American Bitcoin disclosed a $59.45 million net loss for the fourth quarter, representing a significant shift from the $3.48 million profit achieved during the comparable period twelve months earlier.
The company had achieved profitability during Q3, which makes the fourth quarter downturn particularly notable.
Bitcoin’s price movement served as the primary factor. The digital currency experienced approximately a 23% decline throughout the three-month window concluding December 31, 2025.
Revised FASB accounting standards mandate that companies value crypto assets at current market prices. This regulatory shift compelled American Bitcoin to record a $227 million non-cash loss connected to bitcoin’s price decrease.
Quarterly revenue totaled $78.3 million, advancing from $64.2 million during the prior-year quarter. Wall Street analysts had projected $79.6 million, placing actual results slightly below expectations.
Annual revenue for the company reached $185.2 million.
Mining Operations Maintained Profitability
Despite bitcoin‘s price decline, the company’s mining division continued to generate profits. Mining operations achieved a 53% gross margin throughout the quarter, indicating production expenses remained substantially lower than market prices.
Mining activities contributed approximately one-third of total bitcoin holdings. Market acquisitions and strategic deals accounted for the remaining two-thirds.
The company depends significantly on infrastructure supplied by Hut 8 (HUT), its majority shareholder, to maintain large-scale mining activities.
