Why the Trump family is betting on Bitcoin mining & how it fits with the US BTC Reserve — Matt Prusak (ABTC)
Season 1 Episode 8
In this episode, I sit down with Matt Prusak, President of American Bitcoin (ABTC). Matt breaks down ABTC’s accumulator model — combining high-efficiency mining with a treasury engine designed to maximize Bitcoin per share.
We also dive into hashrate and national security, blockspace geopolitics, U.S. energy dominance, and the role of miners in America’s emerging Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
If you care about mining or the future of nation-state Bitcoin, this is a must-watch.
