American Bitcoin Corp. lands on Fortune's inaugural Crypto 100 list

American Bitcoin Corp. has been named to Fortune magazine's inaugural Crypto 100 list, a ranking that places the company among the most influential organizations shaping the digital asset ecosystem.

The list, published June 11, replaces Fortune's earlier "Crypto 40" and spans 10 categories including centralized finance, decentralized finance, venture capital, mining, stablecoins, and digital asset trading. Fortune's editorial team compiled the ranking using a survey of more than 200 crypto professionals alongside financial and technical analysis from Inca Digital, evaluating on-chain activity, security infrastructure, compliance track records, and global media footprint.

"ABTC's inclusion reflects the growing recognition that strategic Bitcoin reserves are becoming a legitimate component of corporate finance," said a person familiar with the ranking methodology. "Fortune's editorial team weighted on-chain transparency and institutional-grade custody as key criteria."

The list's top spots across other categories include Binance in centralized finance, Franklin Templeton in traditional finance, Tether in stablecoins, and BlackRock in digital asset treasuries and ETFs — the latter managing the iShares Bitcoin Trust, the largest Bitcoin fund by assets under management with a 0.25 percent expense ratio. Bitcoin itself ranked first in the blockchains and protocols category.

ABTC's placement on the Fortune Crypto 100 comes as corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies gain traction among publicly traded companies. The recognition by a mainstream business publication could encourage more firms to allocate balance sheet capital to Bitcoin, following the template set by MicroStrategy and adopted by a growing number of corporations. The iShares Bitcoin Trust, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust — each with expense ratios between 0.15 percent and 0.25 percent — have already lowered the barrier for institutional Bitcoin exposure through traditional brokerage accounts.

What the Fortune ranking means for corporate Bitcoin adoption

The Fortune Crypto 100 list evaluated more than 3,000 companies across 10 categories, with scores determined by a combination of on-chain activity, security infrastructure, compliance track record, and global media footprint. Organizations that qualified for multiple categories were placed where they ranked highest.

For ABTC, the listing signals that its Bitcoin treasury strategy has met institutional standards for transparency and custody — criteria that Fortune's editorial team weighted heavily. The ranking also places ABTC alongside established financial giants like BlackRock and Fidelity, which have各自的 Bitcoin ETF offerings, and Binance, which serves more than 320 million registered users across over 100 countries and processed $34 trillion in trading volume in 2025 alone.

The road ahead for Bitcoin-focused corporate treasuries

The inclusion of a dedicated Bitcoin treasury company on a mainstream business ranking underscores a structural shift in how corporate finance teams view digital assets. With Bitcoin ETFs now offering regulated exposure through vehicles like the iShares Bitcoin Trust and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, and with the Fortune Crypto 100 providing a benchmark for institutional credibility, the corporate Bitcoin treasury model has moved from experimental to established.

The key question for the next phase is whether the recognition translates into broader adoption. If other publicly traded companies follow ABTC's model, the demand for Bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset could accelerate, potentially tightening supply on exchanges and supporting price appreciation. The Fortune ranking provides a reputational signal that may reduce the perceived risk for corporate treasurers considering Bitcoin allocation.
