American Bitcoin profit rises as mining margins weaken
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by Cointelegraph ·
American Bitcoin posted quarterly net income of $126 million, largely because of a noncash gain on its Bitcoin holdings. But mining revenue fell, the cost to mine each BTC increased, and the company would have posted an operating loss without the balance-sheet gain.
Key points
- Net income was driven by a $197.3 million noncash gain on BTC holdings.
- Mining revenue fell 5.5% to $63.4 million in the quarter.
- The cost to mine one BTC rose about 15% to $42,100.
- Gross mining margin declined from 49% to 41%.
- Rivals are increasingly investing in AI infrastructure instead of only mining BTC.
Why it matters
The report shows how treasury gains can mask weaker mining economics. It also reflects a broader industry shift as miners compete for power and capital with AI data centers.
