American Battery Technology Company Securities Fraud Investigation

April 13, 2026

Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is investigating claims on behalf of investors of American Battery Technology Company ("American Battery Technology" or the "Company") (ABAT). Impacted investors are advised to contact the firm now.

The law firm is investigating whether American Battery Technology and certain of its officers and/or directors made materially false statements or omissions in connection with 2025 funding updates, project timelines, and related risk disclosures. The investigation includes examining public disclosures tied to a $57.7 million U.S. Department of Energy grant for a planned lithium hydroxide project and other funding communications.

On April 29, 2025, American Battery Technology announced a letter of interest from the U.S. Export-Import Bank for up to $900 million to support its Nevada mine and refinery. On September 18, 2025, the Company reported operational progress and discussed commercialization tied to its lithium projects. Further, on October 13, 2025, the Company announced completion of NEPA baseline studies for the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project and referenced a pre-feasibility plan describing about 30,000 tons per year of lithium hydroxide output.

However, a few days later, on October 15, 2025, American Battery Technology filed a Form 8-K stating that the Department of Energy had notified the company on October 9, 2025 that the $57.7 million cost-share grant was terminated effective August 31, 2025.

On this news, American Battery Technology’s stock declined approximately 57%, falling from $11.41 on October 15, 2025, to a $4.85 on October 17, 2025.
