American Bitcoin Corp. lands spot on Fortune’s first-ever Crypto 100 list
Fortune just dropped its inaugural Crypto 100 ranking, and American Bitcoin Corp. made the cut. The list, published on June 11, distinguishes what Fortune considers the most impactful companies and protocols across ten segments of the digital asset industry.
American Bitcoin Corp., known by its ticker ABTC, was founded in March 2025 by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. The Miami-based operation went public on Nasdaq through a reverse merger with Griffin Digital Mining around September 2025, giving it less than a year of public trading history before landing on this list.
The company is majority-owned by Hut 8 Corp., one of the larger publicly traded Bitcoin mining firms in North America. Michael Ho serves as CEO, steering the day-to-day operations while the Trump brothers maintain their founding roles.
ABTC’s core strategy blends two approaches that are typically treated as separate businesses. First, it runs large-scale ASIC mining operations. Second, it employs a strategic treasury model focused on accumulating and holding Bitcoin rather than immediately selling mined coins.
As of mid-2026, that treasury strategy has built reserves of approximately 7,500 BTC.
The numbers behind the recognition
ABTC’s Q1 2026 earnings, reported on May 6, paint a nuanced picture. Revenue came in at $62.12 million for the quarter, down from $78.32 million in the previous period. ABTC’s reserves climbed roughly 30% quarter-over-quarter, pushing past 7,000 BTC during Q1. Mining gross margins held near 52%.
ABTC recently completed energization of approximately 11,298 additional ASICs.
The Fortune Crypto 100 also recognized Marathon Digital Holdings as the top contender in the mining category.
Why this ranking matters beyond bragging rights
Fortune isn’t some crypto-native publication handing out awards at a conference afterparty. It’s a legacy business media brand with decades of credibility behind its various rankings. The original Fortune 500 has been a corporate status symbol since 1955.
The strategic reserve model is a bet on Bitcoin’s long-term price appreciation. MicroStrategy, now called Strategy, proved that a Bitcoin treasury approach can send a stock price to the moon. But the flip side is real: if Bitcoin enters a prolonged downturn, companies sitting on large reserves face mark-to-market losses that can tighten credit.
ABTC’s Q1 revenue decline from $78.32 million to $62.12 million is worth monitoring. Growing from roughly 5,400 BTC to over 7,000 BTC in a single quarter, and then continuing to approximately 7,500 BTC by mid-2026, shows the accumulation machine is working.
