American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency firm backed by the Trump family, plans to go public.

由特朗普家族支持的加密貨幣公司American Bitcoin計劃公開。

The company announced Monday (May 15) that it had agreed to merge with Gryphon Digital Mining. Upon closing, the combined company, operating under the American Bitcoin brand and led by the company’s directors, will trade on the Nasdaq.

該公司週一（5月15日）宣布，已同意與Gryphon數字採礦合併。關閉後，這家合併後的公司將在美國比特幣品牌下運營，並由公司董事領導，將在納斯達克交易。

“Our vision for American Bitcoin is to create the most investable Bitcoin accumulation platform in the market,” Eric Trump, American Bitcoin’s co-founder and chief strategy officer, said in a news release. “Today’s announcement marks an important milestone in that journey, bringing us closer to offering every investor access to a purpose-built platform engineered for scale and long-term value creation in what we believe is one of the most important asset classes of our time.”

美國比特幣聯合創始人兼首席戰略官埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）在新聞稿中說：“我們對美國比特幣的願景是建立市場上最可投資的比特幣積累平台。” “今天的公告標誌著這一旅程的重要里程碑，使我們更接近為每個投資者提供專門建造的平台，該平台設計為規模和長期價值創造，我們認為這是我們時代最重要的資產類別之一。”

Taking the company public is crucial toward expanding the business at the scale and speed it envisions, added Asher Genoot, board member of American Bitcoin and CEO of Hut 8, which launched the crypto firm earlier this year.

美國比特幣的董事會成員兼HUT 8的首席執行官Asher Genoot補充說，將公司公眾公開以擴展業務至關重要。

“Time-to-market was a critical factor, and this transaction enables an efficient path to public markets by combining with an entity that is structurally aligned with American Bitcoin’s mining-focused launch strategy,” Genoot said.

Genoot說：“上市時間是一個關鍵因素，這項交易通過與一個與美國比特幣以採礦為重點的發射策略結合的實體結合來實現了公共市場的有效途徑。”

The planned merger comes as the Trump family’s crypto ties are stirring political discontent in Washington. For example, a bill to promote stablecoins was blocked in the U.S. Senate last week over political disagreements and controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures.

計劃中的合併是隨著特朗普家族在華盛頓引起的政治不滿，而這次合併是隨之而來的。例如，上週，美國參議院封鎖了一項促進穩定幣的法案，涉及圍繞唐納德·特朗普總統的加密貨幣的政治分歧和爭議。

The bill fell short of the required votes following pushback from Democrats who were seeking a provision that would block Trump and other senior officials from profiting from crypto ventures while in office.

在尋求一項規定的民主黨人的推回之後，該法案未能獲得所需的選票，該規定將阻止特朗普和其他高級官員在任職期間從加密貨幣企業中獲利。

As PYMNTS wrote, many Democrats still see stablecoin regulation as essential for consumer protection. Sen. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat who voted against the bill despite earlier acknowledging major progress in talks, said he hoped the issue could be revived.

正如PYMNTS所寫的那樣，許多民主黨人仍然認為Stablecoin規定對於消費者保護至關重要。弗吉尼亞州民主黨人馬克·華納（Mark Warner）參議員馬克·沃納（Mark Warner），儘管早些時候承認會談的重大進展，但他希望這一問題能夠恢復。

Also last week, a group of Senate Democrats wrote to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi seeking answers about ties between the Trump family’s digital asset ventures related to cryptocurrency exchange Binance, which pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating money laundering and sanctions laws.

同樣上週，一群參議院民主黨人寫信給財政部長Scott Bessent和總檢察長Pam Bondi，尋求有關特朗普家族與加密貨幣交換二進制相關的數字資產合資企業之間關係的答案，這些資產交易所在2023年認罪，以違反洗錢和製裁法。

“Our concerns about Binance’s compliance obligations are even more pressing given recent reports that the company is using the Trump family’s stablecoin to partner with foreign investment companies,” the senators wrote.

參議員寫道：“鑑於最近有報導稱，該公司正在使用特朗普家族的Stablecoin與外國投資公司合作，我們對Binance的合規義務的關注更加緊迫。”
