In an exciting move for the cryptocurrency industry, American Bitcoin Corp. has announced its plans to go public this week, with support from Hut 8 Corp and a group of private investors. Among the investors backing the venture are Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the sons of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The launch follows Hut 8’s recent interest in American Data Centers Inc., a company formed by a consortium of investors, including the Trump brothers. Hut 8, one of the largest publicly listed crypto-mining companies, has reportedly transferred its Bitcoin mining equipment to the new entity, American Bitcoin. This strategic move signifies a clear shift, with Hut 8 focusing on data centers, while the new firm will operate as a Bitcoin mining company.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Asher Genoot, a key figure in the venture, explained the vision: “You can see this as two sister publicly traded companies. One focuses on energy and infrastructure data centers, while the other is dedicated to Bitcoin, AISCs, and reserves. Together, they form a company with some of the best economics out there.”
The Bitcoin mining industry has experienced significant volatility since 2024, with rising competition from new miners and fluctuating Bitcoin prices. Despite these challenges, public miners have reaped the benefits of a surge in Bitcoin prices during this period.
Eric Trump expressed his enthusiasm about the venture, saying, “We are going to become the greatest Bitcoin mining company on earth, and we are doing it here in America.” The move indicates that newer entities may also seek private investments before making their public debut, a strategy hinted at by Genoot.
With the backing of high-profile investors and a strategic focus on the American market, American Bitcoin aims to make a significant impact in the cryptocurrency space.
