Donald Trump's oldest sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., saw their stake in American Bitcoin Corp. (ABTC) valued at over $1.5 billion following the company’s stock market debut on the Nasdaq on September 3, 2025.

On its first day, its shares peaked at $14.52 before closing at $8.04, up 16.5% for the session. The company reported approximately 908.6 million outstanding shares, with both the elder Trump sons collectively holding a 20% stake, bringing their stake to over $1.5 billion at close. The highest price struck on Wednesday valued their stake close to $2.6 billion.

The bitcoin mining listing is being touted by Eric Trump as a milestone for integrating bitcoin into U.S. capital markets and as a proxy for bitcoin exposure.

"Crypto is exploding," said Eric Trump during an interview. "I would be saying right now, the crypto space is at least 50% of what I’m doing."
