American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC), backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump<\/a>, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Sept. 3<\/a> seeking to raise $2.1 billion through share sales.<\/p>\n

The filing follows a volatile Nasdaq<\/a> debut that saw ABTC stock surge 91% in one hour before crashing lower than the opening price by closing.<\/p>\n

ABTC opened at $6.90 and climbed to $13.20, prompting five trading halts<\/a> in the initial hours. However, the share price failed to sustain the momentum and fell back to its opening price before mounting a recovery at the end of the trading session.<\/p>\n

As of press time, the stock was showing signs of upward momentum after hours and was trading at $8.06, up roughly 16% for the day.<\/p>\n

American Bitcoin emerged from a stock-for-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining, creating a publicly traded Bitcoin<\/a> accumulation platform under the ticker ABTC.<\/p>\n

The transaction completed earlier this year<\/a> positions American Bitcoin as the parent company, with former American Bitcoin shareholders owning approximately 98% of the combined entity.<\/p>\n

Trump family mining venture<\/h2>\n

American Bitcoin launched in March as a majority-owned subsidiary of energy company Hut 8<\/a>, which maintains an 80% ownership stake.<\/p>\n

The Trump brothers hold minority interests in the remaining 20% alongside other founding partners, though exact ownership breakdowns remain undisclosed.\u00a0Eric Trump serves as chief strategy officer while Matt Prusak, who previously sold COVID tests, leads the company as CEO.<\/p>\n

Prusak positioned the merger as an opportunity to create a dominant player in the fragmented Bitcoin mining sector.\u00a0The company operates an asset-light model through a strategic partnership with Hut 8, leveraging existing infrastructure for Bitcoin accumulation rather than building mining facilities from scratch.<\/p>\n

Gryphon contributes operational mining assets, including 899 petahash per second of self-mining hash rate as of the second quarter 2024. The company focuses on renewable and low-cost energy sources, including the recent acquisition of natural gas assets in Canada.<\/p>\n

Sector consolidation<\/h2>\n

The merger reflects broader consolidation trends in US Bitcoin mining following last year's halving event, which reduced mining rewards and increased economic pressure on operators.<\/p>\n

Companies seek greater scale and operational efficiency through mergers and acquisitions to remain competitive in the challenging post-halving environment.<\/p>\n

The SEC filing advances the Trump family's expanding crypto ventures, combining Gryphon's mining operations with American Bitcoin's capital market access and strategic vision for institutional-scale Bitcoin accumulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
