Trump’s Bitcoin Empire: 28.1 EH/s of Pure Hashy Goodness!

by

Well, butter my biscuit and call me a miner-American Bitcoin, the brainchild of Eric and Donald Trump Jr. (yes, those Trumps), has just flicked the switch on 11,298 new ASICs. That’s right, folks, their hash rate is now a whopping 28.1 EH/s. Apparently, they’re doubling down on hoarding BTC like it’s the last roll of toilet paper in a pandemic. Who knew the Trump family had a soft spot for digital gold?

  • American Bitcoin, the Trump-backed miner (because why not?), has juiced up 11,298 new ASIC machines, bumping their hash rate to a respectable 28.1 EH/s. Impressive, if you’re into that sort of thing.
  • This expansion means their fleet now boasts roughly 89,242 miners, a 12% boost in capacity. That’s 3.05 EH/s at 13.5 J/TH-enough to make even the most seasoned miner raise an eyebrow.
  • Currently, 58,999 miners are humming away, churning out 25.0 EH/s at 14.1 J/TH. All this to keep their BTC stash growing at a cost so low, it’d make a thrift store blush.

American Bitcoin Corp., the publicly listed venture co-founded by the Trump brothers (yes, they’re still at it), has deployed around 11,298 shiny new ASIC miners. This pushes their total hash rate to 28.1 exahashes per second-a number so big, it’s practically absurd. In a press release that smelled faintly of cologne and ambition, they claimed the new machines would “add ~3.05 EH/s at ~13.5 J/TH,” bringing their fleet to ~28.1 EH/s with an average efficiency of ~16.0 J/TH across 89,242 miners. Because nothing says ‘Murica like overachieving in Bitcoin mining.

After firing up these rigs at their Drumheller site in Alberta (Canada, eh?), American Bitcoin reports that 58,999 miners are online, delivering 25.0 EH/s with an efficiency of 14.1 joules per terahash. The full fleet, including the yet-to-be-deployed units, sits at 28.1 EH/s. Because why stop at world domination when you can aim for galactic?

The company calls this a “Bitcoin accumulator” strategy-basically, mining BTC at a cost 53% below the spot price. Eric Trump, the firm’s chief strategy officer (and part-time political pundit), insists this is all about “protecting the network, driving innovation, and leading the future of Bitcoin in America.” Or, you know, just making a lot of money. Potato, potahto.

Industry data suggests they’re not quite the big fish yet, swimming in the 50 EH/s pond with the likes of other public miners. But hey, rivals are busy chasing AI and high-performance computing, so maybe there’s room for the Trumps to hash their way to the top. Finviz notes they’re “roughly half the size of industry leaders,” but who’s counting?

For the markets, the message is clear: the Trump family isn’t slowing down post-halving. With 28.1 EH/s of owned capacity, efficient hardware, and a focus on hoarding BTC, they’re betting that cheap, US-based hash power will be the real winner in Bitcoin’s next act. Because nothing says ‘future’ like a Trump-branded ASIC farm.
