Trump-linked American Bitcoin is expanding its mining operations with the purchase of 11,298 new ASIC machines expected to boost its hashing capacity by about 3.05 exahash per second.
The equipment will be deployed in March at the company’s Drumheller facility in Alberta, Canada, increasing total owned capacity by roughly 12%.
“As Bitcoin matures, the priority is clear: grow American-owned, professionally operated hashrate,”
Said American Bitcoin co-founder, Eric Trump.
Following the acquisition, the company’s total owned fleet will expand to 89,242 miners, representing about 28.1 EH/s of total capacity.
Once the new machines are fully deployed, the working fleet is expected to include 58,999 operational miners producing roughly 25.0 EH/s at an average efficiency of 14.1 joules per terahash.
American Bitcoin said the expansion aligns with its strategy of accumulating Bitcoin through mining, with holdings growing from 5,041 BTC at the end of 2025 to more than 6,000 BTC.
The investment comes as several major mining companies increasingly divert data centre capacity toward artificial intelligence workloads instead of expanding Bitcoin mining infrastructure.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $66,195.32.
