American Bitcoin is preparing for its Wall Street debut, and the Trump name is stamped all over it. Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and mining giant Hut 8 (HUT) are set to control roughly 98% of the company once the deal is done. The venture will trade under the ticker ABTC and aims to list on the Nasdaq in early September.

The move comes through a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining (GRYP). Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot says the combination is about scale and access, giving the new company a broader set of financing channels as it pushes to grow in a crowded mining market. For investors, the Trump connection guarantees attention, and plenty of debate.
Trump Turns to Asia to Push Crypto Ambitions
Eric Trump has already been on the road, pitching the American Bitcoin brand across Asia. His stops in Hong Kong and Japan highlight an effort to tap global demand for regulated exposure to Bitcoin, especially in regions where U.S. stock access is limited.
By going public, the Trumps hope to position American Bitcoin as an alternative gateway for investors who want crypto exposure without holding coins directly. This pitch may find traction in markets hungry for U.S.-linked financial products.
Politics and Bitcoin Collide
The listing carries more weight than just another crypto stock. It marks one of the most direct attempts by the Trump family to tie its political brand to digital finance. This crossover is likely to spark both excitement and skepticism as traders weigh whether political influence is an asset or a liability in the volatile crypto space.
For Wall Street, the company’s arrival will test whether a politically charged crypto listing can command serious flows, or whether investors shy away from the added controversy.
What Traders Are Watching
Markets will be focused on whether ABTC trades with enough volume and momentum to make it a major player. High activity would validate the strategy and could encourage more politically branded ventures into crypto. A weak start, on the other hand, would fuel doubts about how far family names can move markets.
The company is also launching into a difficult backdrop. Bitcoin’s volatility, shifting U.S. regulations, and competition from existing miners like Marathon (MARA) and Riot (RIOT) mean execution will matter more than branding. But in the short term, the Trump label alone may be enough to drive speculative flows when trading begins in September.
