Eric Trump Bets Big on Bitcoin: Plans to Dominate U.S. Mining Sector

Move over, China—America’s getting a new mining heavyweight. Eric Trump just dropped a playbook to put the U.S. at the forefront of Bitcoin mining, and Wall Street’s already scrambling to price in the political volatility.

The Trump Mining Gambit

Details are thin (naturally), but the plan reportedly leans on deregulation, energy subsidies, and—because it’s 2025—a NFT loyalty program for retail investors. Because nothing says ’sound monetary policy’ like cartoon digital collectibles.

Energy or Political Capital?

The real question isn’t whether the U.S. can compete with global mining pools. It’s whether this is a genuine infrastructure push or just a leveraged bet on the 2028 election cycle. Either way, miners are buying the dip.

But unlike many institutional players focusing solely on buying, Trump aims to compete directly with Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy—not by purchasing bitcoin at six-figure prices, but by mining it more efficiently. His goal? Produce BTC at a fraction of the market rate, targeting extraction costs as low as $37,000.

Calling it a two-track race—one to accumulate, one to produce—Trump believes American Bitcoin will lead the latter, combining strategic infrastructure with cost-effective operations to claim a top spot in the global mining sector.
