American Bitcoin, a growing player in the crypto space, is making headlines with its upcoming merger with Gryphon Digital Mining. Backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the company sets its sights on starting trading in early September 2025 under the new ticker symbol ABTC. This strategic move consolidates their position in the digital asset world.

Post-merger, the ownership will be predominantly with Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Hut 8, who will collectively hold 98% of the company. Asher Genoot of Hut 8, which owns 80% of American Bitcoin, will serve as the CEO, steering the company’s vision and growth.

In addition to the Trump family's involvement, high-profile investors such as Gemini's co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have joined the venture, adding significant credibility and expertise to the enterprise.

American Bitcoin's business strategy goes beyond simple trading. It plans to acquire cryptocurrency through both mining and purchasing, and it is considering stakes in non-U.S. companies to gain broader access to publicly listed bitcoin assets globally. This diversified approach positions American Bitcoin to be a substantial player in the long-term cryptocurrency market.

For crypto enthusiasts looking to invest in digital assets with flexibility, platforms like Bitlet.app offer innovative solutions such as the Crypto Installment service, enabling users to buy cryptocurrencies now and pay monthly, thereby making crypto investments more accessible.

Stay tuned for more updates on American Bitcoin's journey as it prepares for its trading debut and navigates the expanding landscape of cryptocurrency investment.
