American Bitcoin has also introduced a new reporting metric, Satoshis Per Share (SPS), which measures the amount of Bitcoin indirectly owned by each shareholder through their stock holdings.
This comes after the firm previously announced plans to raise up to $2.1 billion in Class A shares, with funds allocated toward Bitcoin purchases, ASIC equipment, and general corporate growth.

Market analysts suggest these transfers are part of routine liquidity adjustments or ETF-related rebalancing. However, some believe that it could also be a sign of a major sell-off as the cryptocurrency started the week with a green candle.
At press time, Bitcoin is trading around $115,000, up 1.4% in the past 24 hours. The largest cryptocurrency’s daily trading volume doubled on October 27.
Bitcoin’s price has maintained upward momentum since October 23, climbing beyond $112,000-$113,000 resistance zone. This breakout pushed the cryptocurrency above three key on-chain cost bases, indicating renewed market confidence.
Data from CryptoQuant shows nearly 7 million BTC have returned to profit, including 5.1 million BTC held by investors within six months.
Analysts say that as short-term holders regain profitability, they tend to hold longer and increase positions. This is a classic sign of rising bullish conviction.

However, popular analyst Ali Martinez noted on X that the TD sequential indicator is flashing a “sell” signal for BTC. He believes that BTC could soon face profit-taking pressure from short-term holders.
