American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency company co-founded by Eric Trump, revealed plans on Monday to become a publicly traded entity, marking the latest development in the Trump family's expanding ventures within the crypto sector.
Specializing in Bitcoin mining, the firm is preparing to merge with Gryphon Digital Mining Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company. Eric Trump, the middle son of the former president, is recognized as one of the founders and serves on the company’s leadership team.
Founded in late March, American Bitcoin emerged when Eric Trump and his older brother, Donald Trump Jr., teamed up with Hut 8, an established Bitcoin mining operation. Bitcoin mining plays a crucial role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with many public companies operating energy-intensive data centers to validate Bitcoin transactions.
Taking American Bitcoin public may open investment opportunities for traders interested in a Trump family-affiliated enterprise, although the company indicated that current shareholders are expected to retain the vast majority of ownership.
This business represents just one element of a growing portfolio of crypto-related initiatives linked to the Trump family, activities that have drawn concern from ethics experts. Alongside American Bitcoin, President Trump and his sons have launched World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm offering its own digital currency. Separately, they have promoted the $TRUMP memecoin—a novelty cryptocurrency often viewed as more of a collectible investment than a functional currency.
Simultaneously, former President Trump has taken measures to support the cryptocurrency industry at the federal level, reversing prior enforcement policies from the previous administration and endorsing legislation favored by the crypto sector.
In a presentation available on its website, American Bitcoin prominently highlights its connection to the Trump family, featuring a large image of Eric Trump near the beginning. Adjacent to the photograph, the company outlines its vision and positions itself as a leader in the domestic cryptocurrency market, echoing themes consistent with the former president's messaging.
The presentation includes the statement: “Crypto is the future. America must lead the way. American Bitcoin will set the standard.”
Eric Trump is described in the presentation as a “strategic amplifier” who enhances brand value and institutional presence through his extensive network.
