The Trump family is officially diving into the Bitcoin (BTC) mining sector! In partnership with Hut 8 (HUT), a company listed on the Nasdaq, they launched American Bitcoin Corp., a new venture focused on cryptocurrency extraction in the United States, according to Info Money.
Eric Trump, the son of the former US president, was appointed chief strategy officer of the company, taking on a key role in guiding the business.

Trump and His Change in View on Cryptocurrencies
Donald Trump has previously shown skepticism towards digital assets. However, with the growth of the sector and its impact on politics and the economy, he has adopted a more favorable tone towards cryptocurrencies.

Details of the New Venture
Hut 8 acquired American Data Centers Inc., a company formed by investors, including Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.. After the acquisition, the company was renamed American Bitcoin Corp.
80% of the company now belongs to Hut 8.
The company aims to expand its mining infrastructure and strengthen the US presence in the crypto sector.
The announcement came after a meeting between Trump and industry executives, reinforcing his intention to consolidate Bitcoin mining in the country.
Market Impact and Challenges
With the appreciation of Bitcoin last year, Hut 8 saw its revenue grow 70%, reaching US$ 162 million. However, projections indicate a revenue decline in the first quarter, with analysts predicting losses.
Hut 8’s shares rose 4.3% after the partnership announcement, but still have accumulated a 40% drop this year. Currently, less than 50% of the global Bitcoin mining computing power comes from the US. The new investment could change this scenario, consolidating the country as a crypto mining hub.
