 data. Although the company managed to increase its revenues to $78.3 million in its first six months on the stock exchange, its operational profit table was overshadowed by market fluctuations. This success of the company, which increased its cryptocurrency stock to 6 thousand 235 BTC, was reflected to the public simultaneously with ethical discussions and legal investigations involving the political figures behind it.
Financial Growth and Market Pressure
The data announced by the company proves that the increase in cryptocurrency mining capacity is directly reflected in revenue items. Its revenue stream grew by 22% quarter-over-quarter, making ABTC the 17th most publicly traded company holding the most Bitcoin globally. However, this numerical growth did not bring the expected acceleration to stock performance. On the contrary, share prices fell 3.33% on the last trading day to $ 1,015, and the total loss since the beginning of the year reached a staggering 75.8%.
The basis for this decline in shares lies in the net loss of $ 59.5 million recorded due to volatility in the cryptocurrency market. In addition, the general negative atmosphere in the US stock markets and the failure of technology giant Nvidia to meet expectations created additional selling pressure on ABTC. Despite the company’s huge Bitcoin reserves, investors continue to take a cautious stance due to macroeconomic data and sectoral risks.
Political Connections and Security Crisis
American Bitcoin and its accompanying DeFi protocol, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), are the target of heavy criticism due to being directly managed by the Trump family. Eric and Donald Trump Jr. These structures, established by President Donald Trump and supported by President Donald Trump as “General Advisor”, are shaken by allegations of conflict of interest. In particular, the fact that the family obtained ten times their real estate income through WLFI strengthens the allegations that political influence is used for personal commercial gain.
The investigation, launched by the US Senate in 2025, focused on suspicions of funds being transferred to countries such as Russia and Iran, and even to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus, via WLFI. Practices such as the centralized structure of the protocol, restricting voting rights and freezing wallets are criticized on the grounds that they contradict crypto philosophy. In addition, presidential pardons given to figures like Binance founder CZ and loosening of sectoral controls have made rumors of “corruption” louder in the financial corridors.
