Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin Miners, Trump Ties, and a Nasdaq Gamble: ABTC's Bold Bet
- Gryphon shareholders approved a $1.2B merger with Trump-linked American Bitcoin, creating ABTC for Nasdaq listing. - The reverse merger combines Gryphon's 130,000+ Bitcoin miners with American Bitcoin's SPAC structure to bypass traditional IPO. - ABTC aims to leverage Gryphon's low-cost energy agreements and expand mining capacity by 50,000 machines in 18 months. - Analysts highlight institutional Bitcoin interest potential, but success depends on U.S. regulatory clarity and market conditions.
Gryphon Digital Technologies Inc. shareholders have approved a merger with American Bitcoin Corp., a publicly traded shell company with ties to former U.S. President Donald Trump. The approval clears the way for the combined entity, which will operate under the ticker symbol ABTC, to potentially debut on the Nasdaq in the coming months.
The transaction, valued at approximately $1.2 billion, has been structured as a reverse merger, allowing Gryphon to bypass the lengthy and costly traditional IPO process. Gryphon, which operates in the U.S. and Canada, currently manages a portfolio of over 130,000 Bitcoin mining machines with a combined hashrate of more than 3.2 exahashes per second. The company has also secured long-term low-cost power agreements in several regions, including Texas and British Columbia, which are expected to provide a competitive advantage in an increasingly energy-sensitive industry.
American Bitcoin, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) previously linked to Trump’s legal and business advisory networks, has been in the process of identifying a target since its initial public offering in 2023. The company announced its intention to merge with Gryphon in early 2025, following months of due diligence and negotiations. With the shareholder vote now passed, the merger is expected to be finalized by the end of the third quarter of 2025.
Analysts have highlighted the potential for ABTC to benefit from a growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, particularly in the U.S. market. The combined entity is expected to maintain Gryphon’s strong operational performance while providing greater transparency and regulatory compliance to align with public market expectations. Gryphon has also indicated plans to expand its mining capacity by an additional 50,000 machines in the next 18 months, with a significant portion of the investment coming from the merger’s capital raise.
Investor sentiment appears cautiously optimistic, as reflected in American Bitcoin’s stock price surge following the merger announcement. However, the listing’s success will depend on broader market conditions and regulatory clarity in the U.S. Bitcoin mining sector. Gryphon has emphasized its commitment to sustainable operations and environmental best practices, including the use of renewable energy sources in its mining facilities. These factors are expected to play a role in attracting both institutional and retail investors to the ABTC ticker.
