American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC), which accumulated 8,000 BTC, is facing a second-quarter earnings test amidst a 95% stock price plunge since its listing.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet Benzinga on August 3 (local time), American Bitcoin will announce its second-quarter earnings before the market opens on Monday. The market expects earnings per share of $0.15. Revenue is projected to be $73.8 million, an increase of approximately 19% from the previous quarter.

Wall Street's average target price is $8. Maxim Group presented the highest target price of $15 last month. Roth Capital, H.C. Wainwright & Co., and Maxim Group all initiated coverage with a 'buy' rating.

The short interest ratio relative to outstanding shares rose from 2.3% to 3.2%. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator gave a buy signal. The Bull-Bear Power indicator, which compares the strength of buyers and sellers, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicated neutrality.

American Bitcoin holds 8,000 BTC as its own strategic reserve asset. The value of its holdings is $500 million, making it the 16th largest among companies worldwide. American Bitcoin's stock price has fallen by 95% since its Nasdaq listing in September last year.

Shareholder value lost since the listing is estimated at $500 million. During the same period, co-founder Eric Trump's assets increased from $190 million to $280 million. It was also pointed out that profitability deteriorated due to a surge in Bitcoin production costs, including mining equipment, marketing, and capital expenditures. Trump refuted this analysis, claiming it contained political bias.
