Eric Trump said American Bitcoin wants to win a fast-moving contest in crypto. He described two races: one for the biggest Bitcoin treasury and another for the lowest-cost accumulation.
He spoke in an interview with David Lin published on May 12. Trump praised Strategy chairman Michael Saylor and called him a visionary in Bitcoin accumulation. Yet he said American Bitcoin wants a different edge. The company, he said, aims to acquire Bitcoin more cheaply while growing its treasury without selling mined coins.
Trump said American Bitcoin’s main goal is simple. The business wants to grow its Bitcoin stack and keep adding to it. He said selling would require something 'beyond catastrophic.' He also said the firm’s north star is growing 'Satoshi’s per share,' not moving coins into the market.
Trump also referenced Saylor’s recent suggestion that Strategy could sell some Bitcoin to help fund dividends. Even so, he made clear that American Bitcoin will follow a stricter accumulation model.
The firm's plan centers on holding Bitcoin through market swings. Trump shared the firm believes in Bitcoin and would need a severe shock before changing course.
Trump explained that American Bitcoin has an operational advantage. He claimed the company can mine Bitcoin at roughly '50 cents on the dollar' with low-cost energy and lean operations.
He also said the firm controls more than 90,000 mining machines. According to him, that gives American Bitcoin about 2.5% to 3% of global mining capacity. Trump added that the business already holds more than 7,000 BTC. He said the firm is only eight months old, yet it already operates at a notable scale.
He also pointed to broader institutional adoption. In his view, Bitcoin ETFs have become one of the most successful financial product launches in recent history. He noted the market has become more stable as long-term investors replace short-term traders. He also said banks, institutions, and corporations now compete more aggressively for Bitcoin supply.

American Bitcoin, founded by Eric Trump as a Bitcoin mining and treasury management company, has also expanded its mining footprint across North America. The firm continues to add ASIC machines and raise capital for both mining and reserves.
Trump’s long-term outlook stays sharply bullish. At Bitcoin 2026, he said Bitcoin could eventually reach $1 million per coin. He linked that view to rising institutional demand and growing government interest in Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Eric Trump said American Bitcoin plans to expand its Bitcoin reserves through low-cost mining and long-term holding. The company already controls major mining capacity and holds over 7,000 BTC. Rising institutional demand and growing treasury strategies continue pushing Bitcoin deeper into mainstream finance.
