Forbes published an article criticizing Eric Trump's Bitcoin business as a disaster, pointing out that Eric Trump promotes his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin (ABTC) as a money printer, but in reality, it is just an arbitrage tool designed to exploit investors who support MAGA (Make America Great Again). American Bitcoin was established in 2025 and quickly went public on NASDAQ, leveraging the Trump family brand and the Bitcoin craze to push its valuation to $13.2 billion.

Eric Trump vigorously promoted the company as the "leader in the Bitcoin world" during the earnings call, but the actual company has only a few full-time employees and mainly relies on story marketing rather than solid operations. The company continuously sells overvalued stock to buy Bitcoin, while Eric has almost no investment, yet has increased his personal wealth from about $190 million to $280 million, with other insiders also profiting significantly.

Meanwhile, ordinary investors, especially MAGA supporters, have suffered heavy losses. Over the past eight months, American Bitcoin's stock has dropped about 92% from its peak, resulting in cumulative losses of about $500 million for investors. Forbes questions the actual profitability of American Bitcoin's Bitcoin mining business, believing that its advertised "half-price mining" is difficult to achieve and is more about using the Trump brand for high-priced stock dumping.
