Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are launching a new Bitcoin mining venture, American Bitcoin .

The Trumps will own 20% of the company, with the remaining 80% controlled by Hut 8 Mining Corp.

The deal positions the Trumps at the intersection of two highly profitable industries, real estate and cryptocurrency.

Eric Trump sees it as a hedge against the family’s real estate holdings.

While we don’t yet know whether American Bitcoin will be the next big hit in the crypto world, it sure is one investors should keep an eye on.
