Two major players in the American crypto landscape — American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC) and ProCap Financial (BRR) — have announced significant additions to their corporate Bitcoin reserves. The news arrives at a time when institutions and publicly traded companies are rapidly increasing BTC exposure in anticipation of the next market phase.
Eric Trump’s ABTC Adds 416 BTC in a Single Week
American Bitcoin Corp., co-founded by Eric Trump and positioned as a modern operator blending mining, infrastructure, and strategic digital asset holdings, reported a substantial purchase of 416 BTC in the week ending December 8.
With this latest acquisition, the firm now holds 4,783 BTC, according to a Wednesday press release.
Trump, who serves as the company’s Chief Strategic Officer, highlighted that the internal metric Satoshis Per Share (SPS) — measuring how much BTC backs each share — has climbed to 507 satoshis, marking a 17% increase in just over a month.
SPS is considered a key valuation gauge for shareholders, reflecting the company’s long-term objective of strengthening its balance sheet with Bitcoin.
ABTC shares rose slightly during Wednesday’s early trading session, though they continue to recover from a sharp 50% drop on December 2, triggered by the release of privately issued shares tied to merger activity.
Pompliano’s ProCap (BRR) Reaches the 5,000 BTC Milestone
ProCap Financial (BRR) — newly listed after completing a SPAC merger and led by crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano — is also expanding its Bitcoin treasury.
The company added 49 BTC during the latest reporting period, pushing its holdings to a notable 5,000 bitcoin.
According to the firm, the most recent purchase resulted in a realized loss, giving ProCap potential tax advantages by offsetting future gains.
Pompliano commented:
“By using a tax-efficient optimization strategy, we created real value for our shareholders.”
BRR shares experienced a modest uptick at market open, but remain down more than 60% in recent days as the stock stabilizes following its post-SPAC debut.
Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation Accelerates Across the U.S.
The latest BTC purchases by ABTC and BRR highlight a broader trend: a growing number of public companies are treating Bitcoin as a strategic long-term reserve asset.
Motivations include:
hedging against inflation,treasury diversification,increasing shareholder value via BTC-backed metrics,and positioning the company within a rapidly expanding digital financial ecosystem.
Both firms now rank among notable U.S. companies deepening their commitment to Bitcoin as part of a forward-looking corporate strategy.

Bitcoin futures open interest has fallen to its lowest since 2024, as waning institutional demand puts pressure on BTC prices.
On February 13, news reports indicate that Bitcoin's recent price has been under continuous pressure, failing to stay above $72,000. Meanwhile, the total open interest in Bitcoin futures has fallen to $34 billion, hitting a new low since November 2024, down approximately 28% from 30 days ago. Although the number of open contracts measured in Bitcoin remains around 502,450, indicating that overall leverage demand has not significantly decreased, forced liquidations have accumulated to $5.2 billion, intensifying market concerns that Bitcoin may fall back to the $60,000 support level.
The weak bullish leverage demand in the market highlights a decoupling of Bitcoin from traditional financial markets. Over the past month, Bitcoin has declined by 28%, with investors lacking clear catalysts. At the same time, gold prices have returned to the psychological level of $5,000, and the S&P 500 index is approaching its all-time high. Some analysts believe that the risk-averse sentiment is driven by a soft U.S. labor market. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that only 181,000 new jobs are expected to be added in 2025, below expectations, but the White House emphasizes that slowing population growth is leading to decreased job demand.

JPMorgan Cuts Bitcoin Production Cost to $77K, Stays Positive on Crypto in 2026
JPMorgan estimates Bitcoin’s production cost has dropped to \$77,000 from \$90,000 since January, driven by a 15% decline in mining difficulty—the steepest since China’s 2021 ban. Historically a soft price floor, this level suggests miner capitulation is nearing its end. The bank remains bullish on 2026, forecasting institutional inflows, not retail speculation, to fuel the next rally, and reiterates its \$266,000 long‑term Bitcoin target.
