Gryphon stock rose 200% after merging with Trump-backed American Bitcoin, which is set to debut on Nasdaq with the ticker 'ABTC' by Q3 2025.
Hut 8 will retain majority ownership in American Bitcoin post-merger, with the company's leadership including Eric Trump.
American Bitcoin specializes in Bitcoin mining operations and aims to follow a strategic Bitcoin accumulation plan akin to MicroStrategy.
The merger of American Bitcoin and Gryphon has political and industry implications, with the Trump family's increased interest in cryptocurrency drawing both interest and criticism.
