Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Vanguard discloses a passive 5.8% stake in American Battery Technology.

The Vanguard Group reports beneficial ownership of 7,548,168 American Battery Technology common shares, or 5.8% of the class as of 12/31/2025. Voting and dispositive authority are entirely shared, with no sole power reported, consistent with pooled client holdings.

Vanguard affirms the stake is held in the ordinary course of business and not to change or influence control. It also notes that clients, including registered investment companies and other managed accounts, have rights to dividends or sale proceeds, and that no single other person has more than 5% interest.

An internal realignment effective January 12, 2026 means certain subsidiaries or business divisions will begin reporting beneficial ownership on a disaggregated basis. Future ownership reports may therefore appear under different Vanguard-affiliated entities even though investment strategies remain the same as before the realignment.
