Alright, let's get this straight. Another day, another crypto scheme with the Trump name slapped on it. American Bitcoin, huh? Sounds about as subtle as a MAGA hat at a Bernie rally.
So, Eric and Don Jr. are involved. Shocker. Eric's apparently the "chief strategy officer." What strategy? Slap the Trump name on it and hope the rubes bite? That’s a strategy I guess. And Don Jr.’s a stockholder? Bet he is.
This whole thing is just…ugh.
They’re bragging about adding 3,000 bitcoin to their reserves since their Nasdaq debut. Okay, good for them. But let's be real, anyone with a semi-decent mining operation could do that. The real question is, at what cost? And who’s really benefiting here?
"While conventional vehicles accumulate bitcoin at spots, we mine at less than half the cost," says CEO Mike Ho. Oh really? Half the cost? Give me a break. What are they not telling us? What kind of shady deals are they cutting to get those margins? Because something ain't adding up.
And then there's the whole "Trump administration's pledge to make the U.S. a global leader in the crypto space" angle. Translation: deregulation and potential conflicts of interest galore. President Trump faced criticism for it? Offcourse he did. Did anyone expect anything different?

The article mentions American Bitcoin swung to a $3.5 million profit in the third quarter. Good for them. But that doesn't change the fact that this whole thing smells like a giant grift. Capitalizing on the crypto craze, riding the Trump name, and probably lining their pockets while they're at it. Trump brothers-backed American Bitcoin swings to profit on margin expansion
And the stock dipped 1.3% as bitcoin slipped? Surprise, surprise. These crypto stocks are tied to the price of the tokens themselves. It's all one big volatile mess.
I mean, come on. A meme coin? World Liberty Financial? This is a circus. A freakin' circus.
Here's what really grinds my gears: the hypocrisy. The Trumps railing against the "establishment" while simultaneously exploiting every loophole and opportunity to enrich themselves. It’s the same song and dance, just with a crypto twist.
Like, are we really supposed to believe this is about "making America a leader in crypto"? Or is it about making the Trumps even richer? I think we all know the answer.
Then again, maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe they really do have the best interests of the American people at heart. Nah, I don’t buy it for a second.
This whole American Bitcoin thing is just another example of the Trump family cashing in on their name and their political connections. It’s grimy, it’s predictable, and it’s probably going to end in tears for someone. Just not them.
