根據《華爾街日報》的一份報告，特朗普家族正在加深其參與加密貨幣的參與。

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are merging their firm, American Data Centers, with a new mining venture called American Bitcoin, taking a 20% stake in the company. The remaining 80% will be owned by Hut 8 (TSX: HUT), a publicly traded crypto infrastructure firm, which is contributing nearly 61,000 mining machines to the new entity.

According to the report, no cash changed hands in the deal.
