American Bitcoin Corp. CEO Mike Ho sidestepped questions on Monday about selling Bitcoin to fund equity buybacks, a move some other companies in the industry have pursued.

American Bitcoin's 'North Star'

During American Bitcoin's second-quarter earnings call, Ho was questioned about the company's treasury management strategy and whether it would contemplate selling Bitcoin to improve business economics, similar to the approach taken by Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc..

The CEO stressed the company's commitment to its "North Star," i.e, enhancing Bitcoin per share—the amount of Bitcoin held on the balance sheet for every share outstanding.

Ho highlighted that the company's Bitcoin holdings grew by 14% in the second quarter, while the number of outstanding shares rose by about 3%. This led to an approximate 11% increase in Bitcoin ownership per share.

Q2 Earnings at a Glance

American Bitcoin's strategy combines large-scale mining operations with at-the-market Bitcoin purchases to accelerate the growth of its strategic reserve.

The company posted second-quarter revenue of $67.015 million, falling short of the $73 million analysts had expected. It reported a loss per share of $0.80, missing the Street consensus estimate of $0.15 by a wide margin.

Mining revenue rose 8% quarter-over-quarter, while revenue per Bitcoin mined fell 5%.

'We Are Absolute Bitcoin Maximalists'

Meanwhile, Eric Trump, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, used the opportunity to reiterate his long-standing belief in Bitcoin.

"We are absolute Bitcoin maximalists," he said. "I mean, Bitcoin is obviously still leading the way. Cryptocurrency in general, but Bitcoin has such an incredible future."

American Bitcoin started trading on the Nasdaq Exchange in September of last year. It currently holds 8,300 BTC, worth $527 million, making it the 16th-largest corporate BTC holder.

However, the company's path since launch has been far from smooth—the stock has plunged 95% since going public.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Realberry

Institutional-quality real estate has traditionally been difficult for individual investors to access. Realberry gives accredited investors direct access to private real estate opportunities backed by a team with 35 years of experience, $3.4 billion in assets under management, and $481 million in cumulative distributions paid to investors as of Q4 2025, according to the company. With a portfolio spanning 13 million square feet across seven U.S. states, Realberry focuses on acquiring, developing, and managing real estate with an emphasis on long-term value creation while its principals often invest alongside clients to help align interests.

FarmTogether

Farmland has historically held its value through market volatility and delivered returns uncorrelated to stocks and bonds. For accredited investors, FarmTogether offers direct access to high-quality U.S. farmland starting at $15,000 — fully managed, with no landlord headaches.

Immersed

Immersed is building technology for the future of work through spatial computing. Known for its AR/VR productivity platform that enables users to work across multiple virtual screens, the company has grown to more than 1.5 million users worldwide. Immersed is also developing Visor, a lightweight headset designed specifically for professional productivity, positioning the company at the intersection of remote work, extended reality (XR), and next-generation computing.

Fundrise

Private real estate and private credit can add income and stability to a stock-heavy portfolio. Fundrise offers access to diversified private real estate and credit strategies through an easy-to-use platform, with professionally managed portfolios designed to generate passive income and long-term growth.

Mode Mobile

Mode Mobile is changing the way people interact with their phones by letting users earn money from the same apps and activities they already use every day. Instead of platforms keeping all the advertising revenue, Mode Mobile shares a portion back with users who engage with content, play games, and scroll on their devices. Named one of Deloitte's fastest-growing software companies in North America, the company has built a large beta user base and is scaling a model that turns everyday smartphone usage into a potential income stream.

EquityMultiple

For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000, with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.
