Bitcoin’s trajectory is becoming a central theme in the first family’s business interests, with Eric Trump explaining why he believes the market is setting up for a dramatic surge. His comments, made in a YouTube interview with Grant Cardone, offered a rare look into how American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC) approaches the crypto industry and why the Trumps consider BTC one of the most important financial opportunities of the decade.

Eric Trump Thinks Parabolic Rally Is Coming For Bitcoin

Eric Trump made it clear that ABTC operates on the conviction that Bitcoin is gearing up for a powerful upward acceleration. American Bitcoin is a publicly traded BTC mining and accumulation company co-founded by Eric Trump in partnership with Hut 8 Corp.

According to Eric Trump, the company is structured to maximize its BTC holdings ahead of that move rather than dilute resources on heavy management costs or constant liquidations. In his words, the comparison with other miners is straightforward because ABTC wants to hold the asset it believes will appreciate sharply instead of turning mined Bitcoin into daily operating cash.

His reasoning is a departure from the traditional mining business model, which typically sells a significant share of its Bitcoin to cover operational costs. Trump insists that ABTC is deliberately positioning itself differently because “we want to be buying the asset that we believe is going to appreciate.”

Eric Trump said BTC’s surge is not limited to ordinary crypto investors but is also driven by the quiet entry of sovereign funds, family offices, and major institutions. He also contrasted Bitcoin with real estate, noting that he now spends more time in crypto because it grows in ways traditional property cannot. 

Real estate is slow and tied to limited cash flow, while Bitcoin scales globally and appreciates far faster. That difference is one of the reasons he expects BTC to reach around $500,000 in the long term, a prediction he offered without hesitation.

ABTC’s Unique Model: Building BTC Per Share

Ashet Genoot, CEO of Hut 8 Corp., expanded on the company’s internal philosophy by explaining how ABTC measures value differently from other publicly traded firms. Instead of focusing on earnings per share, he said their model centers on “Bitcoin per share,” which is a metric that reflects how much BTC each shareholder indirectly controls through the company.

Genoot explained that the question they ask every day is simple: how do we grow the amount of Bitcoin per share? He described their system as a constant pursuit of increasing BTC reserves through multiple channels, whether mining coins at scale or buying them whenever conditions favor accumulation. 

The goal is for every ABTC shareholder to benefit from a rising quantity of BTC over time, turning the company into a long-term accumulator rather than a miner that immediately sells its output to cover expenses.

According to regulatory filings, ABTC operates tens of thousands of ASIC miners under Hut 8’s infrastructure and has accumulated more than 4,000 BTC as of late 2025.

According to interviews with Eric Trump and ABTC Executive Chairman Asher Genoot, American Bitcoin (ABTC) has structured its business around one clear aim: add more Bitcoin to its balance sheet.

The firm says it spends less on big management teams and more on mining and buying Bitcoin so each share holds more Bitcoin over time. That metric — Bitcoin per share — is tracked in the same way public companies track earnings per share, the executives said.

American Bitcoin Tracks Bitcoin Per Share

ABTC’s leaders told investors they treat the number of Bitcoin each share represents as the core performance measure. Genoot said the firm began with a single question: “What do investors actually want from a Bitcoin-focused business?”

Based on reports, the answer they reached was simple — grow the amount of Bitcoin held per share. That amount, they say, should rise each day thanks to mining and occasional purchases when markets look attractive.

Company Adds BTC ‘At A Steep Discount’

Trump told investor Grant Cardone that ABTC adds new Bitcoin to its balance sheet every day at what he described as a steep discount compared to market prices. According To his comments, the firm also plans to keep buying when conditions are favorable.

The approach is straightforward: mine and accumulate rather than chase short-term fiat profits. This strategy is pitched as a way to give shareholders more direct exposure to Bitcoin’s future gains.

Bullish Price Calls And Timeframes

Trump has made very large price forecasts publicly. He forecast $1 million for Bitcoin in late 2024 and repeated that belief during 2025 at a conference in Hong Kong.

During a recent interview, he projected Bitcoin could trade above $500,000 within the next four years, marking November 2029 as a benchmark date. Those figures underline why ABTC’s model is built on a long-term and highly optimistic outlook for BTC.

Global Demand And Institutional Access

Trump pointed to strong demand in many parts of the world as part of his reasoning. He said he sees interest from governments, family offices, big companies, and wealthy individuals.

Reports have disclosed that regions with weak currencies or high inflation show faster adoption, because people there often want assets that are hard for authorities to seize.

He also noted that mainstream financial firms now offer more ways to get exposure to crypto, which he believes makes it easier for everyday investors to buy in.
