[SCHEDULE 13D/A] American Bitcoin Corp. SEC Filing
American Bitcoin Corp. completed a 5-for-1 reverse stock split and reclassified its common stock as Class A common stock, then merged with pre-merger American Bitcoin Corp. The reporting persons, Anchorage Lending CA, LLC and Anchor Labs, Inc., held 12,672,454 pre-split shares which became 2,534,491 Class A shares after the reverse split and reclassification. On September 3, 2025, the reporting persons sold 2,534,490 Class A shares in open-market transactions for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,191,136.03, and the previously disclosed loan was paid in full in cash. Following these transactions, the reporting persons may be deemed to beneficially own one share of Class A common stock, representing less than 0.1% of the class, and they ceased to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Class A shares.
- Loan repaid in cash, eliminating the previously disclosed indebtedness related to the reporting persons
- Aggregate proceeds of $20,191,136.03 realized from open-market sales, indicating monetization of the position
- Reporting persons reduced their stake to one share, meaning they no longer hold >5% ownership and lost significant influence
- Substantial disposition of shares (2,534,490 Class A shares sold), which materially changed the shareholder composition
Insights
TL;DR: Significant reduction of anchor holders' stake after a reverse split and open-market sale; proceeds realized and loan repaid.
The Amendment details a corporate restructuring sequence—a 5-for-1 reverse split, share reclassification and a stock-for-stock merger—followed by the reporting persons selling essentially their entire post-split stake for aggregate gross proceeds of $20.19 million. The repayment of the previously disclosed loan in cash removes a creditor-related overhang. The reporting persons' beneficial ownership now stands at one share (<0.1%), meaning the company lost a holder that previously exceeded the 5% threshold. For investors, this alters the shareholder base and reduces any potential influence those reporting persons could exert.
TL;DR: Reporting persons exited nearly their entire position and repaid a loan; governance influence is materially reduced.
The filing documents a near-complete divestiture by two related reporting persons following corporate actions. The sale of 2,534,490 Class A shares and the reduction to a single share means these entities no longer hold significant voting power or dispositive authority. The cash repayment of the Loan clarifies prior encumbrances. From a governance perspective, removal of a >5% holder can change activist dynamics or reduce concentrated voting blocs, but the filing does not disclose any ongoing agreements that would continue to affect control.
