American Bitcoin and Gryphon Unite Under One Roof

Following the merger announcement, Gryphon’s stock skyrocketed. The share price jumped from $0.52 on May 9 to $2.15 by May 12—an increase of over 313%.

IPO Strategy Highlights Independence and Expansion

American Bitcoin is majority-owned by energy and data center company Hut 8. According to CEO Asher Genoot, taking the company public is a strategic move to boost Bitcoin accumulation capacity while securing growth capital independently of Hut 8’s balance sheet. The company also aims to generate stable revenue through long-term infrastructure agreements.

After the merger, about 98% of the new company will be owned by existing American Bitcoin shareholders—indicating strong control from Trump-backed investors.

At The Crossroads Of Finance And Politics

Founded in late March with support from Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, American Bitcoin acquired Hut 8’s mining hardware and aims to become the world’s largest and most efficient pure-play Bitcoin miner. By building strategic reserves, the company seeks a dominant position in the crypto market—not just economically, but politically.
