Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value of stock-based compensation, valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to impairment testing, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025.
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash As of June 30, 2025, the Company was subject to a minimum liquidity requirement of $5,000,000 in accordance with the terms of its loan agreement (See Note 11). This required minimum liquidity was required to be maintained in cash or cash equivalents at all times. Accordingly, $5,000,000 of the Company’s cash balance was classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, as it was not available for general operating purposes. As of July 29, 2025, the restrictions were lifted, and the funds became available for general use. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $0.8 million classified as restricted cash. These funds are restricted under letters of credit issued for surety bond collateral and a vendor agreement for supply of feedstock. Restricted cash is not available for general corporate purposes until the underlying obligations are satisfied, or the letters of credit are released.

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue upon satisfying its promises to transfer goods or services to customers under the terms of its contracts. These promises, referred to as performance obligations, consist of the transfer of physical goods, including recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals and black mass to customers. These performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time that the Company transfers control of the goods to the customer, which occurs when title to and risk of loss of the goods transfer to the customer. The timing of transfer of title and risk of loss is dictated by customary or explicitly stated contract terms. The majority of the Company’s sales involve transfer of control to the customer, and thus revenue recognition, before delivery to the customer’s destination; for example, upon release of the goods to the shipper. The Company’s bill-and-hold arrangement involve transfer of control to the customer when the goods have been segregated from other inventory at the Company’s facility and are ready for physical transfer to the customer. Shipping and handling activities that occur after a customer has obtained control of a good are accounted for as fulfillment costs rather than an additional promise in a contract. As such, shipping and handling consideration (freight revenue) is recognized when control of the goods transfers to the customer, and freight expense is accrued to cost of goods sold when the related revenue is recognized. The Company recognizes revenue based on contractually stated selling prices and quantities shipped, net of sales tax, and adjusted for estimated claims and discounts. Claims are customary in the recycled metal industry and arise from variances in the quantity or quality of delivered products. Revenue adjustments may be required if the settlement of claims exceeds original estimates. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, revenue adjustments related to performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods were not material.
Cost of Goods Sold | Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the recycled products and byproducts delivered to our customers during the three months ended September 30, 2025. It includes direct and indirect materials, labor costs, manufacturing overhead, including depreciation costs, lower of cost or net realizable value charges, and shipping and logistics costs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is an exit price concept that assumes an orderly transaction between willing market participants and is required to be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Current accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy as a basis for considering such assumptions and for classifying the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair values are as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity can assess at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which include the Company’s assumptions regarding the data market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The carrying values of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, grants receivable, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s fair value measurements included the valuation of the derivative liabilities for the bifurcated notes payable freestanding call and conversion options and for the liability-classified equity-linked contracts, both of which are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2024, the Company reclassified derivative liabilities and liability-classified equity-linked contracts from long-term liabilities to equity. No derivative instruments were issued during the three months ended September 30, 2025; accordingly, fair value measurement was not required. See Notes 13 for further discussion. AMERICAN BATTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) The Company’s fair value measurements include the valuation of the assets held-for-sale as of September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025. See Note 7 for relevant fair value disclosures.
Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company continually assesses new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a review to determine the consequences of the change to its condensed consolidated financial statements and assures there are sufficient controls in place to ascertain the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which updates income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is in the process of determining the effect this ASU will have on the disclosures contained in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB Issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The amendments in this update require disclosures, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendment clarifies which certain costs and expenses that are included in cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expense categories that should be disclosed with qualitative descriptions of amounts that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, the amendment requires disclosure of total amounts of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expense. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date previously communicated. The revised effective date for public business entities is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect this ASU will have on the disclosures contained in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
