Bitcoin stocks in the US crashed over 16%, eliminating all profits they earned on the first day of trading.
summary
- ABTC’s share price plunged more than 16%, erasing most of its profits made on Wednesday.
- Bitcoin finance companies have lost interest in investors.
- All Trump-related businesses and cryptocurrencies have plummeted over time.
ABTC shares fell sharply from $13 from their high on Wednesday, with market capitalization down to $6.2 billion.
Why ABTC stocks are crashing
The crash occurred because it was in the price discovery stage after the reverse merger that was released this week. It is common for newly listed companies to experience volatility on the first day of a transaction.
For example, within the first few days, Circle Stock was from $64 to nearly $300 to nearly $300 as a publicly traded company. It is currently swooping down and slowly approaching $100 for support.
Similarly, Bullish’s stock price first surged to $117 after its August IPO, and is now plunging below $50.
ABTC stock prices have also plummeted as Bitcoin (BTC) financing companies have lost favour from investors. A closer look at most of these companies shows that they are in the bear market.
MSTR stock price has plummeted more than 30% from its highest point this year. Similarly, Metaplanet, considered Japan’s micro-tactics, fell 61% from the start of the year.
One reason why these companies are selling is the high premiums of Bitcoin Holdings. For MSTR, there is a $38 billion gap between Bitcoin Holdings and Enterprise Value. At Metaplanet, the gap is over $4 billion.

Another reason is that the Bitcoin finance industry is very saturated, with over 100 public companies holding nearly 1 million coins.
Bitcoin in the US distinguishes itself from other finance companies in that its holding strategy involves using mined Bitcoin instead of buying in the open market. This means that the acquisition costs will be lower than that of other companies.
ABTC’s stock price also fell sharply due to a poor track record of Trump-related investments. Trump’s media stocks have fallen by more than 68% from its October 2024 high.
Similarly, official Trump prices have fallen more than 90% from their January highs. Recently launched global Liberty Financial Tokens are down 50% from Monday’s high.
Will American Bitcoin stocks recover?
It is too early to determine whether ABTC’s stock price will recover anytime soon. However, stocks could continue to decline based on the performance of Trump-related assets and the performance of other IPOs recently launched.
And as demand for Bitcoin finance companies declines, stock prices continue to decline. Most importantly, there are valuation concerns as it has a market capitalization of over $6 billion for its $267 million worth of Bitcoin holdings.
