Gryphon Digital Mining's merger with American Bitcoin Corp, backed by Trump sons and Hut8, has driven GRYP stock up over 200%. As the vote approaches, the article analyzes ABTC's background, deal mechanics, and whether to add positions before closing.

American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC), a newly formed private Bitcoin mining company backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., disclosed in a June 10 SEC filing that it had accumulated 215 BTC since launching operations on April 1, 2025. At the time of the filing, that reserve was worth roughly $23 million, highlighting that Bitcoin treasury growth is central to the company’s business model rather than a byproduct of mining. In the same disclosure, ABTC said it had entered into a merger agreement with Gryphon Digital Mining ($GRYP), with the combined company expected to begin public trading under the ticker $ABTC as early as Q3 2025. The filing also laid out a three-layer strategy: building an efficient mining engine with more than 60,000 Bitmain and MicroBt miners, scaling Bitcoin reserves through public markets and strategic financing, and eventually using its operating scale to support broader Bitcoin ecosystem adoption. Operationally, ABTC relies on Foundry and Luxor mining pools with sub-1% fees, uses Coinbase Custody for cold storage with multi-factor authentication and strict withdrawal procedures, and runs across sites in Niagara Falls, New York; Medicine Hat, Alberta; and Orla, Texas, largely through infrastructure managed by Hut 8.
