Trump-Backed American Bitcoin (ABTC) Sets Reverse Split For July 2

American Bitcoin Corp. (Nasdaq: ABTC), a Bitcoin accumulation platform focused on the buildout of America’s Bitcoin infrastructure backbone, has set the effective time of its 1-for-15 reverse stock split for 5:00 p.m. on July 2, 2026. 

The board fixed the ratio after shareholders granted their approval at the company’s 2026 annual meeting on June 22.

The common stock will begin trade on a reverse split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the same symbol, ABTC, at the market open on July 6.

What this means is that every 15 issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock will reclassify into one share of Class A common stock, and every 15 issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock will reclassify into one share of Class B common stock, each subject to adjustment for fractional shares.

The company has no Class C common stock outstanding. The step reduces the share count from 1,092,295,800 shares — 360,070,897 of Class A, 732,224,903 of Class B, and no Class C — to close to 73 million shares, a figure that comprises some 24 million shares of Class A, some 49 million shares of Class B, and no Class C. 

The reverse split leaves the number of authorized shares and the par value of each class unchanged, according to the company.

Two other measures passed at the same session: Asher Genoot joined the board as a Class I director, and KPMG LLP gained ratification as the company’s auditor for the fiscal year that ends December 31, 2026.

American Bitcoin’s background

American Bitcoin traces its roots to American Data Centers, the venture rebranded in March 2025 when Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. joined mining infrastructure firm Hut 8 to launch the company.

Hut 8 contributed mining assets for an eighty percent stake, while the Trump family and American Data Centers shareholders held the rest. Eric Trump serves as co-founder and chief strategy officer.

Rather than pursue a traditional IPO, the company merged with Gryphon Digital Mining and used its Nasdaq listing as a vehicle. 

American Bitcoin began trading in September 2025 as a pure-play miner and Bitcoin treasury platform. The reserve has since climbed past 6,000 BTC, though the shares have seen sharp swings amid crypto volatility.
