Before I get into the results, I want to spend a minute on how we think about this business, because it explains the decisions behind the results we will cover today. Our conviction is simple. We believe Bitcoin is a growing capital asset and that its long-term compounding will outperform our cost of capital. And at its core, American Bitcoin is an operating business built on this conviction. While Bitcoin is facing headwinds, our response is to do the work today that prepares us for tomorrow. That is why strengthening our operating business is so important. It is what allows us to continue to grow through Bitcoin's market cycles. At the same time, we are clear-eyed about the environment. Every business navigates macro headwinds and tailwinds. In Bitcoin mining, those forces are structural. On the cost side, competition for power has intensified as demand from other large-scale use cases grow. On the revenue side, the Bitcoin price declined during the quarter, which compressed mining revenue across the industry. And the next halving will reduce block subsidy again. On the schedule, Bitcoin has always followed. We cannot control these forces. What we can control is how we respond to them. We believe the hallmark of an enduring business is the ability to create value across market cycles. And we view this stretch as a period of opportunistic growth for this company. Our conviction in Bitcoin's long-term adoption is unchanged and we are continuing to evaluate opportunities in which we can improve our unit economics and grow our operating business. We will share more as those opportunities take shape. Through this environment, we have centered American Bitcoin on operating excellence and bottom line economics. Our goal is to increase shareholder value by running a disciplined, efficient business through the cycle and to earn your confidence the only way it can be earned, through execution quarter after quarter. I will cover the quarter in three parts, the performance of the mining platform and our financial results, the growth of our strategic reserve, and what it means per share and our near-term priorities. With that context, let me turn to our second quarter, which was a quarter of higher production, revenue growth and continued reserve accumulation. In Q2 2026, we mined 932 Bitcoin compared with 817 Bitcoin in the first quarter, an increase of approximately 14%. This was our highest quarterly production on record. Drumheller was an important contributor. The site was fully energized in April, adding roughly three exahash of next generation capacity. So Q2 was the first quarter in which the site contributed at scale. Revenue was approximately $67 million in Q2, compared with $62.1 million in Q1, an increase of approximately 8%. That growth came against a declining Bitcoin price, which declined approximately 12% period end over period end from Q1, including a peak to trough decline of approximately 28% from May 10th to June 26th. The increase from Q1 was driven by higher production, the first quarter of Drumheller at scale, and a downward adjustment in network difficulty, not by a favorable price environment. Cost of revenue was approximately $34 million compared with $29.6 million in Q1. Gross profit was approximately $33 million in Q2 compared with $32.5 million in Q1. And gross margin was approximately 49% in Q2 compared with 52% in Q1. The minor margin compression in the quarter resulted from the decline in BIC1 price, not from a deterioration in the underlying cost structure. The increase in cost of revenue quarter over quarter was primarily driven by marginally higher energy costs at selective sites. General and administrative expense was approximately $7.7 million compared with $6.9 million in Q1 and remained roughly flat as a percentage of revenue at approximately 11% quarter over quarter. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the quarter was approximately $57.2 million compared with a net loss of $81.8 million in Q1. The result includes a loss on digital assets of $71.2 million compared with a $117.2 million loss in Q1. That reflects the required fair value measurement of Bitcoin we continue to hold, an accounting mechanism, not a realized trading result. At quarter ends, our total owned fleet stood at nearly 90,000 miners, representing approximately 28.1 exahash per second of capacity. of which approximately 25 exahash was operational at an average efficiency of approximately 14 joules per terahash. Revenue per Bitcoin mined was approximately $71,900, down roughly 5% from approximately $76,000 in Q1. That compares with the Bitcoin price decline of approximately 12% over the same period on a period-end basis. In other words, Revenue per Bitcoin held up better than the price move, and with record quarterly production on top of it, total revenue still grew approximately 8%. Production, not price, drove our growth this quarter. Cost to mine was approximately $36,500 per Bitcoin, compared with approximately $36,200 in Q1, an increase of less than 1%. Despite a volatile price environment and the energization of new capacity during the quarter, mining Bitcoin at a meaningful discount to its market price remains the engine of this business. And holding our unit costs roughly flat through another volatile quarter reflects the pairing of efficient infrastructure with competitive energy across our sites. Looking ahead, summer conditions can affect production and power economics, particularly in Texas. We will continue to focus on optimizing for economic output rather than simply maximizing uptime. Next, let me turn to the strategic reserve. We began the quarter with approximately 7,021 Bitcoin and ended it with 8,002 Bitcoin, growth of nearly 1,000 Bitcoin or roughly 14% in a single quarter. That growth reflects how our accumulation model is built. Mine production is the foundation supplemented by strategic at-market purchases when we believe they are accretive. This quarter, the increase came primarily from mine production, supplemented by approximately $4 million of strategic at-market purchases. And we do not sell a single Bitcoin from our balance sheet reserve. Mining and purchases perform different roles. Mining uses our infrastructure to convert power into Bitcoin at a discount. Purchases are opportunistic. We weigh liquidity, market conditions, and our cost of capital. And when those factors do not support per share accretion, we buy less. The economic value of the reserve will move with the Bitcoin price, and fair value accounting will make that movement visible in the income statement each quarter. Our operating policy is not based on that quarterly mark. We are managing the reserve as a long-duration strategic asset. One housekeeping note before I turn to per share figures. All per share comparisons today are presented on a consistent basis with prior periods restated to match. And a quick reminder on terminology. Satoshis per share and Bitcoin per share measure the same thing. One Bitcoin equals 100 million Satoshis. So the difference is simply one of scale. At quarter end, Satoshi's per share stood at approximately 11,000, compared with approximately 9,950 as of March 31st, growth of approximately 11% in a single quarter. Since her NASDAQ listing on September 3rd, 2025, Satoshi's per share has grown approximately 170%. Satoshi's per share is one of the measures we use to track our discipline in growing our Bitcoin reserve faster than our share count. Our approach to the ATM program follows that same logic. We ended the quarter with approximately 82% of capacity remaining under the ATM program. We do not view share issuance as an end in itself. Thank you for joining us today. running an efficient mining platform and growing our Bitcoin ownership per share. We are not stepping back from our thesis. We are doubling down on it, on Bitcoin and on the infrastructure that supports it. We will be disciplined in how we pursue that growth, and we will keep you updated as we execute. On a more personal note, our president and interim chief financial officer, Matt Prusak, has decided to take on an exciting new opportunity in his hometown of Austin. For many of us, our relationship with Matt goes back more than 10 years, long before American Bitcoin existed. Through the U.S. Bitcoin Corp. days, to our merger with Hut8, then through ABTC's launch, and everything we have built together since. Matt has truly been a great partner and a friend. We are a small team here at American Bitcoin, and any team member's success is a feather in all of our caps. He will remain in his role through August 4th to support a smooth transition, and Paul Sachs, our head of derivatives, will step in as interim chief financial officer. Matt, thank you. Congratulations, and all of us are excited for you as you begin this next chapter. With that, I will turn the call over to our chief strategy officer, Eric Trump.

Thank you, Mikey. Good morning, everybody. I want to step back and talk about what this team has built. because it's worth remembering how far this company has come in such an incredibly short period of time. Just over 16 months ago, American Bitcoin did not exist. We launched ABTC on March 31st, 2025, mining with roughly 10x the hash of capacity. Within months, we completed an oversubscribed private raise of approximately $220 million. Just five months later, on September 3rd, 2025, we went public on NASDAQ. Hard to believe that was exactly 11 months ago from today. On the day of our debut, we held approximately 2,460 Bitcoin and ranked roughly 30th among publicly traded Bitcoin companies on Earth. From there, this team kept building. We scaled the fleet to approximately 25 exahash. We ended 2025 with 5,401 Bitcoin and moved into the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin companies anywhere in the world. We continued to grow. In the first quarter of this year, our reserve topped 7,000 Bitcoin, and we continued to increase our compute, energizing our Drumheller site, which was fully online by the second quarter. This resulted in more growth, approximately 28.1 exahash per second, nearly three times the compute from our launch date. Almost 90,000 mining machines of own capacity working around the clock. We ended Q2 of this year with 8,002 Bitcoin in our strategic reserve. This number makes us the 16th largest publicly traded Bitcoin company in the world. Every day we continue to grow. Every day we continue to build. And today we sit on approximately 8,300 Bitcoin in our treasury. From zero to roughly 8,300 Bitcoin, 28 exahash, and almost 90,000 mining machines in a little over 16 months. From a non-existing company to the 16th largest Bitcoin company on earth in a little over 16 months. On our last call, I told you we were focused on two races, accumulating the most Bitcoin and doing it at the lowest possible cost. This quarter, through an extremely volatile market, a market where the price of Bitcoin is down almost 50% from all-time highs, we kept singular focus on both. Bitcoin Corp., Asher Kevin Genoot, Michael, Eric Trump, Matthew Prusak We are building this company designed to endure decades. This is our singular mission. I want to thank everyone across the American Bitcoin team who has delivered this quarter. This progress belongs to our shareholders as much as it does to our team. Our management and the largest holders are invested in this company's success alongside the rest of our shareholders. And we intend to keep building, delivering and earning that trust every quarter. And to Matt, congratulations, my friend. Matt has really poured himself into this company from the day we launched and everyone on the American Bitcoin team is excited for him as he begins his new chapter in Austin. He will always be a big part of our incredible story. With that operator, we're happy to take any questions.

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star then the number one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand and join the queue. If you would like to withdraw your question, simply press star one again. Once again, to ask a question at this time, press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. Your first question comes from Greg Lewis with BTIG. Your line is open.

Yeah, hey, thank you and good morning and thanks for taking my questions. You know, Michael, I was hoping that you could talk a little bit more, you know, now that the facility is up and running, you know, kind of how are we thinking about, you know, the future build outs of self mining here, you know, over the next 12 to 24 months?

Good morning, Greg, and thanks for the question. I'll be candid, and this is very apparent in today's macro environment when it comes to energy, when it comes to site availability. There is roughly 1,000 gigawatts of total generation in the U.S., and 800 gigawatts is the peak. So there's 200 gigawatts of excess power that companies like us, other developers are working on front of the meter interconnects and tapping into that allocation. Since the Chachapiti moment, we've seen A ferry of new developers coming in to source the same power. Electrons are fungible. It's the same power that is being used for AI data centers. And the market has become increasingly competitive. The value of these sites, the bids, have become a lot more competitive given the economics of the AI data centers today. We continue to source the silver linings of site availability as we've demonstrated in the past when it came to looking for renewables in congested areas. We believe that we can still continue to find competitive sites and we'll update in the coming quarters.

Okay, super helpful. And then I was just hoping, obviously super focused on what's happening from a legislation perspective. I was kind of wondering, like, as we sit here in early August, you know, how are you thinking about, you know, positioning the company into, you know, progress around the Clarity Act?

What we control are our operating metrics. This was a quarter that we've mined more Bitcoin than any previous quarter. Our gross profit increased even with a declining Bitcoin price given our increased production. Bitcoin Thank you for joining us. We are only able to focus on what we can control and that's our operations.

Super helpful. Thanks very much.

Once again, to ask a question at this time, please press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. Your next question comes from Matthew Galenko with Maxim Group. Your line is open.

Hey, thanks for taking my questions and congrats to Matt. Maybe firstly, I'm hoping you could maybe talk about your pulse on the network hash rate, how responsive other miners have been in your view to this price environment, and what you expect from the other miner behavior as we move into the halving.

That's a great question, Matt. What we've seen is a stable or decreasing overall network hash rate environments. What the numbers show is about a third of the Bitcoin network was primarily driven by U.S. public companies. Some of our peers, our peers have in the recent quarters have all pivoted existing Bitcoin mining sites and have signed or in the process of signing AI data center sites. These are typically long-durated, 10, 15, sometimes longer terms. And once that hash rate comes offline, that rack space no longer is available, even if we see improved hash prices and the economics of Bitcoin mining improve from here. What that means is this is more of a permanent environment where those machines are coming off the network and won't make its way back on. which is why we've seen over the last few quarters hash rate has maintained or decreased, allowing us to increase our production for the same participation of the network.

Thank you. And maybe as a follow-up to that question, I know you, you know, you talked about the difficulty in sourcing, you know, additional sites, but, you know, Do you have a sense for what the pipeline of unique sites that are appropriate for Bitcoin mining and not HPC or inference looks like? What do you think about opportunities for sourcing sites and what's appropriate given your scale of operations versus where you could find sites that aren't necessarily suitable for AI?

Yeah, again, that's a great question. And I'll give you the simple answer to that. And it really comes down to latency. Latency, Bitcoin mining is location agnostic, as we've seen with recent AI data centers moving away from the tier one AZs like Northern Virginia, Atlanta. AI data centers are also open to new markets. So Bitcoin mining is not unique in that sense. However, latency continues to be a constraint for AI offtake customers. With Bitcoin mining, we're able to install a Starlink. We're able to mine Bitcoin with very low bandwidth. Even if the power is available for AI offtake, they still require fiber, dark fiber in most cases. And fiber takes time to build to bring to these more rural areas. That is the market that we're tapping and we continue to monitor for our new expansion sites.

Thanks.

And if I could sneak one additional question in and then I'll jump back in the queue.

Just, you know, I guess we've seen a bit of an evolution, whether from, you know, large scale Bitcoin miners taking on proactive treasury management or, you know, the last quarter we've seen strategy take on kind of a different bent towards managing their treasury. Maybe just go back over what your North Star is.

Is it Bitcoin per share?

And given some of the changes we've seen across the industry, do you see the opportunity of leaning into equity repurchases, perhaps through the sale of Bitcoin to fund that as A potential opportunity for driving economics and returns to the business, or maybe talk about some of the levers you have and how you're evaluating them. Thank you.

Absolutely. This quarter, our shares outstanding grew by about 3%, whereas our Bitcoin holdings grew by about 14%. and going back to our Bitcoin per share metric, that per share ownership rose by roughly 11%, which demonstrates our discipline on focusing on the North Star being increasing Bitcoin per share. Outside of treasury management, and being opportunistic and being able to make open market purchases, we have a very profitable operating business that has remained true to our thesis that even in challenged times with headwinds of the Bitcoin price environment, we're able to maintain gross profitability and a lower structural discount to being able to purchase Bitcoin at the spot market.

This concludes the question and answer session. I'd like to turn the call back over to Eric Trump for any closing remarks.

Well, guys, thank you. Greg, Matt, thanks a lot for the question. We have a lot of analysts on the call today. So many of them have been so great. Ben, Brian, I see you guys up here on the screen in front of me. You know, guys, we started this company 16 months ago. We've been public exactly 11 months today. It's kind of hard to believe as we sit here, literally as we sit here right now, 11 months ago, we were ringing the bell on the NASDAQ exactly 11 months ago. And you look at what we've created. I mean, we've created the 16th largest public Bitcoin treasury company in the world. In 11 months, we've gotten to that point. You know, we're holding at 50%, almost 50% all of us here, we've done everything right. We have almost 90,000 miners, 28 exahash. We have some of the cheapest power Anywhere our Bitcoin stack is growing and growing, obviously, as difficulties come down, that helps. But obviously, we've brought a lot of power onto market. We're doing a phenomenal job. But our average cost right now to mine a Bitcoin is roughly $36,000. Name another industry that wouldn't absolutely die for 49% profit margins. And so I'm incredibly proud of this team. What we've accomplished in this period of time is nothing short of spectacular. I think where I Asher Kevin Genoot, Michael Prusak for roughly $0.50 on the dollar. And I think this is a company that is just going to continue to do extremely well. Again, despite your price compression, despite price falling by 50%, we're maintaining the same margin as we have since the day that we founded this business. Revenue grew 8% this quarter, and Bitcoin was down 12% that quarter. No one else in the crypto space, no one else in the Bitcoin space can can tell our story. And so when I look at this incredibly lean team, we run some of the lowest SG&As in the industry. We maintain incredible, incredible cost discipline because we believe in Bitcoin. We want our treasury to grow. This is the asset that we believe in. I'm just incredibly proud. We've kept a lean team. We've executed on our vision impeccably well. We've maintained margin. We continue to grow our treasury, despite probably the toughest environment or one of the toughest environments crypto has ever seen. And I just think we, more than any company out there, are so well positioned on the other side of this bell curve. We are absolute Bitcoin maximalists. You see what's happening around the world every single day. You see what's happening with the largest financial institutions in this country, whether it be the Charles Schwab's or whether it be the Fidelity's or the BlackRock's. You see what's happening all around the world with the adoption of cryptocurrencies, but mainly, mainly Bitcoin. I mean, Bitcoin is obviously still leading the way. Cryptocurrency in general, but Bitcoin has such an incredible future. We keep becoming stronger and stronger and stronger. This is truly our life's work and our life's mission. What we've developed in 11 months is something that no other team anywhere on earth could have pulled together. Our future is incredibly bright. This is just the beginning. We're not going to slow down at all. In fact, we're accelerating in a time when so many other companies are slowing down. I think that's A huge strategic advantage that we have as a company versus so many. So many other of these dApps are just kind of, you know, they're dead in the water. They're just sitting there kind of floating around, not doing a whole lot, have nothing exciting to announce. The cost of being public is eating them alive. You know, and we're sitting here operating at 49% gross margins executing on our plan each and every day. So to this entire team, we're incredibly proud of you. This has been a hell of a journey. Hard to believe it's exactly 11 months right now we are ringing the bell. And I know this could be our life's work for many, many years to come. So to all the great analysts on here, thanks for the outcry of support. I mean, just Some of the reviews on our company have been phenomenal. I see Claire Street on there. They've been amazing as I look up at the board. And Ben, you've been incredible and so many others. So guys, we appreciate you. We appreciate the conviction you have. And hopefully these numbers today speak for themselves.

This concludes today's call. Thank you for joining. You may now disconnect and have a wonderful rest of your day.
