A director of Trump family-backed American Bitcoin spent $1.93 million increasing his holdings in the company’s stock.

1 hours ago

Justin Mateen, a director at American Bitcoin (ABTC) — a Bitcoin mining firm backed by the Trump family and co-founder of Tinder — purchased the company’s stock over two consecutive days after it released its quarterly earnings, investing a total of roughly $1.93 million. Regulatory filings show Mateen bought approximately 145,000 Class A common shares of ABTC on August 5 for about $925,000 at an average price of $6.40 per share; he added another ~162,000 shares on August 6, worth ~$1 million at an average of $6.19 per share. The two transactions totaled 306,981 shares, lifting Mateen’s total ABTC holdings to 492,297 shares. American Bitcoin, a Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining and BTC reserve company backed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s family members including Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., adopts a strategy of "large-scale mining + corporate treasury Bitcoin holdings" to provide investors with exposure to Bitcoin. Its Q2 earnings report showed a net loss of around $57 million, though its mining scale and Bitcoin reserves continued to grow in the same period. The firm’s quarterly BTC production hit a record high of roughly 932 coins, while its treasury holdings rose to over 8,000 BTC. Market observers view the director’s large share purchases as a sign of confidence in the company’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy, though its profitability and mining operational efficiency remain key focuses for investors.

The United States has sanctioned two Iranian cryptocurrency trading platforms, accusing them of assisting in evading sanctions.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced sanctions against two Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges, Shelbit and Aban Tether, expanding the Trump administration’s "Economic Fury" campaign targeting Iran’s financial networks. The Treasury accuses the two platforms of being used for large-scale crypto asset transfers, evading U.S. sanctions, and supporting Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other entities designated by the U.S. as terrorist organizations. OFAC also sanctioned Shelbit operator Siavash Kayvanpour and multiple companies he controls in Georgia, Poland, and the United Arab Emirates. The Treasury noted that IRGC-linked wallets sent over $1 million in crypto assets to Shelbit and received more than $2 million from the exchange. Additionally, wallets linked to Kayvanpour are alleged to have transferred more than $2 million to Nobitex, Iran’s largest crypto exchange. The Treasury said Shelbit also serviced a network of over 2,000 gambling websites suspected of laundering tens of millions of dollars via crypto assets. Ahead of the sanctions, Reuters reported an investigation finding Shelbit processed at least $4 billion in transactions over the past two years, involving Iran’s gambling network, the Central Bank of Iran, and IRGC-linked entities. Data shows Shelbit-linked wallets transferred at least $676 million to Binance, with roughly $540 million of that amount coming after the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) penalized Shelbit for operating without a license. In addition, OFAC also sanctioned Iranian exchange Aban Tether, alleging it processed millions of dollars in transactions involving Nobitex and previously sanctioned platforms including Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex.
