Bitcoin Surges 7% to Near $70K, ABTC Stock Rips 13% as Eric Trump Cheers Rally
ABTC sits 67% above its 52-week low of $4.92 on elevated volume (1.8× avg).
Summary
Bitcoin rallied over 7% to nearly $70,000 on Wednesday, its highest since early June, with trading volume exploding 174%. The move triggered the largest single-day short liquidation in Bitcoin's history at $1.42 billion. ABTC, which holds 8,300 BTC worth $573 million, closed 13% higher at $8.22. Co-founder Eric Trump publicly endorsed the rally, calling digital assets 'the future.' The surge was driven by optimism over the CLARITY Act, a White House crypto summit, and Treasury bond buyback plans that lowered yields. This follows ABTC's Q2 net loss of $57.2M and a $71.2M Bitcoin impairment, making the price recovery a key swing factor for the company's reserve value. Watch for continued Bitcoin momentum and any legislative progress on the CLARITY Act in September.
