As cryptocurrency markets celebrate Bitcoin’s latest price rebound, some companies tied to the digital asset are finding it difficult to match the momentum. One such case is American Bitcoin Corp., a mining company closely linked to the Trump family, which has experienced a significant drop in stock value despite Bitcoin’s recovery.
Declining Performance for American Bitcoin Corp.
Reportedly, American Bitcoin Corp.’s shares dropped by 37% in the last 24 hours, with prices reaching $2.22. This reflects a staggering 60% decline over the past six months. Despite Bitcoin regaining the $90,000 mark after a sharp dip two weeks earlier, the mining company’s shares continued their downward trend.
Trump Family’s Involvement
American Bitcoin Corp. was formed as a spin-off from Hut 8 Corp. during Donald Trump’s presidency. Hut 8 provided the majority of mining infrastructure, retaining an 80% stake, while the remaining 20% became controlled by Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. The poor performance of this mining venture directly impacts the Trump family’s financial interests, highlighting significant challenges within the crypto-mining space.
