In an interview with Yahoo Finance, he said that developing countries often use cryptocurrencies to access the latest financial tools. He also said that some governments are using surplus energy to mine Bitcoin and include it in their national reserves. President Trump added that Fortune 500 companies and sovereign wealth funds are accumulating Bitcoin, and adoption is growing across Asia and the Middle East.
Trump Crypto Holdings and America’s Bitcoin Mining Strategy
Eric Trump co-founded American Bitcoin with Asher Gnat to build a cryptocurrency mining operation in the United States. He said the company is focused on acquiring Bitcoin and providing a low-cost mining solution that takes advantage of surplus energy in West Texas.
President Trump described Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and financial system risks and emphasized its liquidity and global accessibility. He also said that blockchain technology can address the weaponization of the banking system.
Gnat said the company is developing data centers to support artificial intelligence applications, and acknowledged the AI market bubble argument, but said the field is still in its early stages of development.
Bloomberg report on Trump family crypto assets
Bloomberg reports that the Trump family has amassed about $1.3 billion in crypto-related assets within a year of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, roughly one-fifth of the family’s net worth. Although Trump Media and Technology Group’s profits have declined, the family’s total net worth remains near $6.8 billion, the report said.
They also reported that the family has generated over $1 billion in realized revenue from crypto projects, including DeFi initiatives and the official meme coin. The family still holds around $3.8 billion worth of founder tokens, but Bloomberg excluded these assets from its net worth calculation because they remain locked up.
