SkyBridge founder father and son lead investment in Trump family-backed American Bitcoin $220 million funding

2025.11.15 21:08:23

On November 15th, as per Fortune magazine, Anthony Scaramucci, who held the position of White House Communications Director briefly during the first Trump administration, subsequently became a public critic of the President. Nevertheless, this did not prevent the SkyBridge Capital founder and his son AJ Scaramucci from providing support to American Bitcoin - a Bitcoin mining company co-founded by Eric Trump, the son of President Trump, with Donald Jr. also involved in the investments. During an interview with Fortune magazine, the Scaramucci father and son disclosed that in July, AJ's investment firm, Solari Capital, led a $220 million funding round for this "Trump family company". American Bitcoin completed this funding prior to going public through a reverse merger in September of this year, yet it never made the list of investors public. AJ mentioned that Solari Capital had invested more than $100 million in the company but refused to provide a specific figure. Anthony himself also invested a small amount of funds without disclosing the exact amount.
