Well, darling, it appears that American Bitcoinâbacked by none other than Donald Trumpâs illustrious boys, Eric and Don Jr.âhas been snooping around the crypto vaults and accumulating a rather fetching stash of 215 BTC since its debut on April 1. No fooling! đ°
This charming ventureâofficially titled ABTCâis positioning itself not merely as another mining operation but as a long-term hoarder of Bitcoin (BTC). Published happily in a June 6 SEC filing, they seem quite proud of their secret treasure trove, which now whispers worth over $23 million. Shh, donât tell the boys next door! âABTC considers its reserve a core strategic asset,â they said brightly, âmanaged adaptivelyââwhatever that meansâprobably to keep Uncle Sam happy and their coffers chubbier. đ€
Whatâs quite delightful, truly, is their approach. No fixed BTC target, mind you. Their strategy is as flexible as a contortionist at a soirĂ©eâassessing market trends and expanding as they see fit. Bitcoin isnât just a sideline, my dear, it *is* the business. Long-term ownership, not just a flirtation. Who knew? đ
And what of their endeavors? Well, push the champagne! ABTC invests directly in mining rather than buying fancy real estate for their digital gold. Over 60,000 minersâmainly Bitmain and MicroBTâare working tirelessly across facilities in New York, Alberta, and Texas. These little beasts boast a combined hashrate of 10.17 exahashes per second, with efficiency so high it would make a Prius blush. Their partnerships with Hut 8 keep costs down while they play the global game of crypto Monopoly. Monopoly, but with more âminingâ and less âreading the instructions.â đŒ
Their miners contribute to pools like Foundry and Luxor, where rewards are doled out based on contributionâsweet as pie, with fees below 1%. Their three-tiered master plan involves building a lean, mean mining machine, growing their Bitcoin treasure (or âreserve,â for the financers), and rubbing elbows with Bitcoinâs big players. Oh, they trust Coinbase Custody to give their Bitcoin the Fort Knox treatmentâmultifactor authentication and whitelisted withdrawals, just to keep the kiddies out. Security first, darling!
American Bitcoin to go public via Gryphon merge
In a move thatâs as predictable as a London fog, American Bitcoin announced on May 12 that it plans to go publicâvia a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. The transaction will be a stock-for-stock affair, with the merged entity proudly bearing the American Bitcoin name. đșđž
Eric Trump, in all his glory, will sit on the board, and Hut 8 will continue to call the shotsâbecause nothing says stability like a family affair with a dash of corporate intrigue. Post-merger, existing American Bitcoin shareholders will hold about 98%âbecause who needs diversity when you have a Trump-backed Bitcoin empire? Hut 8 will keep managing the infrastructure, making their dollar stretch as far as a rich uncleâs holiday fund. đŒđž
