About AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY Co

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT) is a U.S.-based critical battery materials company focused on the lithium-ion supply chain. Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, United States, the company is building an integrated platform around three complementary pillars: exploration of primary battery-metal resources, development and commercialization of extraction technologies for primary resources, and recycling of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. This structure positions ABAT at the intersection of materials, cleantech, and domestic supply-chain security, with direct exposure to lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese.

The company changed its name in 2021 to better align with its current business model, and since then it has concentrated resources in Nevada, where its headquarters and key operating assets are located. Its commercial lithium-ion battery recycling facility is located in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in McCarran, Nevada. According to company disclosures, the facility began commercial operations in October 2023, marking an important step from technology development toward revenue-generating industrial execution. ABAT later reported first revenue in fiscal 2024 and continued growth in production volumes and revenue into fiscal 2025.

First, its recycling business processes lithium-ion batteries sourced from electric vehicles, stationary storage systems, and consumer electronics, with the goal of recovering battery-grade metals and returning them to the domestic manufacturing supply chain in a closed-loop format. Second, ABAT is advancing primary resource development, including the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project in Nevada. In 2025, the company published a technical report and pre-feasibility study for Tonopah Flats and described the project as one of the largest lithium resources in the United States, underscoring the long-duration optionality embedded in its asset base.

Its investment case is centered on proprietary process technology, domestic U.S. industrial footprint, and leverage to structurally expanding end markets such as electric vehicles, grid-scale storage, and consumer electronics. That said, execution risk remains meaningful, as the company is still scaling its recycling operations and advancing permitting, engineering, and commercialization on its mining/refining projects. Recent milestones include the start-up of its Nevada recycling plant, subsequent production and revenue growth, and a 2025 contract to recycle batteries from a major U.S. cleanup effort, which management indicated could generate up to $30 million in proceeds. For international equity investors, ABAT is a thematic NASDAQ-listed United States company tied to the strategic reshoring of battery materials and the buildout of a domestic circular economy.
