Trump Family’s Bitcoin Mining Venture Makes Nasdaq Debut Under Ticker ABTC
American Bitcoin, a mining venture tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, has officially entered Wall Street.
Trading under the ticker ABTC, the company debuts on the Nasdaq after finalizing a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
Aiming to Become a Bitcoin Treasury Powerhouse
The firm already holds about 2,443 BTC, ranking among the top 25 public corporate holders, but its ambitions go much further. Eric Trump has publicly said the goal is to surpass industry leaders like MicroStrategy and establish American Bitcoin as the dominant treasury company in crypto.
Big Backers and Early Funding
To fuel that mission, American Bitcoin raised $220 million earlier this year in both cash and Bitcoin. Notable investors included the Winklevoss twins, while mining firm Hut 8 secured a major equity stake through a previous merger. Those moves gave the company both capital and infrastructure before its public market debut.
The Road Ahead
While the company now steps into the spotlight with the Trump name behind it, competition will be fierce. Rivals like MicroStrategy hold hundreds of thousands of BTC, setting a high bar. Still, the Nasdaq listing marks a bold step in the Trumps’ attempt to build one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries in the world.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
