In just over 8 months since our Nasdaq debut, @ABTC has rapidly scaled to 7,300+ Bitcoin, nearly 90,000 mining machines, and an amazing 52.4% gross margin. Today we rank as the #16# largest public Bitcoin treasury in the world — and we’re adding to our holdings every day. In Q1 2026, we delivered our strongest quarter yet: 817 BTC mined at a 47% cost discount, while growing our reserves by over 1,600 BTC. Massive congratulations to this incredible team and the entire @ABTC family! @Hut8Corp @ashergenoot @mikehomkh @MattPrusak
