Eric Trump, the second son of Trump, responded to Forbes' criticism of his significant arbitrage through the Bitcoin business, which harms MAGA investors. Eric stated that Forbes has become a disgrace in the journalism industry. Just over a year ago, his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin (ABTC) did not exist. 7 months and 25 days ago, ABTC was listed on Nasdaq, and today it holds over 7,000 Bitcoins, becoming the 16th largest publicly traded Bitcoin company in the world, backed by a massive cluster of nearly 90,000 mining machines and a computing power of 28 EH/s, using the highest quality energy in the United States.In just the fourth quarter, the Bitcoin on the balance sheet increased by 58%, with mining costs 53% lower than the market price of Bitcoin, and fourth-quarter revenue reached $78.3 million, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 22%. American Bitcoin can be said to be the company that has entered the "top 100" ranking in this field at the fastest speed, and it is actively expanding its mining scale every day. This narrative is strikingly similar to Forbes' rhetoric from years ago.According to previous reports from ChainCatcher, Forbes published an article criticizing Eric Trump's Bitcoin business as a disaster, pointing out that Eric Trump promotes his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin (ABTC) as a money printer, but in reality, it is just an arbitrage tool specifically designed to exploit those investors who support MAGA (Make America Great Again).
