American Bitcoin, a subsidiary of Hut 8 Mining, secures $220 million in a private stock sale to expand its Bitcoin mining operations and strengthen its BTC holdings.
Backed by the Trump family, including Eric Trump, the company plans to go public by merging with Gryphon Digital Mining and trading as ABTC on Nasdaq.
The involvement of Wall Street investors in crypto-linked public companies like Coinbase, Circle, and Robinhood signals a significant shift towards investing in cryptocurrencies and mining platforms.
Besides Bitcoin mining, the Trump family is actively involved in crypto, managing assets worth over $180 million in Ethereum through their World Liberty Financial DeFi platform.
