Eric Trump, co-founder of American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ:ABTC), gave a virtual tour of the company’s Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) mining facility in Texas on Monday,
In a video posted on X, Trump showed around the facility, which uses “American energy” on “American soil” to mine the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
“Every single day we mine about 2% of the world’s bitcoin supply,” Trump stated. “We safeguard it every single day.”
He also drew attention to the 35,000 servers powering the facility, claiming that all of them were liquid-cooled.
Trump referred to the facility as “living proof” of the tangible nature of cryptocurrency, countering the common perception of it being intangible.

However, many users were confused about the 2% supply claim. An X user suggested that Trump meant 2% of the daily mined supply.
Roughly 450 BTC are mined each day, so 2% of that would be 9 BTC daily.
American Bitcoin, a majority-owned subsidiary of Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT), functions as a hybrid Bitcoin miner and treasury company.
The company is building its own strategic Bitcoin reserve and currently holds 4,004 BTC, worth $352 million, according to Bitcointreasuries.net. However, unlike other companies, it also generates new BTC through in-house mining.
The sneak peek comes in the wake of Trump’s bullish stance on Bitcoin. Last week, he encouraged investors to buy Bitcoin during the current market dip and reiterated his $1 million prediction for the apex cryptocurrency.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $88,195.21, up 0.84% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
