August 3 (Reuters) — American Bitcoin, supported by two of U.S. President Donald Trump’s sons, announced on Monday, reporting a swing to a loss in the second quarter due to a decline in the price of bitcoin.
As geopolitical tensions intensified, risk-averse sentiment grew in the market, prompting investors to reduce allocations to risk assets and putting broad pressure on cryptocurrency prices.
The key points from this earnings report are as follows:
1. At the end of the second quarter, the company held more than 8,000 bitcoins, up 14% from the previous quarter.
2. The company continued to increase investment in its bitcoin mining business. In the second quarter, it mined about 932 bitcoins, setting a record high for a single quarter.
3. From April to June this year, the price of bitcoin fell cumulatively by more than 11%.
4. CEO Mike Ho said: “Despite headwinds in the bitcoin market in the second quarter, we remain focused on doing what we can control.”
5. The company posted a net loss of $57.2 million in the second quarter, compared with a net profit of $3.4 million in the same period last year.
6. Second-quarter revenue was approximately $67 million, up from $30.3 million in the same period last year.
Despite a sharp year-over-year increase in revenue, the value of the company’s bitcoin assets was affected as the bitcoin price fell noticeably in the second quarter, ultimately leading to an overall performance that turned to a loss.
