‘The stacking continues,’ says unfazed Eric Trump despite $600M Bitcoin venture wipeout
Eric Trump's stake in American Bitcoin Corp. has been devalued by approximately $600 million as the company's stock (ABTC) plummeted 97% from a peak of $217 to a record low of $5.98. To avoid delisting from Nasdaq, the firm executed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split. Despite the severe stock downturn and broader crypto market volatility, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings from 7,500 to 8,000 BTC. Eric Trump, who owns about 6% of the firm and serves as its Chief Strategy Officer, downplayed the losses, attributing them to market volatility and reiterating a commitment to "stacking" more Bitcoin. This occurs amidst a wider easing of corporate treasury demand for Bitcoin, following significant sales by other major holders like Strategy.
