21 Days Accumulating 500 Bitcoins
According to Eric Trump’s post, American Bitcoin has accumulated over 500 BTC in just the past 21 days. He excitedly states, “More updates coming soon!” and shares a photo of himself celebrating with open arms inside a Bitcoin mining facility, with rows of servers and the U.S. flag in the background.
It is understood that American Bitcoin is a key part of the Trump family’s recent foray into crypto. The company went public on NASDAQ in 2025 through partnerships and acquisitions, including Hut 8. Eric Trump is a co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, while Donald Trump Jr. also holds some shares. American Bitcoin’s strategy emphasizes “increasing Bitcoin holdings” rather than solely expanding hash power, contrasting with some competitors shifting focus to AI computing.
Recently, American Bitcoin also announced the purchase of 11,298 new ASIC miners, aiming to boost its own computing power by approximately 12%, claiming to strengthen the U.S.-based Bitcoin mining infrastructure.
