]]> A massive capital raise from a politically connected crypto company is shaking up the digital asset space. Backed by ties to the Trump family, American Bitcoin has taken a giant step toward dominating the Bitcoin mining sector while bolstering its digital reserves.

The company, majority-owned by Hut 8, confirmed raising $220 million through a private placement of 11 million shares. Most notably, $10 million worth of shares were bought with Bitcoin, signaling a high-stakes bet on the future of digital assets.

Bitcoin-Funded Investment Draws Attention

The Form 8-K filing with the SEC reveals a significant shift in how capital is raised in the crypto world. American Bitcoin accepted Bitcoin instead of fiat for part of the raise, with an average acquisition price of $104,000 per coin.

As of June 10, the company held 215 Bitcoin in its treasury — a figure likely to rise after this funding round. The strategic choice to hold Bitcoin rather than sell signals long-term confidence in the asset.

Hut 8 Expands Global Presence With Dubai Office

Meanwhile, parent company Hut 8 is expanding internationally. Bloomberg reports that a new office has been opened in Dubai under the name Hut 8 Investment Ltd., aimed at cryptocurrency trading and digital asset accumulation.

CEO Asher Genoot stated that the Dubai expansion would enhance capital strategy precision and execution. Importantly, Hut 8 clarified that the Dubai office operates independently from American Bitcoin.

The move reflects the United Arab Emirates’ growing appeal as a hub for crypto startups, thanks to favorable regulations and tax structures.

Going Public via Nasdaq: A Major Milestone

American Bitcoin also announced plans to go public by merging with Gryphon Digital Mining, a company listed on Nasdaq. The stock-for-stock merger will retain the American Bitcoin name and see Eric Trump take a seat on the board.

Post-merger, current American Bitcoin shareholders will own 98% of the new entity, while Hut 8 continues to oversee operations — cementing its position as a leading force in the global Bitcoin mining sector.
