Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation Continues as American Bitcoin Takes the Lead

2025/12/16 11:50
  • American Bitcoin has surpassed ProCap Financial in corporate Bitcoin holdings, accumulating 5,044 BTC valued at approximately US$443 million.
  • The corporate buy-and-hold trend is expanding despite a broader price pullback in BTC, with the top 100 publicly listed corporate holders now controlling over 1.08 million BTC.
  • This accumulation has increased the link between BTC price movements and equity performance, leading to amplified share-price volatility for treasury-heavy companies like American Bitcoin and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy).

American Bitcoin has moved ahead of ProCap Financial in the corporate Bitcoin treasury rankings after building its holdings past the 5,000 BTC mark, despite a broader pullback in Bitcoin prices.

Data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET shows American Bitcoin holds 5,044 BTC, valued at about US$443 million (AU$677 million). ProCap Financial, founded by Anthony Pompliano, is slightly behind with roughly 5,000 BTC, placing it outside the top tier of corporate holders even as it continues to add to reserves.

The key point is not the gap between the two, but that the corporate buy-and-hold Bitcoin model is still expanding even while BTC has been under heavy pressure. The price of BTC took a deep nosedive this Monday, falling below $85K (AU$128K) at some point, according to CoinGecko.

Corporations Expand Their Control Over the BTC Supply

The accumulation trend is widening as the top 100 publicly listed corporate holders now control more than 1.08 million BTC combined, increasing the link between bitcoin price moves and equity performance for companies that hold large balances or operate Bitcoin-linked businesses.

That linkage has increased share-price volatility. American Bitcoin’s stock fell more than 50% in one session earlier this month, while Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, is down more than 60% from its peak, showing just how treasury-heavy models can amplify market stress when investor risk appetite weakens.

It should be noted that the US left crypto out of Trump’s National Security Strategy, despite his early public support and focus on it, something that didn’t sit right with the community after years of pumping hype and launching an official memecoin, which is now down over 90%.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
