American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ: ABTC) saw its stock surge 5.19% in a 24-hour period on Monday, as co-founder Eric Trump reiterated his bullish stance on Bitcoin and encouraged investors to capitalize on the current market dip. The rally comes amid a broader uptick in crypto-related stocks, reflecting renewed optimism in the digital asset space.
In a recent interview with CNBC, Trump, who is also the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, emphasized that "This is a great time to buy Bitcoin. There's no question." He restated his belief that Bitcoin would eventually reach $1 million per coin, though he admitted it might take "some years" to achieve this milestone. Trump's company, American Bitcoin, currently holds 4,004 BTC, valued at approximately $350 million, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net.
The positive sentiment in the crypto sector was further evidenced by gains in other crypto-related stocks. Bakkt Holdings rose 5%, while companies like IREN, Bitfarms, and Bit Digital saw increases of around 4%. This broader market movement, coupled with Trump's bullish comments, appears to have fueled investor enthusiasm for American Bitcoin, driving its significant price appreciation.
