Eric Trump unveils Texas Bitcoin (BTC) mining facility… emphasizes operation based on renewable energy

Eric Trump, the second son of U.S. President Donald Trump, unveiled the mining facility of American Bitcoin, the Bitcoin (BTC) mining company he founded. He said the facility, located in Texas, is operated on a renewable energy basis.

On the 24th (local time), Eric Trump wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "The advanced mining facility in Texas uses renewable energy sources such as solar power to run more than 10,000 high-efficiency miners," adding, "The BTC mined this way protects the network while minimizing the carbon footprint."

Market observers say that after the presidential election the domestic mining industry is receiving renewed attention, and that the Trump family's direct and indirect moves related to virtual assets (cryptocurrencies) are accelerating. American Bitcoin currently holds about 3418 BTC.

This disclosure also aligns with the trend of U.S. mining companies adopting renewable energy. Industry observers say that energy cost reductions and increasing ESG demands are promoting a structural transformation of the mining industry.

Meanwhile, attention is focused on whether American Bitcoin plans to expand additional facilities in the future.
