Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Matt Prusak, CEO of American Bitcoin, joins us to discuss the strategic partnership between HUT 8 and the Trump family for its latest subsidiary, American Bitcoin. Hut 8 is reallocating nearly all of its self-mining assets (10 EH/s) to American Bitcoin and taking an 80% stake in the company. Prusak explains why Hut 8 has taken this approach to focus self-mining efforts with American Bitcoin while the parent company focuses on energy, infrastructure, and AI. Plus, he touches on American Bitcoin’s ambitious plans to reach 50 EH/s and the company’s plans to go public.
# Notes:

We’re exploring darknet markets, from their history with the Silk Road to how they function today. Bitcoin vs. Monero usage, exit scams, and why these markets look like they're stuck in 2004 despite handling billions in transactions.
Colin and Charlie dive into the seedy underbelly of cryptocurrency—darknet markets. From the early days of the Farmers Market to the infamous Silk Road and beyond, they explore how these marketplaces function, why they initially struggled without Bitcoin, and the recent shift from Monero back to Bitcoin following exchange delistings. With $2 billion in annual volume yet surprisingly flat growth, they examine the robust review systems, exit scams, and why these sites stubbornly maintain their 2004-era aesthetics.

Two stories dominated headlines this week, and they both have to do with Trump: Hut 8 launches a new Trump-back subsidiary, American Bitcoin, and blanket tariffs are set to disrupt everything from auto sales to ASIC miner imports.
Welcome to The Mining Pod's news roundup! Colin Harper and Matt Kimmel are joined by special guest Ethan Vera, the COO of Luxor, to discuss one of the most electric weeks for bitcoin mining news this year. They break down Hut8's new Trump-affiliated subsidiary American Bitcoin, Galaxy Digital's 15-year, $4.5 billion hosting agreement with CoreWeave, and how the Trump administration's blanket tariffs are bad news for miners and could lead to a 20-30% rise in ASIC miner prices. Plus, they cover Cango’s proposal to sell its auto-finance business to a Bitmain-linked entity for $352 million, and for this week’s cry corner, why Jack Dorsey thinks Lightning just isn’t cutting it.
# Notes:
- Hash price at pre-election lows of $40/PH/s/day
- Hut 8’sTrump-backed American Bitcoin
- Galaxy-CoreWeave deal worth $4.5B over 15 years
- New tariffs that will impact miners: 36% Thailand, 32% Indonesia, 24% Malaysia
-Cango proposes to sell its autofi business for $352 million
